Agricultural land for gardening

Is it possible to build a house on agricultural land?

Relatives have a large plot of land, which they only partially use. When my husband and I decided to build a country house, they suggested that we divide this land so that we could build on our own part of the plot. At first I was happy, but when we started looking at the documents, it turned out that this was agricultural land, with a permitted type of activity - gardening and horticulture. Now we are at a loss... Is it possible to build a house on agricultural land? Do I need to draw up any special documents for this? And if not, is it possible to change something?

Agricultural land for gardening

The category of agricultural land usually includes territories located outside rural or urban settlements. The main purpose of such plots is the cultivation of agricultural crops, as well as meeting agricultural needs.

The state determines several key types of permitted use of land plots. This information is presented in the Land Code of the Russian Federation; the territory of agricultural production must be used within the framework of the target principle - this is mandatory. Horticultural plots are classified as the most popular types of land properties that are used.

You can purchase land not only for legal entities, but also for individuals. If desired, each owner can purchase land from the state after it has been leased.

Types of permitted use of land for gardening:

• You can grow nursery products, ornamental varieties of crops and vegetables;
• Cultivate mycelia (mushrooms) for further processing of the crop;
• Grow shrubs and fruit trees;
• Plant and care for walnut trees;
• Plant vineyards, berry and fruit-bearing bushes;
• Grow seeds to further increase the maximum yield of gardens;
• Grow fruits to later produce drinks;
• Arrange areas with spices.

It is allowed to use land plots for the purposes of gardening and vegetable gardening, with one condition - compliance with the target principle of exploitation of state lands. After the land is leased, a citizen can acquire ownership rights and become the full owner of the territory.

CONSTRUCTION OF A RESIDENTIAL HOUSE ON AGRICULTURAL LAND

Many potential buyers of land plots allocated for dacha farming (construction) are put off by the fact that these lands belong to the category of agricultural land and, in this regard, supposedly fall under some kind of special control. The answer to these doubts is given by Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Federal Law “On the turnover of agricultural lands”, which states: “the effect of this law does not apply to land plots provided from agricultural lands to citizens for individual housing, garage construction, personal subsidiary and dacha construction farming, horticulture, livestock farming and gardening, as well as land plots occupied by buildings, structures, and structures. The turnover of these land plots is regulated by the Land Code of the Russian Federation.”

What can be done in such areas?

On a private plot of land located within the boundaries of a settlement, a citizen can:

1. Build housing and service buildings, if there is permission to do so. In this case, generally accepted standards must be observed: sanitary and hygienic, fire safety, construction.
2. Can grow agricultural crops.
3. Raise livestock and poultry.
4. Set up an apiary.

In a residential building built on a site, it is possible to register at the place of residence and receive a property tax benefit.

In order to be able to receive subsidies from the state, private household plots are registered with local autonomous authorities. There they will keep a household register for him. To register you must provide the following documents:

• identification document of the owner;
• passports of all family members who have them;
• permits for running private household plots.

According to the citizen, the following data is entered into the household ledger:

• about family members living together;
• about the area of ​​the site;
• about the number of livestock and poultry;
• number of hives;
• availability and number of agricultural machinery and vehicles.

This is done at the time of registration. In the future, this is done annually, when visiting farms by a commission composed of members of the local autonomy, as of July 1. On other dates, the walk-through may be initiated by members of the private household plot.

Basic Rules

1. It is prohibited to carry out construction work in areas allocated for personal subsidiary farming.
2. At your summer cottage you can simply relax or grow fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables. You can also build a residential building here, but you will not be able to register in it. In order for registration to be possible, the dacha must be transferred to housing stock.
3. Land allocated for farming can be occupied by one owner or several, if the land is registered as shared ownership.
4. On lands for livestock farming, you can graze livestock and prepare feed for them. It is also allowed to build premises to house animals.

Before purchasing a plot, you should carefully check what types of activities it is intended for and what activities are prohibited on it. Land in the agricultural category differs in its types of permitted use; not always a plot from this category can be used for growing grain or for building an elevator.

What VRIs exist for agricultural land plots?

Despite its name, agricultural land has a wide range of opportunities for its owners.

The permitted use of agricultural land is determined by the VRI ZU Classifier and allows citizens and organizations to fully realize their business and agricultural ideas and eco-fantasies.

Thanks to the VRI classifier, namely the fact that it covers all kinds of activities that can be carried out on agricultural lands, the following types of activities can be carried out :

1. implementation of agricultural activities by enterprises;
2. creation of personal or farm enterprises;
3. growing vegetable and fruit crops;
4. creation of dacha, horticultural or gardening partnerships;
5. growing and breeding animals, insects and fish;
6. research activities, etc.

All agricultural lands according to the types of permitted use can be divided into two categories .

These are lands on which:

• Residential construction is allowed (Codes according to the VRI Classifier 1.16, 13.1-13.3.);
• It is prohibited to build residential buildings, but the construction of permanent buildings is allowed with the obligatory receipt of a construction permit and non-capital ones without obtaining it (codes according to the VRI Classifier 1.0-1.15, 1.17, 1.18).

The most popular types of permitted use of agricultural land for private construction are:

• “Gardening” (code 13.2),
• “Maintaining a dacha farm” (code 13.3).

“ Gardening ” – lands most often included in horticultural communities. Allows owners to grow:

• vegetables,
• fruits,
• melons,

build:

• seasonal and residential garden houses,
• auxiliary buildings.

Registration in such housing is prohibited, but “On Gardening and Vegetable Farming” on January 1, 2021, Also, with the entry into force of this law, all dacha lands will become horticultural.

“ Maintaining a dacha farm ” - the land plot can be used for the same purposes as in the previous paragraph. A significant difference is the possibility of registration only by court decision after the permanent building is recognized as residential and meets all sanitary requirements and safety standards.

Dacha and garden plots may belong to the category of land in populated areas. There are several ways to find out which category your land plot belongs to, the simplest is by cadastral number. Read about which category of land is more suitable for construction in this article.

Despite the fact that the new VRI ZU Classifier came into force back in 2015,

not all landowners brought their land title documents into compliance

.

If your cadastral passport contains VRI from the old land classifier, which currently no longer exists, do not be upset.

Such a document is valid, and the types of permitted use specified in it can be applied.

If you wish, you can change the VRI to a new one by checking with the local administration about the planning of the given territory .
