Is it possible to register in a garden house?

For a long time, there have been disputes about whether it is possible to register a place of residence (ie, a residence permit) in garden and country houses. You can often come across diametrically opposite situations: some consider such registration illegal and impossible, others consider it absolutely legal. That is why in this article we will try to dot all the dots on the "and" regarding the question of whether it is possible to register in a garden house. We also note that if you need a detailed consultation on this issue, the specialists of our Prykhodko and Partners law office will help you with this.

Registration options in the garden house

According to the current Ukrainian legislation, the following legal methods of registering a place of residence in a garden house are distinguished:

• Transfer of the garden house to residential status

In this case, we are talking about changing the functional purpose of the house. For this, for example, a decision of the city/village council on the basis of a prepared report on the technical survey of the real estate object is sufficient.

• Availability of a relevant court decision

This option will be an ideal solution in cases where, for example, a person has no other place to register.

• Change of purpose of the land plot

Another option to register in a garden house is to change the purpose of the land on which the real estate is located. After that, it is necessary to change the functional purpose of the garden house. That is, it receives the status of residential.

The first method is the simplest, i.e. converting a garden house into a residential one. For this, you need to prepare the following package of documents:

• Statement.
• A copy of the document confirming ownership of the real estate object. It must be drawn up in the manner regulated by current Ukrainian legislation.
• Consent of all owners of the real estate object to change its functional purpose.
• Report + conclusion on the technical compliance of the real estate object with state building regulations.

Why change the purpose of the land plot?

If you want to register in a garden house, you should think about changing the purpose of the land plot. This is due to the fact that in the future, for the alienation of such a real estate object, the notary may refuse to certify the corresponding document if there is a discrepancy between the purpose of the land plot and the building object.

Determining the possibility of changing the intended purpose of a plot of land is carried out by the relevant authorities after conducting an audit. Only after that, it is advisable to go through the procedure of reconstruction of a country house/court house, which allows you to change the functional purpose of the real estate object.
