Change of purpose of the land plot

Purpose or category of land is the permitted way of using the land plot specified in the permit documentation. So, for example, a plot of land can be intended for construction, have an agricultural or recreational purpose. It is possible to change this destination, but not in all cases. Most often, a change in the intended purpose of a land plot may be necessary in situations where, for example, you bought a plot of land that was previously communally owned or belonged to the state. If you plan to build a house on this plot, you should contact specialists for the most prompt implementation of these plans. Changing the purpose of the land plot is one of the areas of work of PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS lawyers.

Punishment for arbitrarily changing the purpose of the land plot

The change of purpose of the land plot must be carried out in accordance with the current Ukrainian legislation. If the procedure for changing and establishing the purpose of land is violated, this leads to:

• Recognizing concluded agreements as invalid.
• Refusals to complete the registration of land plots / recognition of the registration procedure as invalid.
• Invalidation of decisions of local self-government bodies and state authorities on granting land plots to legal entities and citizens.
• Prosecution of legal entities and citizens who are guilty of violating the procedure for changing/establishing the purpose of land use in accordance with current Ukrainian legislation.

The procedure for changing the purpose of the land plot

The purpose of land plots is changed by city, village or village councils (communities). We are talking about plots of land that do not belong to communal or state property.

The procedure for changing the purpose of the land plot involves the following stages:

1. Preparation of an application by the owner of the land plot regarding the change of its purpose.
   At this stage, it is also necessary to prepare a land management project regarding the allocation of the land plot.
   
2. The prepared land management project is submitted to the city, village, village council.
   Documentation for land plots located outside the settlement is handled by the district state administration.
   
3. Subject to the approval of the land management project, relevant changes are made to the State Land Cadastre.
