What does it take to assign a mailing address to a house?

Concerning the assignment or changes to addresses is regulated by Government Decree No. 1221 of the Federal Republic of the Russian Federation dated November 19, 2014. According to the contents of the document, the address assigned to an object must meet the following requirements:

Uniqueness: there cannot be two identical addresses for different capital objects. Exceptions are permissible only when re-assigning an address and in the case of assigning identical addresses to a land plot and a building erected on it;
Commitment. At the legislative level, it is established that every addressing object must have an address;
Legitimacy: the need to comply with the procedure for assigning an address and entering it into the state register.

The address can be assigned to a plot of land, a private or apartment building.

A prerequisite for securing an address is the presence of a permit for the construction of a real estate property. Moreover, the erected building must be located strictly within the boundaries of the site referred to in the permit.

The new address is assigned:

Newly erected building;
Renovated house;
The shared part of the house formed after the division.

Typically, to assign an address to a private residential building, you will need a corresponding application and a package of documents to accompany it:

Identity document of the owner or his representative;
If a representative acts in the interests of the legal owner of the property, a power of attorney is required;
Permission to put the building into operation;
If the house is registered in the cadastral register, the cadastral passport of the house;
Title and title documents for the building.

It is not necessary to provide the documents specified in the last three paragraphs.

During the work process, the information contained in them will be able to be clarified independently.

If we are talking about an apartment building, a postal address will be assigned to it upon completion of all work on the construction site. Then, when the facility is completed and put into operation. It is the developer’s task to complete and receive all documents related to the assignment of an address and submit them to Rosreestr. At the time of registration of ownership rights by shareholders for apartments, the address will already be assigned.

Which government agency is dealing with this issue?

Employees of the urban planning department of the city administration are responsible for assigning a postal address to a land plot, apartment building or private house.
There is no state duty for the provision of services. Based on the results of consideration of the package of documents for assigning a postal address to the applicant:

To an individual;
Entrepreneur;
The legal entity is issued a corresponding resolution.

Without this document, the residential building will not be able to obtain an address.

If the property owner is refused to provide a service, this fact must be documented.

Cadastral address

The cadastral address of a land plot refers to its cadastral number, since this number is assigned only after the existing postal address of the plot has been clarified.

This merger of terms is due to the fact that the cadastral address of the plot will not appear anywhere except on the public cadastral map of Rosreestr.
This is due to the complexity of its formation - when preparing this type of address information, not only the established postal address of the site is taken into account, but also its coordinates on the cadastral map.
At the same time, the cadastral address must correspond both to the specified postal address of the site (established relative to the addresses of adjacent sites), but also to the coordinates of the site generated during the cadastral assessment in relation to the established division of the public cadastral map.

How long does it take to assign a postal address to a house?

At the legislative level, a deadline has been established for consideration of a citizen’s appeal on the issue of assigning an address to a house. The decision must be made within 18 working days.

Consideration of documents may be suspended if the applicant does not provide the originals within 7 days after registration of the application. This situation arises when sending a package of documents by email or through the State Services portal. The suspension period is 10 working days.

Addresses for objects are assigned by a specially created commission. The result of her work can be either a positive decision or a justified refusal.

The postal address is provided by the name of the street on which the front part of the residential building faces. For this reason, for example, it is so important to have assigned street names in newly created suburban settlements.

The owner can register the assignment of an address to a house either independently or with the help of an authorized representative. This fact will not affect the duration of registration in any way.

There is such a procedure as cancellation of a postal address. It is carried out in two cases:

The addressing object has ceased to exist;
A new address has been assigned to the house.

Algorithm of actions

Depending on the circumstances, the registration procedure may vary slightly. Let's consider three scenarios.

So, in order for a private residential building to be assigned a postal address, the owner must complete the following steps:

If the ownership of the house is registered

Contact the administration with a completed application and documents,

confirming the right to residential real estate and the land plot on which it is located;
After three weeks, receive a resolution to assign a postal address; With this resolution, go to the BTI, register the property and receive a cadastral passport;
With the decree and cadastral passport, contact Rosreestr to enter registration data.

If the ownership of the house is not registered

Visit the local administration with an application and documents confirming the right to a land plot, provide permission to build a house;
Obtain a resolution to assign an address;
Submit a resolution to the BTI, register residential property and receive a cadastral extract for the land plot and a cadastral passport for the house;
With the decree, cadastral extract for the land plot, cadastral passport for the residential building and permission for its construction, contact Rosreestr to enter registration data.

After the expiration of the period established by law, the property owner will be able to receive a document confirming the assignment of a postal address to the house.

Cancellation of an old address and assignment of a new one when dividing a house

The procedure is the same as above. In addition to the listed documents, a court decision on the division of the house will be required.

From the moment the address is assigned, the owner of the property has the opportunity to:

Apply for registration;
Gasify the house.

If we are talking about a residential apartment building, the construction of which is carried out by the developer, then the postal address will be assigned to it after the object is put into operation.
After the house is accepted by the commission, the developer’s representative in the city administration is issued a corresponding document.

When assigning an address to a multi-apartment residential building, addresses are automatically assigned to all apartments located in it.

Only after this can residential premises be transferred to construction participants (shareholders).

Legal practice

In relation to a residential building, it is quite easy to obtain an address - the procedure is simple and does not raise any special questions. In some cases, non-standard situations still arise.

Cancellation

The owner can not only obtain, but also cancel the postal address on the following grounds:

the object is destroyed (for example, completely burned down or demolished),
the object is not registered in the cadastral register,
got a new address.

Cancellation due to the physical destruction of an object is possible only after its removal from the cadastral register. At the same time, the numbers of all premises in the destroyed building are cancelled.

Cancellation of a previous address is impossible without assigning a new one.

SNT

Horticultural non-profit partnerships are associations of citizens for the purpose of gardening and resolving issues related to the implementation of this task. Currently, houses in SNT are used less and less often as dachas and much more often for permanent residence.

In a house located in SNT, you can also register for registration. To do this, you need to register the assignment of an address to the house. A property owner can obtain a postal address in SNT according to the same rules as for an ordinary house: there is no difference.

It is enough to prepare the package of documents described above and submit it to the administration of the municipality in which the partnership is located.

Same addresses

When constructing new buildings in an already built-up area, it happens that the address assigned to the object is given to another. As a result, confusion arises, especially if one of the objects is a private residential building.

This issue can only be resolved in the architecture department of the administration. The owner should make an appointment and bring with him all documents related to his property.

Two houses on one plot

You cannot get 2 different addresses for one site. But it is possible to delimit the area, as a result of which two new objects will appear. After receiving cadastral passports and new addresses for them. Accordingly, if you change an already registered property, you should update the data in the register of rights to real estate through Rosreestr: not only the number will change, perhaps also the street on which the plot is located and its area.

Thus, in an apartment building, a separate postal address will be assigned only after it is put into operation. The developer is addressing this issue.

For individual properties, everything is simpler - a private residential building can be assigned a postal address during the construction stage. To do this, you just need to obtain a building permit and take it to the architecture department.

The list of documents is exhaustive and the administration has no right to demand other documents not listed in the list. Moreover, individual documents are requested through interaction channels, so asking officials to provide them is also prohibited.
