Legalize the elevator
Legalization of a farm elevator is a complex process that involves legalization of construction, commissioning and registration of rights in the state register. This process has its own specific features, due to the functional purpose of the elevator, which will be highlighted in this article by a lawyer from our law firm.
Construction of an elevator: key features

During the construction of the elevator itself, it is necessary to take into account:
- the scale of the facility (including silos, transport galleries, dryers, cleaning equipment, laboratories, etc.);
- the specifics of use (due to the purpose for cleaning, drying, storage of grain and oilseed crops, the settings of ventilation systems, temperature regime, fire safety, etc. play an important role);
- the need for developed engineering communications (access roads, significant power supply, water supply, aspiration systems).
Important! Further operation of elevators must also comply with current environmental standards. This involves not only a specific organization of work, but also obtaining a permit for emissions into the atmosphere. You can find out more by contacting one of our specialized lawyers for advice.
Moreover, the elevator must accommodate specialized equipment: chain conveyors; separators; grain dryer; silos; truck scales, and others. To legalize such equipment, it is important not only to have the originals of title documents and contracts with the supplier, but also the corresponding acts of putting it into operation.
How to properly legalize an elevator: an algorithm of actions
Preparation of an elevator and its commissioning
The procedure for commissioning an elevator has its own characteristics, which can be described as follows:
- as a general rule, commissioning is carried out by obtaining a certificate of acceptance into operation of a completed facility from the territorial body of DIAM;
- to obtain the certificate described above, it is necessary to submit a significant amount of documentation (application, title documents for the land plot, approved project documentation, results of examinations (if conducted), technical passports for buildings or equipment);
- representatives of the territorial body of DIAM can verify the compliance of the constructed elevator with the provided documentation and legislative requirements, initiating an on-site procedure;
- in the case of phased construction, commissioning of separate commissioning complexes is possible with the issuance of relevant certificates for each stage.
Important information! There are often cases when an elevator is the result of unauthorized construction (construction without permits). To obtain information on the correct procedure for legalizing self-construction, we recommend consulting a real estate lawyer from our law firm.
Registration of rights to an elevator through the DRRP
To complete the entire legalization procedure, it is necessary to carry out state registration of rights to the elevator, respectively. This involves submitting to the Central Registration Service or local notary (with payment of an administrative fee):
- application for state registration of the established sample;
- certificate of acceptance into operation of the elevator (less often – technical passport).
Registration of ownership or use rights for a land plot under an elevator
Depending on the situation, we may be talking about registration of ownership or use rights for land. The features of this process include:
- first, determining the boundaries of the land plot, obtaining documentation from the land management organization;
- second, assigning a cadastral number to the relevant land plot, entering information into the State Land Cadastre (SLC);
- third, bringing the purpose of the land plot in accordance with its actual use;
- fourth, preparing relevant documents for the land plot under an elevator (state act on ownership, decision of the local government body on granting land for permanent use, extract from the Land Registry, etc.);
- finally, state registration of rights in the Land Registry.
