Transfer of agricultural land to populated lands. Transfer of agricultural land to the land of settlements

All territories in Russian Federation divided into sections depending on their composition. Regardless of who is the owner of the land, land plots are necessarily assigned the category - legal regime setting out acceptable uses of real estate.

The owner (land user) does not have the right to change the category on his own - the strictly regulated procedure for transfer and registration allows avoiding abuse during the operation of the site.

Citizens most often face the need to transfer a plot from one category to another when it comes to small land plots received many years ago for use from the municipality or a horticultural non-profit partnership (hereinafter referred to as SNT). Even the registration of ownership or privatization of such land does not give the owner the official right to build and register a residential building or other object on this territory that does not meet the target requirements. To put a building on state registration, you must obtain permission to transfer land from one category to another.

  1. Industrial. Plots of this category are allocated for the construction of transport routes and buildings, buildings for the defense and security of the country, for energy, communications and scientific programs and other special purposes.
  2. Lands of settlements (hereinafter in the text - RFP). Allotments set aside for the development of residential buildings. The main feature of such lands is that they cannot be located on land areas for other purposes or in private property.
  3. Agricultural purpose (hereinafter - ZSHN). The land resource required for the production of agricultural products: pastures, arable lands, allotments for gardening and horticulture, forest shelter belts, reservoirs for growing fish and land of a similar nature.
  4. Water fund.
  5. Specially Protected. These include the territories withdrawn (partially withdrawn) from the general circulation, which are of valuable value.
  6. Forest fund (read: how).
  7. Stock lands. State plots that have not been transferred for use to citizens or organizations and have not been sold into ownership.

Before starting the procedure for transferring a category of land allotment to another legal status, the owner (user) will need to clarify whether the legislation can permit such changes. The provisions of Federal Law 172 establish restrictions and mandatory conditions that will need to be observed to change the category of a particular type of land:

  1. For ZSHN. Transfer of such valuable allotments for the state to general grounds prohibited (paragraph 2 of article 7 of the Federal Law 172). Exceptional circumstances admitting changes are provided for allotments, the value of which is lower than 50% of the average cadastral price of land in the region. The law refers to such conditions the following reasons for changing the category:
  • conservation of the territory;
  • creation of especially valuable zones;
  • expansion of the RFP;
  • planned construction of industrial facilities;
  • transfer to the water or forest fund, to the land reserve zones, if the territory of the ZSKhN has become unsuitable for exploitation;
  • construction of roads, power lines, pipelines;
  • for the needs of defense, the implementation of international government projects;
  • planned development of minerals at the site of the ZSKhN;
  • placement of social facilities, including for education and health care, if there is no other territory for the construction of this facility.

  2. Industrial zones can be transferred to other categories without special restrictions (Article 9 of the Federal Law 172), but subject to full restoration according to the reclamation plan.
  3. Lands with special status (protected, valuable). They are transferred to another category extremely rarely due to the loss of valuable properties (Article 10 of the Federal Law 172). And on the contrary, any territory, with the exception of ZNP, can receive the status of a specially protected zone, provided there are conditions for the creation of a tourist, nature protection or other similarly valuable zone in this area.
  4. Forest and water areas. They are translated when creating especially valuable sites or constructing an object of state (municipal) significance, and are also integrated into the expanding boundaries of a settlement (Articles 11, 12 FZ 172).

It should be clarified that restrictions on the transfer of a specific territory to another category may be imposed by special regulations...

The owner of the dacha allotment, citizen P., filed a lawsuit with the court with a request to declare illegal the act of refusal to transfer the allotment from agricultural land to the ZNM category. Citizen P. substantiated his claim by the fact that in connection with the expansion of the residential neighborhood planned for 2017 - 2019, the decision of the meeting of the district Duma of the Starodvorsky municipal district No. n. Veseloe.

On July 1, 2017, citizen P. sent a petition to the administration of the Starodvorsky district to include his allotment in the territory of the town of Veseloye and transfer country land from the category of ZSHN in ZNP for individual housing construction (IZHS).

The administration of the Starodvorsky district made a decision to refuse to include the site in the boundaries of the town of Veseloye due to the fact that the construction of a residential complex has not yet begun, due to which the boundaries of the village are expanding.

It is regulated by Federal Law No. 172, the final decision is made by the regional administration. If the land plot is already within the boundaries of the settlement described in the master plan, then it may be necessary to change the type of permitted use in the application procedure.

If, in the event of transferring your site to individual housing construction, it will appear on the list of conditionally permitted or auxiliary, it is necessary to hold public hearings.

Conversion of agricultural land to industrial

Converting land from agricultural land to land is a long and difficult process. It is regulated by Federal Law No. 172. Transfer is possible in cases where the cadastral value of the land plot does not exceed the average value for the area or if there are no other options for the location of industrial facilities.

To do this, you must adhere to the following algorithm:

  • The completed application is submitted to the municipality or executive body.
  • It is necessary to attach a reclamation project to the documents - a set of measures necessary for restoration environment from the intended activity. It is also necessary to attach a state ecological expertise.

The development of reclamation projects is carried out on the basis of existing environmental, sanitary and hygienic, construction, water management, forestry and other norms and standards, taking into account regional climatic conditions and the location of the disturbed site. Reclamation includes two stages: technical and biological. The activities that are carried out at each stage should be reflected in the project. Technical stage provides for planning, the formation of slopes, the removal and application of a fertile soil layer, the construction of hydraulic engineering and reclamation structures, the disposal of toxic overburden, as well as other works that create the necessary conditions for further use of the reclaimed land for its intended purpose.

The biological stage includes a complex of agrotechnical and phytomeliorative measures aimed at improving the agrophysical, agrochemical, biochemical and other properties of the soil.

  • After consideration, a decision is made.
  • If the answer is yes, it is necessary to register the property rights.

As a result of the translation, you should have the following documents: a transfer act, a state registration certificate, a land plot lease agreement (if it is provided on a lease basis).

The land redistribution fund, in accordance with clause 2 of article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, is formed at the expense of land plots from agricultural land entering this fund: 1) in case of voluntary refusal of the land plot; 2) if there are no heirs either by law or by will, or none of the heirs has accepted the inheritance, or all heirs are deprived of the inheritance by the testator, or the heir has abandoned the inheritance in favor of the state or renounced the inheritance without indicating in favor of whom he is giving up inheritance; 3) upon compulsory seizure of a land plot in cases provided for by legislation.

In accordance with subparagraph 6 of clause 1 of article 7 of the commented Law (as amended by Federal Law of July 21, 2005 N 111-FZ), the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category is allowed in exceptional cases related to the construction of roads, power lines, communication lines (including line cable structures), oil pipelines, gas pipelines and other pipelines, railway lines and other similar structures (hereinafter referred to as linear objects) if there is an approved in established order a project for the reclamation of a part of agricultural land provided for the period of construction of linear facilities (for a land reclamation project, see the commentary to paragraph 2 of article 9 of this Law).

In the initial version of subparagraph 6 of clause 1 of article 7 of the commented Law, it was allowed to transfer agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category in the case of the construction of linear facilities, if their cadastral value was 30 percent or more less the cadastral value of the average district level and provided that line features were to be located along roads and crop rotation field boundaries.

In accordance with subparagraph 7 of clause 1 of the commented article (as amended by the Federal Law of July 21, 2005 N 111-FZ), the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category is allowed if international obligations of the Russian Federation, ensuring the country's defense and state security in the absence of other options for the location of the relevant facilities.

This subparagraph establishes the circumstances, in the event of which the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category can be carried out.

One of such circumstances is the international obligations of the Russian Federation, which are formed from international treaties. According to the Federal Law of July 15, 1995 No. N 101-FZ "On international treaties of the Russian Federation" " international treaty Of the Russian Federation "means international agreement concluded by the Russian Federation with foreign country(or states) or with an international organization in writing and governed by international law, regardless of whether such an agreement is contained in one document or in several related documents, as well as regardless of its specific name.

Also, the circumstances, in the event of which it is allowed to transfer agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category, include ensuring the country's defense and state security. According to the Federal Law of May 31, 1996. 61-ФЗ (as amended on December 4, 2006) "On Defense", defense means a system of political, economic, military, social, legal and other measures to prepare for armed defense and armed defense of the Russian Federation, the integrity and inviolability of its territory ...

According to the Law of the Russian Federation of March 5, 1992. 2446-1 (as amended on July 25, 2006) "On security" security is understood as the state of protection of the vital interests of the individual, society and the state from internal and external threats. Vital interests are understood as a set of needs, the satisfaction of which reliably ensures the existence and opportunities for the progressive development of the individual, society and the state.

Federal Law of July 21, 2005 111-ФЗ "On amendments to Land Code Of the Russian Federation, the Forest Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law "On the Transfer of Lands or Land Plots from One Category to Another" and the Federal Law "On the Enactment of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation" supplemented clause 1 of article 7 of the commented Law sub.8, from which it follows that the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category is allowed in connection with the extraction of minerals in the presence of an approved land reclamation project (for the land reclamation project, see the commentary to paragraph 2 of article 9 of the commented Law).

At the same time, minerals are recognized as products of the mining industry and quarry development, contained in actually mined (extracted) from the bowels (waste, losses) mineral raw materials (rock, liquid and other mixture), corresponding in quality state standard Of the Russian Federation, industry standard, regional standard, international standard, and in the absence of specified standards for a particular extracted mineral, the organization (enterprise) standard.

Mineral resources are also recognized as products resulting from the development of a deposit, obtained from mineral raw materials using processing technologies, which are special types of mining operations (in particular, underground gasification and leaching, dredging and hydraulic development of alluvial deposits, well hydro production), as well as processing technologies, classified in accordance with the license for the use of subsoil to special types of mining operations (in particular, the extraction of minerals from overburden rocks or tailings, collection of oil from oil spills using special installations) (see Article 337, part two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (as amended . and add.)).

Federal Law of July 21, 2005 111-FZ "On Amendments to the Land Code of the Russian Federation, the Forest Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law" On the Transfer of Land or Land Plots from One Category to Another "and the Federal Law" On the Enactment of the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation " 1 of article 7 of the commented Law, clause 9, from which it follows that the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category is allowed in connection with the placement of social, communal and household facilities, healthcare facilities, education in the absence of other options for the placement of these objects.

The original version of sub-clause 7, clause 1, article 7 of the commented Law contained the following legal rule: the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such lands from agricultural land to another category was allowed in the event of the fulfillment of international obligations of the Russian Federation, ensuring the country's defense and state security, mining (with the exception of widespread minerals), maintaining cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation, construction of cultural, social, educational facilities, roads and other linear facilities in the absence of other options for the location of these facilities.

Thus, it can be concluded that the legislator in new edition The Law decided to differentiate subparagraph 7 of clause 1 of article 7 of the commented Law, and not only to exclude some cases in which earlier the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category was allowed, for example, the maintenance of cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation.

In accordance with the Federal Law of June 25, 2002 No. N 73-FZ (as amended on December 29, 2006) "On cultural heritage objects (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation" works of painting, sculpture, arts and crafts, objects of science and technology and other items of material culture, arising from historical events, which are valuable in terms of history, archeology, architecture, urban planning, art, science and technology, aesthetics, ethnology or anthropology, social culture and being evidence of eras and civilizations, true sources of information about the origin and development of culture.

Clause 2 of the commented article (as amended by the Federal Law of July 21, 2005 N 111-FZ) established a ban on the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to land of other categories, the cadastral value of which is fifty or more percent exceeds the average level of cadastral value for the municipal district (urban district).

It is also not allowed to transfer especially valuable productive agricultural land, including agricultural land of experimental production subdivisions of research organizations and educational and experimental subdivisions of educational institutions of higher professional education, agricultural land, the cadastral value of which significantly exceeds the average level of cadastral value in the municipal district ( urban district) (see clause 4 of article 79 of the RF Labor Code).

However, the legislator, in paragraph 2 of the commented article, established a number of cases allowing such a translation:

1) the establishment or change of the features of settlements;

2) construction of roads, power transmission lines, communication lines (including linear cable structures), oil pipelines, gas pipelines and other pipelines, railway lines and other similar structures (hereinafter referred to as linear facilities) in the presence of a project for the reclamation of a part of agricultural land approved in the prescribed manner provided for the period of construction of linear facilities;

3) fulfillment of the international obligations of the Russian Federation, ensuring the country's defense and state security in the absence of other options for the location of the relevant facilities;

4) extraction of minerals in the presence of an approved land reclamation project (see subparagraphs 3, 6, 7 and 8 of clause 1 of article 7 of the commented Law).

In the initial version of the commented Law, the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land from agricultural land to another category was not allowed if the cadastral value of agricultural land or land plots included in such land was 30 percent or more higher than the cadastral value of the average district level. This version of the Law softened the prohibition on the transfer of agricultural land or land plots within such land to another category by establishing the possibility of transferring such land or land plots if the cadastral value is 50 percent or more higher than the average level of the cadastral value of agricultural land or land plots as part of such land in the municipal district (urban district).

It was also forbidden in the original version of the commented Law to transfer lands of especially valuable productive agricultural land, including agricultural land of experimental production units of research organizations and educational and experimental units of educational institutions of higher professional education, as well as agricultural land, the cadastral value of which significantly exceeds the average regional level with no exceptions to this.

Land allocated for agriculture is increasingly coming under the attention of those who wish to acquire a country house. Moreover, their cost is cheaper than within the boundaries of the settlement. But for the use of agricultural land for a different purpose, they must first be transferred to another category in accordance with all the rules Russian legislation.

Transfer to another category is regulated by the RF LC, the RF Urban Planning Code, federal and local legislative acts... The procedure is carried out only if there are grounds for doing so, provided by law, competently executed documents for the land plot and a correctly drawn up application, which must be sent to the executive authorities.

Transfer of agricultural land to another category

In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, such lands include plots that are outside the boundaries of a settlement and are intended for the needs of agriculture. Their owners can be both individuals and legal entities, as well as municipalities and the state itself. The change in the status of allotments is governed by Art. 7 of the Federal Law of December 21, 2004 No. 172-FZ. A similar procedure can be carried out in the case of:

  • changes in the features of a nearby settlement;
  • creation of a specially protected natural area;
  • forced placement of an industrial facility on agricultural land;
  • allotment conservation;
  • construction of a power line, road or mining in the case where there is an approved project for the reclamation of an agricultural site;
  • forced placement of objects of communal and household type.
If an agricultural land is classified as a particularly productive and valuable land, or its cadastral value is 50% higher than the average for municipality, it will be simply impossible to transfer it to another category.

Before proceeding with the procedure, you should clarify the purpose of the intended farmland.

The decision to transfer the allotment to another category is made by a local government body or an executive body of state power. They are the ones who consider the applications that must be submitted by the owners of the plots. Moreover, even before the start of such a procedure, the agricultural land must be registered in the United state register rights and put on the cadastral register, which in itself is a lengthy and expensive procedure. That is why it is more profitable for the owner to purchase a land plot with a title category, rather than later draw up the necessary papers on his own.

In addition to a well-written application, which must indicate the reasons and grounds for the transfer, the following documents will also be needed:

  • proof of identity of the owner of the site;
  • an extract from the state land cadastre and the register of rights to real estate;
  • the owner's consent to the transfer of land from an agricultural category to another;
  • the conclusion of the state ecological expertise, if necessary.

The term for consideration of the submitted application is 2 months if it is considered by the executive authorities and 3 months if it was submitted to the Government of the Russian Federation. After the decision is made, an act is drawn up on the transfer of agricultural land to another category or refusal to satisfy the submitted application. The last decision may be adopted due to existing restrictions in the legislation, lack of grounds, inconsistency of the required target designation with territorial planning, or a negative conclusion of the environmental impact assessment. In any case, the act of considering the case must be sent to the person concerned within two weeks from the date of its issuance.

Note!

Challenge the decision executive body it is possible in court within three months from the date of receipt of the act of refusal to transfer, however, it will be very difficult to do this without the help of a qualified lawyer with extensive experience in such cases.

Conversion of agricultural land into the category for individual residential construction

Most often, they try to transfer agricultural land to a different category for the construction of residential buildings on them. Such a transfer, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation, can be carried out only if the site is assigned the category of land of the settlement, for which, again, there must be grounds. These can be the location of the land near the border of the settlement according to the general plan, as well as planning a reserve for the development of the territory of the settlement and changing the purpose of agricultural zones for the future. Otherwise, it will be almost impossible and unprofitable to transfer the allotment to a different form in order to obtain permission to build construction on it.

This is explained by the fact that agricultural land has the most expensive cadastral value, therefore, when transferred to another category, the state will lose the income planned from this land. Even with a proven need for the transfer, the owner will have to compensate the losses to the state.

To transfer a site to a category that allows housing, you need a standard package of documents.

You will need an application of the established form, an extract from the cadastre, a copy of the applicant's passport, a written consent to the change and a document confirming the right to a land plot.

In the application, you must indicate the name, surname, patronymic and place of residence natural person or the name and location of the legal entity, location, area and cadastral number of the site, the transfer of which must be carried out, the category of land that must be assigned and the rationale for this, the details of the title documents for the allotment.

A representative of the interested person can submit an application. The act confirming the transfer of agricultural land must indicate the grounds for carrying out such a procedure, the cadastral number of the plot, its boundaries and area, as well as the type of land plot after the transfer.

Note!

The cost of transferring agricultural land to another category will depend on the cadastral value of the site, its size, preparation necessary documentation and the project of the house, as well as the need to organize an environmental impact assessment.

In practice, they often resort not to changing the purpose of agricultural land if one wants to build a residential building on them, but to legalizing the use of an agricultural plot for housing construction. But a similar procedure can be carried out if the agricultural land is a suburban allotment or a plot for gardening.

It is possible to transfer agricultural allotments to a different type only if there are grounds for that, listed in Law No. 172-FZ, as well as required package documents.

It is important to note that the authorities considering the issue have the right to refuse the interested person even if the application is incorrectly drawn up. That is why it is better to entrust the procedure for the transfer of an agricultural plot to a law firm that has extensive experience in such cases and can solve all legal delays.
