Features of the government services website related to real estate
On the website “Electronic government. Government services" gosuslugi . ru you can submit documents for several services related to real estate.
Where to begin
First of all, indicate your location (city and region). After that, type in the search bar the phrase: “Purchase of real estate, property.” A flag fluttering in the wind means that the necessary information has not yet been loaded. When a list of services appears on the screen, select the ones you need. You can act differently: immediately go to the “Authorities” section and from there go to the “Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography” page.
1. Obtain an extract from the State Register
So, what can a government services website offer? For example, obtain an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It - for example, with information about the persons who received information about the property to which you have rights. On the page of the Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography you will find a list of required documents. Once you have collected your documents, you can submit them in several ways: in person, by mail, through an authorized representative, IFC, or through this website. The cost and terms of service provision are also indicated here.
You need to appear in person once - in order to receive documents.
If you require information from the Unified State Register of Limited Access, copies of contracts or any other transaction documents, then the “Government Services” section will also help you.
2. Register the land
Use the website to submit documents for registration of a land plot with the state cadastral register. You can also request an extract about the property, a passport for it, a site plan, etc. The procedure is the same: study the list of documents, methods of sending a request and receiving a response, deadlines, cost of services. Be prepared for the fact that you may be denied service. The grounds for refusal are listed in a special section on the page of each service.
3. Register the transaction and ownership
Through the government services website, you can submit an application to register ownership of an apartment or house. On the portal you can also register a housing lease agreement, a mortgage agreement, an agreement for participation in shared construction and more than 50 types of transactions. In addition, here you can submit documents for permanent registration at your place of residence.
4. Pay for housing and communal services
Here you can pay utility bills, electricity and gas. If you are in a hurry, open your “Personal Account” and enter the “Accruals” section, then go to the “Payment for Services” tab. Select the region and service provider (this information is indicated on the receipt), enter the payer code (account number) and make payment. If you plan to pay bills on the website regularly and receive information about new charges, link account numbers (payer codes) in the “Personal Account”, in the “Personal Accounts” tab of the “Accruals” section. This way you won’t have to enter additional details every time.
5. Submit a tax return and receive a deduction
You can also submit a tax return and an application for a tax deduction through the government services portal. However, in practice, after you fill out a long form on the website and come to the tax office, you will have to do the same on paper. So the site is not very convenient for this purpose.
