Land rezoning
On December 21, 2004 Federal Law No. 172-ФЗ “On land rezoning” (hereinafter referred to as Law 172-Ф3) was adopted. This Law regulates how and in which terms the land plots may be rezoned. For example, the agricultural lands, which are cheaper at the price than the lands within the limits of the populated locality, may be rezoned into the settlement land plots for building of the country houses or other facilities.
Limited Liability Company “Legal Corporation “Odissey” performs assistance in rezoning of land plots on the territory of Tver and Tver region.
The most popular is rezoning of agricultural lands. All cases in which it is admissible under the legislation to rezone the agricultural land as another one, are listed in article 1 of Law No. 172-ФЗ. This includes the cases of:
- Establishment and change of the settlement lands’ boundaries;
- Building of the industrial facilities on barren lands;
- Construction of roads, electric power and telecommunication lines, railroads and other similar constructions, if the cadastral value of agricultural lands is more than by 30% less than the cadastral value of the average regional level and transportation, communications and utilities lines are located along the roads and boundaries of the crop rotation fields;
- Construction of the amenities, social and educational facilities, roads and transportation, communications and utilities lines, if it is impossible to locate them at another place;
In this case it is clearly stated in the legislation which agricultural lands can’t be rezoned. These are lands, which cadastral value exceeds the average regional level and the most efficient and fruitful agricultural lands (clause 2, article 7 of No. 172-ФЗ).
