Unforeseen Shock for Dacha Land and Home Owners: Changes Effective from May 1

Unforeseen Shock for Dacha Land and Home Owners: Changes Effective from May 1

Prepare to Change Your Game, Private Home Owners! New Regulations Coming Your Way in 2025!

Brace yourselves, folks! If you're a proud owner of a private house or dacha, you better buckle up, because a wave of new regulations is about to wash over you starting 2025. Let's take a closer look at what's on the horizon. Buckle up for a ride full of fire safety, property regulations, and some land management, shall we?

Fire Safety Regulations

From September 1, 2025, you'll have to bid adieu to the good old open-fire BBQs on your private property within settlements. Yep, that's right – no more late-night s'mores or backyard bonfires. But don't worry, dear reader, there's still a glimmer of hope! Designated areas for open fires are still a thing, so at least you've got that going for you, which is nice. In case you're wondering, open fires are currently banned without exception, and violators are already facing fines – just a sneak peek of things to come.

Building Registration on Plots

Mark your calendars for March 2025, because starting then, your property on a personal plot will officially be considered completed only after it is registered in the Cadastre. A technical plan will suffice for this.

Sale and Gift of Land Plots

Here's where it gets a little tricky. New transactions involving the sale or gift of land plots will now require boundary determination, i.e., 'measuring'. Sounds like a lot of work, right? Well, buckle up and start measuring, because transactions will only be registered if clear boundaries are recorded in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN).

Land Ownership Rights

Listen up, because this is an important one! If your house owner's plot isn't officially registered by 2025, you better get your act together. If you don't purchase the land or sign a lease agreement, your plot might be subject to compulsory registration – or even confiscation. So, better act fast, and don't ignore this one!

Fines for Non-Use of Plots

And here's the kicker – if you're not using your beloved dacha or garden plot for individual housing construction, you might be hit with some fines! This applies when structures on the plot are not used for five years or more, are dilapidated, or damaged. And if you think the fines are the worst of it, think again. Administrative penalties and even plot confiscation by court decision are a real possibility for such violations!

So, there you have it, folks! New rules are on the horizon, and it's time to buckle up and stay ahead of the game! If you're interested in general trends and existing concerns in the field, feel free to check out the enrichment data section for more info.

The Unified State System for Preventing Emergencies and Providing Relief maintains control over regions prone to wildfires.
• Property Registration and Land Plot Management: Infrastructure development, including utilities and housing, is a priority, with significant funds being allocated for such projects. Discussions are ongoing about increasing housing by focusing on land plot allocation and creating mechanisms for investing in housing construction.
• Beginning in 2025, private homeowners must prepare for a host of new regulations in the real-estate industry, including stricter fire safety standards that will ban open-fire BBQs within settlements.
• Starting March 2025, properties on personal plots will only be considered completed after registration in the Cadastre, necessitating the submission of a technical plan.
• New transactions involving the sale or gift of land plots, effective from 2025, require boundary determination and clear recording of boundaries in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN) for registration.
• Neglecting to register a house owner's plot or failing to purchase the land or sign a lease agreement could result in compulsory registration or even confiscation of the plot by 2025.
