On January 1, 2019, the new 217-FZ “On Gardening by Citizens...” came into force, which significantly changed the lives of gardeners, including in the area of placing residential buildings on garden plots.
And now more details...
217-FZ introduces a new concept garden plot of land - a plot of land intended for recreation of citizens and (or) cultivation of agricultural crops by citizens for their own needs with the right to place garden houses, residential buildings, outbuildings and garages(clause 1 of article 3 217-FZ).
At the same time, all land plots with such types of permitted use as "for gardening", "for gardening", and “dacha land plot”, “for dacha farming”, “for dacha construction” become equivalent and are recognized as garden land plots (clause 7 of article 54 217-FZ).
It follows from this that the owner of a garden plot of land has the right to place on the plot his choice: a garden house or a residential building.
Until 2019, gardeners were allowed to build only residential buildings on plots without the right of registration (registration), and therefore without the right to permanently reside in them.
With the entry into force of 217-FZ, buildings located on a garden plot, registered in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, as « residential building", "residential", are recognized as residential buildings. Consequently, since residential buildings have been recognized as residential buildings, the owners have the right to register in them at their place of residence. At the same time, documents for residential buildings do not need to be reissued (clause 9 of Article 54 217-FZ).
The Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation also equalized the concepts of “individual housing construction object”, “residential building” and “individual residential building” (clause 39 of Article 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Unlike an individual residential building, the garden house is non-residential. Information contained in the extract from the Unified State Register on the purpose of buildings, such as “non-residential structure”, “non-residential” “seasonal use”, with the exception of outbuildings and garages, are recognized as garden houses (clause 11 of article 54 217-FZ).
Also, Article 16 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, which contains a list of types of residential premises, does not classify a garden house as residential.
Garden house is only a building for seasonal use, intended to satisfy citizens’ household and other needs, associated with their temporary stay in such a building (clause 2 of article 3 217-FZ).
Therefore, you cannot register in garden houses.
According to Art. 1 of the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation, an individual residential building has the following features:
The construction of a residential building on a garden plot does not differ from the construction on a land plot intended for individual housing construction, with the exception of the following points:
1. Territorial zone. According to paragraph 2 of Art. 23 217-FZ, the construction of capital construction projects on garden land plots is permitted only if such land plots are included in the territorial zones provided for by the rules of land use and development, in relation to which town planning regulations have been approved that establish the maximum parameters for such construction. For example, a garden plot of land is located in the territorial zone CX-1 – Gardening area, But the rules of land use and development in this zone do not provide for the construction of capital construction projects, then it will not be possible to obtain permits for construction.
ADVICE: To find out in which territorial zone the land plot is located, you need to order an urban planning plan for the land plot (GPZU) from the local government - free, term – 1 month. or an extract from the information system for supporting urban planning activities (extract from ISOGD) – usually for a fee (up to 1000 rubles), period - up to 1 week.
2. Extension of the dacha amnesty. Since August 2018, it is no longer necessary to obtain permission to build a residential building. Instead of a construction permit, it is necessary to receive a notification about the compliance of the planned facility and subsequently a notification about the compliance of the constructed facility with legal requirements.
Documents are submitted in person to the Administration or through the MFC. In response, the Administration or MFC specialist issues the applicant a receipt for receipt of documents.
Application processing time – 45 calendar days.
Upon expiration of the specified period, the Administration makes one of two decisions:
In case of refusal, the Administration is obliged to refer in its decision to one of the following grounds for refusal:
An applicant who does not agree with the decision to refuse has the right to appeal it in court within 3 months.
From 2019, a new law on horticulture* will come into force, which eliminates the concept of “dacha non-profit partnership”, leaving only two possible forms of partnerships: horticultural and vegetable gardening. Accordingly, two types of land plots are provided: garden and vegetable plots. Dacha plots will be equivalent to garden plots.
“The horticulture law does not establish any fundamental changes regarding the development of garden plots. But if you are now starting construction on your garden plot, then it is better to know in advance what can be built on this land,” warns the Office of Rosreestr for the Chuvash Republic.
On a garden plot of land you can build:
Garden house for seasonal use. For its placement (construction) it is not necessary to obtain appropriate permits. The concept of “garden house” is being introduced to replace the existing “residential building”. The intended purpose of this building is temporary stay and recreation of citizens;
A residential building intended for permanent residence, with the possibility of registration. To build a residential building on such a site, a building permit will be required;
Outbuildings (including barns, bathhouses and other structures and buildings on a foundation);
On a garden plot of land, you can build outbuildings that are not real estate objects, intended for storing equipment and agricultural crops. That is, lightweight buildings that can be easily moved, rearranged, disassembled and reassembled.
The construction of capital construction projects on a garden plot, according to the new law, is allowed only if such land plots are included in the territorial zones provided for by the rules of land use and development, for which:
Town planning regulations have been approved;
Limit parameters for permitted construction have been established.
That is, the possibility of building a permanent house will depend not only on the type of permitted use of the land plot (garden or vegetable garden), but also on the town planning regulations that establish the maximum parameters for such construction.
The Office of Rosreestr for the Chuvash Republic also notes that replacement of previously issued documents will not be required. This replacement can be carried out at the request of the copyright holders.
Thus, buildings located on garden plots of land, information about which was entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate before 01/01/2019 with the designation “residential”, “residential building”, are recognized as residential buildings.
Buildings and structures with a “non-residential” purpose, seasonal or auxiliary use, intended for recreation and temporary stay of people, which are not outbuildings and garages, are recognized as garden houses.
*Federal Law No. 217-FZ of July 29, 2017 “On gardening and horticulture by citizens for their own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation.”
A garden house in its most classical sense is not intended for permanent residence of people. As a result, it is impossible to register in it. Such a building is considered non-residential. However, this does not apply to all houses in SNT. Let's look at the issue in more detail in this article.
Within the framework of this article, you need to clearly understand what a non-residential and residential building is, as well as how they differ from each other. - This is a building that is intended for permanent residence of people. You can register in it. A non-residential building is intended for temporary residence. For example, in the summer. It is impossible to stay in such a house in winter, since it is not insulated and heating is not supplied (there may be other options).
Example: A small house where gardeners store equipment and take a break from the summer heat is not intended for permanent residence. It can even have beds, but communications usually only include electricity, and not always. Such a house cannot be recognized as residential. A permanent building, with all communications connected, insulated, with heating and everything necessary for life, even if it is located on a gardening plot, can be considered residential.
Based on the above, a garden house can be considered both a residential and non-residential building, it all depends on its condition, arrangement and many other factors. Until 2019, the concept of “garden plot” was divided into several others. It was allowed to build both residential and non-residential buildings. And if the building was at one time registered as residential, then after 2019 no amendments are required. The house will automatically receive residential status.
Until 2019, even if a house was recognized as residential, but was located on a garden plot, it was impossible to register in it. Now all owners have received this right.
On the other hand, if the house is being built after 2019 or has not previously been registered as residential, it will first have to be given the status of a residential building. Otherwise, you will not be able to register in it.
In addition to the lack of registration options, there are other problems. For example, pledging a non-residential house is much more difficult than a residential one, not to mention the fact that residential real estate automatically costs much more than non-residential real estate.
To understand the difference between a residential and non-residential building, you need to consider the requirements that apply to residential buildings located on a garden plot. It is these parameters that distinguish these buildings.
A residential cottage (house) must meet the following requirements:
In addition to the above, additional requirements are put forward for the area of premises inside the house:
At the same time, the ceiling height in above-ground premises must be at least 2.5 meters, and in the basement - at least 2 meters.
These requirements can be partially ignored, but they cannot differ greatly from the stated parameters. Otherwise, it will be impossible/uncomfortable to use such premises.
If the country house is already registered as a residential building (until 2019) and the only problem is to give it an address (and get the opportunity to obtain permanent registration), then it is enough to contact the local administration and demand that a real address be assigned to this property. Usually this is done on demand.
Address information is also entered into Rosreestr, so you may need to order a new, fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
If the house is not yet residential, you will have to first recognize it as such and only then require an address to be assigned.
The main point in the procedure for recognizing a house as residential is contacting the administration or the MFC. To do this you need a certain list of documents:
The presented list may be slightly modified or supplemented depending on the situation and the region where the home is located. For example, they may require a certificate of no debt for utilities. Despite the fact that the presence of debts is not a basis for refusing to recognize a house as residential, it is for this reason that they are refused very often. The problem can be resolved through court, but you will still have to pay off the entire debt.
Despite the fact that the procedure for transferring a garden house to residential status is formally free, in fact you will have to incur some costs associated with the preparation of documentation and subsequent registration of changes:
The timing largely depends on the applicant himself, but there are some points he cannot control:
Despite its apparent simplicity, in fact, turning a garden house into a residential building is a rather complex procedure. Often this cannot be done without an experienced lawyer. At a free consultation, our specialists will talk about the most important points that require the attention of owners. They can also take care of all the paperwork, preparation of documents, and will even represent the client’s interests in court, if necessary.
On October 15, 2013, the State Duma adopted in the first reading bill No. 313087-6 "On amendments to the Federal Law of April 15, 1998 No. 66-FZ". We are talking about providing Russians with the opportunity to register at their place of residence in a residential building owned by to them on the right of ownership and located on a garden, dacha plot of land or agricultural land.
Current situation
At the moment, registration at the place of residence in a residential building located on a garden or dacha plot of land is expressly prohibited (Article 1 of the Federal Law of April 15, 1998 No. 66-FZ "").
But since many summer residents actually permanently reside at a considerable distance from their place of registration, it is very difficult for them to exercise some civil rights and obligations. For example, in accordance with Art. 3 of the Federal Law of November 26, 1996 No. 138-FZ "" the right to elect deputies of representative bodies of local government and elected officials of local government belongs to a citizen of the Russian Federation, permanent resident in the territory of the relevant municipality and who has reached 18 years of age on election day.
In addition, there is a part of the population for whom a garden or country house is their only home, so the issue of registration at the place of residence for such people is especially acute.
However, the number of people wishing to register at their place of residence in a residential building located on a garden or dacha plot of land is not that high - only 29%.
We asked site visitors whether they are ready to register at their place of residence in a residential building located on a garden or dacha plot of land, if such an opportunity is provided? The survey showed the following results:
29% of respondents are ready to register in any case. Among the arguments were the following: " By checking out of the apartment and registering in your own home, housing and communal services costs will be reduced,” “I will not depend on general communications,” etc.
Some respondents admitted that the house is their only home for a long time and the issue of registration is especially acute for them: " I have been living in a country house for five years, I have no other housing, and I cannot register in it", "Many families buy dachas within the city for permanent residence because it is very difficult to earn money for an apartment. My little daughter and I lived in the country for six years; if we had the opportunity to register, we would still live, but without registration we had difficulties with school".
22% respondents noted that they do not have property outside the city.
18% respondents are ready to register in a house located on a garden or dacha plot only if the utilities, transport and other infrastructure are improved: " Lighting, road, communications"Some survey participants draw attention to inflated energy tariffs: " Electricity is very expensive".
17% do not see the need for this, arguing that the majority still use garden and dacha plots for summer pastime, and are not ready to bear the additional costs of maintaining the house in the winter: " Our climate is cold and in winter I will still live in an apartment", "This will entail new expenses and costs for maintaining the house in winter.".
10% Users answered the question that they were basically ready, but were afraid to check out of the apartment. At the same time, one of the survey participants expressed fear that if he registers in a country house, then "his apartment could be taken away."
At the moment, the procedure for registering citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and place of residence is regulated by the Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242-I "" and the Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation from registration at the place of stay and place of residence within the Russian Federation Federation (approved).
Country house– a residential building located on a dacha plot of land.
Garden house– a residential building located on a garden plot of land.
The bill under consideration, adopted in the first reading, intends to replace the existing one in the Federal Law of April 15, 1998 No. 66-FZ " " concept of "residential building" on "individual residential building" which in turn will correspond to the terms already used in legislation, in particular in the codes of the Russian Federation, and will also remove the issue of the status of a residential building erected on a garden or dacha plot.
The requirements for residential premises and the procedure for recognizing them as residential were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2006 No. 47 "" (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations).
In order for a country house or garden house to be recognized as a residential premises, it is necessary to assess its compliance with established requirements.
To initiate the procedure for assessing a residential building for suitability for permanent residence, the owner must contact the interdepartmental commission at the location of the property.
The commission is created by a federal executive body, an executive body of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation or a local government body, depending on the jurisdiction of the location of the residential building.
The commission includes representatives of executive authorities, as well as representatives of bodies authorized to conduct regional housing supervision (municipal housing control), state control and supervision in the areas of sanitary-epidemiological, fire, industrial, environmental and other safety, consumer rights protection and well-being person.
Also, the owner of the residential building or his authorized person is involved in the work of the commission, with the right of an advisory vote, and, if necessary, qualified experts from design and survey organizations, with the right of a casting vote ().
Within 30 days from the date of application from the owner of a residential building and based on an assessment of the residential building’s compliance with established requirements, the interdepartmental commission makes one of the following decisions in the form of a conclusion:
Only after a residential building located on a dacha or garden plot of land is recognized as a residential premises, it will be possible to register in it at the place of residence.
Pitfalls of "dacha registration"
Despite the fact that registration is of a notification nature, and the absence of it cannot serve as a basis for restriction or a condition for the implementation of the rights and freedoms of citizens provided for by the laws of the Russian Federation, in practice Russians have to face a number of problems arising due to the lack of registration, for example, when obtaining a driver's license, international passport, registering children for school, receiving pensions, etc.
Undoubtedly, the bill under discussion, if approved, will in the future allow citizens to fully exercise their constitutional right to choose their place of residence. However, attention should be paid to a number of possible problems that a person who decides to register at the place of residence in a residential building located on a garden or dacha plot may encounter. Let's look at them in more detail.
Independent organization and maintenance of territorial infrastructure. The first thing worth paying attention to is the fact that the territories of garden and dacha land plots on which residential buildings are located will not be automatically classified as settlement lands if citizens register on them at their place of residence. For the transfer of land plots from one category to another, a special procedure is provided, regulated by Federal Law of December 21, 2004 No. 172-FZ "".
A petition to transfer a land plot from one category to another is sent by an interested person to the executive body of state power or local government body authorized to consider this petition. In practice, the transfer procedure is a rather complex undertaking and can take a long time - from one year or more.
Accordingly, local governments of nearby settlements will not have obligations to organize and maintain in proper condition the engineering and transport infrastructure necessary for the normal functioning of residents, in accordance with Federal Law No. 131-FZ of October 6, 2003 "". Therefore, permanent residents of garden and country houses will need to independently resolve organizational issues related, for example, to repairing and cleaning roads in winter, connecting to communication networks, connecting electricity, water supply, etc.
To consider the suitability of the premises for permanent residence, the applicant submits the following documents to the commission at the location of the residential premises:
|
Loss of social benefits, benefits and subsidies. It should also be taken into account that when changing registration at the place of residence, a citizen may lose some social benefits, subsidies or additional payments provided at the subject level (we are talking about cases if the future place of residence will be in another region). For example, in accordance with sub. "e" clause 33 of the Moscow Government Resolution No. 1268-PP dated November 17, 2009 " " in case of deregistration of a pensioner at his place of residence in Moscow the right to receive regional social benefits is lost. So, for example, as of November 15, 2013, the surcharge for non-working pensioners registered at their place of residence in the capital was set to the level of the regional social standard in the amount of 12,000 rubles (clause 3 of Moscow Government Decree dated November 1, 2011 No. 514- PP " ").
Increase in real estate taxes. Another point that should be taken into account is the possible increase in the market value of a residential building after it acquires the status of an individual residential building and the opportunity to register in it at the place of residence. Undoubtedly, on the one hand, this is a pleasant plus, but on the other, the amount of taxes that the owner of such a house will have to pay also increases. This will become especially noticeable after the upcoming changes to some other legislative acts of the Russian Federation come into effect. We are talking about introducing a single tax on real estate, the amount of which will be calculated based on the cadastral value (as close as possible to the market value), and not the inventory value of the property, as is the case now.
Permitting procedure for reconstruction and redevelopment of residential premises. After a residential building is recognized as a residential premises, all planned reconstruction and redevelopment of such premises can be carried out only after obtaining the appropriate permit (and clause 1.7 of the Rules and Standards for the Technical Operation of the Housing Stock (approved).
Fictitious registration. You should also pay attention to the possibility of “fictitious” registration at the place of residence in a residential building located on a summer cottage, as an abuse of their rights by some unscrupulous citizens. A person who registers at his main place of residence may actually not appear there throughout the entire period. This action will entail the inability to quickly find a person if necessary, which in turn will create obstacles for government agencies in bringing the above-mentioned person to justice if he commits an unlawful act. Or it will make it difficult for interested parties to compensate for the harm caused to them by such a citizen.
As an example, we can cite the situation with fines for violating the rules, which are automatically sent to the registration address at the citizen’s place of residence.
To summarize, we can say that, undoubtedly, the discussed legislative changes will bring clarity to the determination of the legal status of a residential building located on a dacha or garden plot of land. In turn, this will allow citizens in the future to avoid difficulties that arise in practice due to the lack of registration at the place of residence and to fully realize the constitutional right to freely choose their place of residence.
However, it should be remembered that, in addition to the positive aspects, registration at the place of residence in residential buildings located on dacha or garden plots also entails a number of inconveniences, which are discussed in our material.
