Certificate of inventory value of an apartment from the BTI: where to get it, validity and expiration date

What is a BTI plan? A BTI floor plan is a drawing of an apartment or non-residential premises, made according to the measurements of a technician from the Bureau of Technical Inventory. He notes the configuration of partitions, doors, windows, some dimensions, as well as the location of plumbing fixtures.

BTI plan - example

We will consider this definition in more detail in paragraph 1 of this article. In this article we will also look in detail at all the nuances relating to the floor plan and explication for an apartment or non-residential premises. We will give examples of these documents and answer the questions “How to get a BTI plan for an apartment or non-residential premises?” and “Where can I get a floor plan and BTI explication?”

Introductory word.

When a building is put into operation, it is necessary to carry out an inventory, that is, measurements. Several organizations have the right to carry them out, however, basically, this is done either by the Bureau of Technical Inventory or Rostekhinventarizatsiya. As a result of the measurements, an inventory plan-drawing of the premises is carried out. Thus, the size and area of the constructed property are legally fixed.

In other words, the BTI floor plan of an apartment or non-residential premises is a drawing of the premises, made according to the measurements of specialists from the Bureau of Technical Inventory. It is also often abbreviated as the “BTI plan”. In practice, a BTI plan is called any inventory plan, even if the measurements themselves were carried out by another organization, because the vast majority of objects were still inventoried by the BTI (Bureau of Technical Inventory). An explanation is always attached to the floor plan of an apartment or non-residential building.

Explication - what kind of document is this?

Explication is a list of all premises of an object indicating their areas. The purpose of the room is also indicated - main or auxiliary.

It should also be noted that the actual area of loggias in the explication is multiplied by a reduction factor of 0.5, and the area of balconies by 0.3.

Below we give an example of an explication.

Let us note that to legitimize the redevelopment of an apartment, a technical passport of the apartment is required, and not just a floor plan and explication, which are included in its composition. When agreeing on the redevelopment of non-residential premises, a BTI plan and explication along with an extract from the technical passport for the building and a certificate of the condition of the premises are sufficient.

Let's see what the BTI plan looks like.

What is a BTI plan?

BTI plan is a document in which you can find a diagram of the building, as well as all its main parameters. All characteristics are included in the plan after the object has been measured and all the rooms in the building have been calculated.

This document is needed if you plan to register real estate with Rosreestr or make redevelopment legal. The documents will describe the current state of the premises.

The BTI plan refers to the technical passport of the property and is part of it. On such a plan you can find a schematic image of the building, as well as an explication of the rooms.

What can be seen in the BTI plan:

The entire building diagram.
Partitions with load-bearing function.
Door and window openings.
If there are pantries or built-in cabinets, they are also indicated on the drawing.
The height of the building's ceilings.
The dimensions of each room located in this building.
Ventilation
Loggias and balconies.
Engineering Communication.

BTI stands for Bureau of Technical Inventory. This is an official body that is subordinate to the state. BTI keeps records of real estate that has been put into operation.

2.1. BTI floor plan.

The vast majority of residential and non-residential buildings were inventoried by the BTI (Bureau of Technical Organization), so their documents were most widely used. We only note that on such plans only the main dimensions of the premises are indicated, and not all. Otherwise, bringing all the dimensions of the room into the drawing would make it unreadable. In the archive, in the file of the object, a plan of the premises should be stored with all the dimensions that were measured upon entering the object.

2.1.1. Floor plan and explication of the apartment from the BTI.

This document is made in A4 format and represents the layout of the apartment with the main dimensions and room numbers. At the entrance to the apartment its number is placed. Also, the sheet must be stamped with the stamp of the BTI department that issued the document. The date when the last measurement of the premises was carried out, as well as the date of issue of the document itself, must be indicated. The explanation provides the purpose of each room and its area.

If, at the time the surveyor arrives at the apartment, an unapproved redevelopment has been carried out in it, then he will mark the changes made on the drawing with red lines:

An appropriate mark is also placed on the sheet about the refurbishment of the premises carried out without permission. In the Moscow region, deviations are not highlighted with red lines, but are only marked.

2.1.2. BTI plan for non-residential premises.

This document is drawn up in a similar way to what we described in the previous paragraph. If the documentation is drawn up for the entire non-residential building, then it will consist of several drawings for each floor with a separate explication of the premises. If the room is large, then the drawings can be drawn up even on A0 sheets.

Commentary on the video: Now you don’t need to fill out an application: just tell the operator who accepts documents at the MFC or TBTI whether you need a technician to take measurements or not. From the summer of 2017 to the present (2021), a BTI plan can be ordered without a technician taking measurements only if the last such measurements were carried out no more than 5 years ago. In this case, you can request an archival copy of the BTI plan and an explication. You can do this online here. You must register, select “Submit an application online” and fill out all the data in the same way as the application. Also, through the BTI website, you can order a BTI plan in electronic form, current at the time of the last examination, without explication and stamps.

When do you need a plan from the BTI?

A BTI plan for a house, apartment or any other building is useful in the following cases:

If any legal transactions are planned with this property.
If the building requires registration of ownership.
If a mortgage agreement is issued for this property.
When legalizing redevelopment or major repairs.
If the area in this building is privatized.

It is not only government workers who are involved in preparing this plan. You can order such a plan from our company. We will collect all the necessary documents for you and carry out absolutely all the work. You do not have to collect documents, certificates, or visit various government agencies. Our specialists will handle all this. We are engaged in the production of any technical documentation.

2.2. Inventory plan from Rostekhinventarizatsiya.

Despite the fact that this organization has existed for quite a long time, developers began to contact it more or less regularly only in the 2000s. In general, Rostekhinventarizatsiya (abbreviated as Rostec) is famous for being less conservatist than BTI: it is easier to understand various borderline situations, and it is also much easier to correct errors made during measurements.

It should be noted that the Housing Inspectorate has stopped accepting technical passports, inventory plans and explications from Rostekhinventarizatsiya unless they have inventoried the entire house. Only documents from the BTI are accepted.

2.2.1. Floor plan of the apartment from Rostec.

Externally, this document is drawn up almost the same as in the BTI. The plan must be stamped with the organization's seal and the date of issue of the document must be indicated. In case of illegal redevelopment, a mark indicating its presence is also made.

2.2.2. Floor plan of a building from Rostec (non-residential premises).

Documents for non-residential premises are prepared in a similar way. Outwardly, it is even very difficult to distinguish them from documents executed by the BTI - only by the executor’s mark in the stamp.

Types of plans produced in BTI

Radastral engineers produce a wide variety of types of documents. Everything will depend on what you need. Let's consider the main types of BTI plans:

Apartment plan. This document is prepared in a situation where the living space is privatized, when it is sold or bought, and if redevelopment is carried out that needs to be legalized. On this diagram you can see the entire apartment, as well as records of the dimensions of each room located in it. In addition, in the document you can see information about where the staircases, elevators, and ventilation shafts are located.
Plan for a plot of land. This document is drawn up if it is necessary to enter data on property rights in Rosreestr, as well as obtain permission to subsequently build buildings on this site. In this document you can see drawings as well as a plan. In addition, there is text information and a conclusion that the engineer must provide.
House plan. A technical plan of the property is necessary to register a private house in the cadastral register or register ownership of it. This document can only be prepared by a cadastral engineer who has a work permit. The plan contains graphic and text parts. From the document you will learn about the parameters of the object and the area on which it is located.
Plan for non-residential premises. This document contains the characteristics of the object, floor plans, and explication. A technical passport of a non-residential property is needed in order to register it with Rosreestr.
Floor plan. This document contains a floor plan. Each floor can have living space. The plan must indicate all rooms located on the floor. Each room must have its own individual number, information about its size, as well as the purpose of such a room. The document must contain the data of the cadastral engineer, as well as the stamp and date when measurements of the building were taken.

If discrepancies with previous measurements are suddenly identified, this will be marked in the plan with red lines. Such lines will mean that the room has been redesigned, and this redevelopment has not been formalized.

Where can I get the BTI plan and explication?

In general, you can order a BTI plan and explication directly at any branch of the Bureau of Technical Inventory or MFC, providing a passport and a document certifying ownership of the object (certificate of ownership or an extract from the Unified State Register). If you do not provide them, then the BTI itself will order data from the Unified State Register, but this will take time. You can also order the BTI plan and explication in electronic form through your personal account on the website mos.ru.

Now let's look at this issue in more detail. Not all houses were inventoried by the BTI. To order BTI, you first need to find out which organization carried out the measurements of your building. This is where you need to order documents. If your apartment or non-residential premises is located in a residential building that was built a long time ago (before 2000), then the measurements were carried out by the BTI. If an apartment or non-residential premises is located in a building of a later year of construction, then measurements could be carried out both in Rostekhinventarizatsiya and in BTI. Although, most often, developers still turned to BTI. If your entire building is non-residential, any year of construction, then measurements could be carried out by either of these two organizations (but in BTI much more often).

In any case, you can always call BTI or Rostec directly (we will provide contact details below) and find out which of them has inventoried your property. If your property is located in a new building, then it is easiest to take inventory plans from the developer or management company, since they have recently commissioned this property, which, as we have already said, must be inventoried upon commissioning. Also, in some new buildings that were put into operation quite recently, inventory was ordered from individual cadastral engineers. They do not have the right to issue a technical passport for the apartment. In this case, it is necessary to carry out an initial inventory in the BTI based on the architectural and construction plan from the developer. We wrote more about this in the article about coordinating redevelopment in a new building.

What is a technical plan in simple words

What is a technical plan? The technical plan of a non-residential premises or apartment is a document that is the basis for conducting cadastral registration and including information in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. The rules for drawing up and the form of the technical plan are approved by Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 953 (). General requirements for the content and form of the document are also found in Federal Law No. 218-FZ (). This is what a technical plan is as an official document:

a technical plan is drawn up for real estate objects during their formation, creation, commissioning, and when their characteristics change;
drawing up a technical plan is the prerogative of a cadastral engineer (the powers of engineers are confirmed by qualification certificates);
You need to order a technical plan of a room or building to undergo cadastral registration;
in Russia there are uniform requirements for the preparation and form of a technical plan, therefore it is impossible to draw up the document in any form;
To prepare the document, information and documents on the real estate property are studied, surveys, measurements, and coordination are carried out;
The contents of the technical plan include a text description of the object, graphic diagrams and drawings, and a conclusion from a cadastral engineer.

The main document that is used when drawing up a technical plan is Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 953 “On approval of the form of the technical plan and the requirements for its preparation, the composition of the information contained in it...”. This regulatory act contains certain nuances for describing the characteristics of buildings and structures, premises, and unfinished construction projects. If you need to draw up a technical plan, its cost will be determined by a contract agreement with a cadastral engineer.

You need to order a technical plan of a room or building in order to obtain accurate and reliable information about the characteristics of a house, apartment, garage, non-residential building, structure or other object for inclusion in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. This data will be used by Rosreestr specialists when conducting cadastral registration. Using information from the technical plan, an object can be individualized and its main features can be determined.

Expert commentary. If the building includes premises that are an independent piece of real estate, technical plans are also drawn up for them. For example, the technical plan of an apartment building will contain information about all apartments, non-residential premises, and common areas. But for each apartment or non-residential premises that will be registered in the cadastral register, a separate technical plan is also prepared.

This is what building coordination looks like in technical terms. The cadastral engineer determines the coordinates of the buildings and indicates them in the technical plan section.

What is the difference between a technical passport and a technical plan?

The fundamental difference between a technical passport and a technical plan is the binding of geodetic coordinates and construction of turning points of an object (building, structure, structure) on the ground and the location of the apartment within the boundaries of the floor of the building. According to the new regulations that have come into force, from April 1, 2012, the technical plan of real estate includes both a satellite photograph and a description of the object on the land plot, where its coordinates will be indicated. Preparation of a technical plan for a building without coordination is impossible.

3.1. Where can I get the explication and floor plan of the apartment?

Thus, you need to apply for documents to the organization that carried out the initial measurement of the building.

3.1.1. Where can I get a floor plan and BTI explication for an apartment?

If the building in which the apartment is located was measured by the BTI after construction, then the plans can be ordered either directly from the BTI department or from the MFC (Multifunctional Center). All of them operate on an extraterritorial principle, that is, you can order documents at a branch in any district. However, it is best to order a BTI plan directly from the BTI department. This way it will take the least amount of time to make. The documents are still sent there if you ordered a floor plan and an explication of the premises at any branch of the MFC, and the transfer takes additional time. The addresses of the divisions of the Bureau of Technical Inventory, telephone numbers and their operating hours can be found at this link.

3.1.2. Where can I order a floor plan of an apartment and an explication if the measurements were carried out by Rostec?

In this case, you cannot order documents through the MFC. Moreover, if you unknowingly ordered a BTI floor plan from the MFC, and the initial measurement of the building was carried out by Rostekhinventarizatsiya, then the submitted application will be returned back, and you will simply waste time. In this case, you must contact directly the one window of the Rostekhinventarizatsiya office, which is located at the address: Moscow, Gusyatnikov lane, building 11. Office phone number.

Purpose

A copy of the BTI is issued in order to:

Make sure there are no alterations in the room. To do this, the document data from the archive and the actual condition of the apartment are compared.
Agree on the redevelopment in the red lines. If the owner has already received a BTI technical plan with red lines, MosZhilInspektsiya will require you to provide an archival copy at the time of the first inspection of the property.
Find out the original layout and return the property to its original appearance.

A copy of the BTI can be used to coordinate redevelopment along with other technical documents for the apartment.

I have been providing services for legalizing redevelopments in Moscow for a long time and often use archival copies in my work. In my practice, there has not been a single case of refusal to register a redevelopment due to the fact that instead of a technical passport, floor plan and explication, my clients and I submitted a copy of the BTI.

Online calculation of the cost of redevelopment

Archival copies began to be issued in 2021. The emergence of this service was facilitated by the unification of a number of paper archives that dealt with the accounting and inventory of real estate:

How to order an apartment plan from BTI or Rostekhinventarizatsiya?

So, we have identified the organization from which it is necessary to order the floor plan and explication, and we also found out the address of the office to which the documents must be submitted. Now let’s take a closer look at the documents that need to be provided in order to make a BTI plan, as well as the nuances associated with them.

To order a floor plan and explication of apartment premises, both the BTI and Rostec must submit the following documents:

Identity document - passport;
Certificate of state registration of rights or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate (or other title document). If the owner is registered in this apartment, then there is no need to provide ownership documents. If there is no certificate of ownership, then the BTI will themselves order an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate upon an interdepartmental request, but this will take additional time;

The apartment owner or an authorized representative must submit the documents. In the second case, he must have a properly executed notarized power of attorney. If the apartment is owned by several owners, then an application from only one of them is sufficient.

Now let's talk about one very important aspect. A floor plan for an apartment can be issued either with access to the site and new dimensions of the room, or simply as a copy of the old plan stored in the archive (database). You yourself tell the BTI employee who accepts the documents to simply make you a copy of the plan or carry out repeated measurements of the apartment. As we have already said, if there is any redevelopment in the apartment relative to the plan that is in the archives of the BTI or Rostec, the specialist will draw it on the floor plan in red lines and put a stamp on the illegal redevelopment. Thus, you yourself will “light up” your redevelopment, which is absolutely better not to do. Often, the owners themselves do not know that the layout of their apartment was once changed, say, by the previous owner. Therefore, you should always order a floor plan and an explication of the apartment without having specialists take measurements. They will be given to you based on the data that is in the archive. After receiving them, you will be able to independently check the compliance of this plan with the actual layout of the apartment. It only makes sense to call a specialist to measure an apartment when you have agreed on the redevelopment and received the appropriate permission to do so. But we will talk about making changes to the BTI plan later.

When submitting such an application, no one will come to the apartment. You will be given a floor plan for the apartment with the layout that is stored in the BTI archive.

Unfortunately, it should be noted that since the summer of 2017, BTI has still been conducting inventory (measurements) of the facility with a technician visiting it, if the last measurements were made more than 5 years ago. In this case, to avoid going to the site, order an archival extract of the BTI plan and explications through the BTI website, and also order on the BTI website, the link to which we have already given above, an electronic BTI plan of your apartment, current at the time of the last inspection for 250 rubles . True, they provide it without esplication and the necessary stamps.

How to order a plot plan

To prepare a technical plan for a land plot, you must take the following steps:

apply;
applicant's passport;
title documents for the land plot;
notarized power of attorney for the representative (if necessary);
Receipt of payment.

The application must indicate:

information about who the application is addressed to;
information about the applicant;
basic information about the land plot;
a request about what exactly is needed from the employee and what document they need to provide.

Legal documents include:

purchase and sale agreements, etc.;
certificates of inheritance;
court decisions;
decisions (decrees, orders) of rural, town, city, district and regional Councils of People's Deputies on the allocation of land plots.

A certificate of state registration of rights to real estate is not a document of title and is valid only together with the relevant documents: resolutions (decisions, orders) on the allocation of land, contracts, certificates of inheritance, etc.

Land rights can be confirmed:

certificate of ownership of land (in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 19, 1992 No. 177);
certificate of ownership of land (in accordance with the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated October 27, 1993 No. 1767);
a certificate of the right to lifelong inheritable ownership of land (in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 19, 1992 No. 177);
a certificate of the right to unlimited (permanent) use of land (in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 19, 1992 No. 177).

Requirements for title documents.

title documents must contain a description of the real estate property (cadastral number of the land plot, purpose, etc.);
last name, first name, patronymic of the owner;
name of the legal entity (owner legal entity);
type of law established in relation to a given object.

Document quality requirements:

texts must be written legibly;
names of legal entities are indicated without abbreviations;
location of the legal entity;
last name, first name and patronymic of the individual owner (or several owners);
residential addresses of an individual.

Documents must be without erasures, additions, crossed out words or other corrections. The sheets must not be filled in with pencil and must not have serious damage that makes their contents unclear. If the documents are multi-page, then all sheets must be stitched, numbered and sealed.

You can contact the BTI in the following ways:

personal visit;
lawyer's request;
sending in the form of a letter;
online appeal.

Personal visits can usually be made by appointment. The owner or his legal representative will have to go to the BTI personally with a power of attorney. At the request of a lawyer (this service is paid), a representative of a law firm comes to BTI with a power of attorney. When sending a package of documents by mail, it is necessary to send it by a valuable letter with a list of the attachments, preferably with a return notification. An online request can be made through the State Services portal. To do this, you need to register in your personal account on the Gosulug website and you can use all services, including sending applications directly to the BTI.

How to get a BTI plan for an apartment?

After the necessary documents have been submitted to the BTI department, they will issue the corresponding extract:

It is necessary to check the correctness of the address of the object and the list of requested documents. The extract indicates the date the documents were ready, as well as the date the specialist went to the site, if he was ordered. The corresponding statements are issued both at the Multifunctional Centers and at the Rostekhinventarizatsiya office, if you submitted documents from them. Along with the statement, you will receive an invoice for the services provided, which can be paid there through the terminal. Documents are put into operation only after presentation of the corresponding check or receipt for payment made.

Receipt of the floor plan and explication of BTI or Rostec occurs in the same place where you submitted the documents on any day following the date of readiness of the documents indicated in the extract.

Where and how can I get the document

To obtain an archival copy, you need to contact the MFC, the nearest territorial branch of MosGorBTI, or leave a request on the official website of the department. This can be done by both an individual and a legal entity. The document is prepared within 10 days and issued to the applicant in paper or electronic form. To obtain a copy of the BTI, you must provide the following documents:

application or letter of guarantee on company letterhead;
passport;
title documents for the object;
notarized power of attorney from the owner (for the owner’s representative);
receipt for payment of services.

A copy from the archive is issued on a fee basis. Its cost depends on the characteristics of the document received and the area of the room.

How to order a floor plan and explication for a non-residential premises?

These documents should also be ordered from the organization that carried out the initial inventory of the building (see paragraph 3 of the article). In this case, if the owner of the premises is a legal entity, the following documents are submitted:

Passport;
Certificate of state registration of the right or lease agreement (or other title document depending on the type of ownership of the object);
Power of attorney for the person submitting the documents, executed on the organization’s letterhead with its seal;
Letter of guarantee;

The letter of guarantee is filled out on the organization's letterhead with the date and reference number. Certified by the seal of the organization, the signature of an authorized person and the signature of an accountant. The letter of guarantee specifies which documents need to be produced, the number of copies, the address of the facility, the bank details of the company, and also provides obligations to pay for the services provided. If the documents are submitted by the tenant, the letter of guarantee must be certified by the seal of the owner organization.

Just like for apartments, the floor plan and explication of non-residential premises can be ordered with or without calling a measurer to the site. In the first case, the floor plan is obtained from archival information, in the second, based on the results of field measurements at the site. Just like for apartments, we recommend ordering documents for non-residential premises without calling a measurer. If during the measurement process deviations from the layout of the premises, which are presented in the BTI or Rostec archives, are revealed, the specialist will draw them on the plan with red lines and add a note indicating the presence of an uncoordinated redevelopment:

BTI floor plan for non-residential premises in red lines.

Thus, you yourself will “disclose” your illegal redevelopment in official documents. It will be impossible to remove red lines without obtaining appropriate approval. If the non-residential premises are located in a residential building, then you will have to apply for approval to the Housing Inspectorate, which will automatically issue a fine for the presence of red lines. Now for legal entities, according to paragraph 7.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the fine is already 40-50,000 rubles.

The request to complete the floor plan with a specialist visiting the site for measurements is indicated in the letter of guarantee. If it says nothing about examining the premises, then the preparation of documents implies the issuance of information about the layout without taking measurements. Below we provide examples of such letters of guarantee.

An example of a letter of guarantee to TBTI without calling a measurer.

An example of a letter of guarantee to TBTI calling a specialist for measurements.

If the owner of a non-residential premises is an individual, then to order a BTI plan he will need exactly the same documents as for apartments (see paragraph 3 of this article).

After placing an order, the person accepting the documents will issue an invoice, which is paid directly from the bank account of the legal entity ordering the documents. Work on preparing the plan begins only after receipt of payment from the current account. In the case of an individual, the bill can be paid at the terminal.

What documents are needed for BTI orders?

Absolutely any owner of the object or a person who has been entrusted with this work can contact an employee of a geodetic company. To order documents you will need to provide the following documentation:

Passport, as well as a power of attorney if the work is carried out by an authorized person.
Documentation of ownership of the object.
A statement, the type of which is strictly established.
If the application is submitted by an organization, a letter of guarantee is required, which will contain details.

Of course, documents may vary. These will depend on what type of plan you need.

Validity period of the explication and floor plan.

Floor plans and explications of the BTI and Rostekhinventarization do not have an assigned validity period.

However, the validity period of the BTI plan (newness of the document) can be assigned by the organization to which it will be provided. In other words, such an organization may require that the BTI plan be issued no more than six months or a year ago from the date of its provision. For example, most housing inspectors stopped accepting documents with a site inspection more than 5 years ago.

Registration deadlines

Most often, the BTI plan is prepared from 10 days to three months. The time it takes to complete the work will depend on what type of document is being prepared, as well as its purpose. The procedure may take longer for several reasons:

If a specialist needs to visit the site, take measurements repeatedly.
The dimensions of the object on which the work will be carried out.
Property location.
Features that the building may have.

To receive a ready-made technical plan in 5-10 days, you can contact our company. Our cadastral engineers complete the work as quickly as possible. They will be able to prepare any type of plan, carefully observing all legal regulations.

How much does an explication and floor plan cost?

The cost of documents varies greatly depending on the type of object and the organization in which they are performed. We also note that prices may vary significantly in each specific city. The data below is relevant only for Moscow. For the Moscow region, prices are slightly different.

8.1. The cost of the floor plan and explication of the apartment.

So, how much does a BTI plan cost for an apartment? In BTI, the price of producing a plan directly depends on the area of the object, as well as on whether a specialist will visit the object to take measurements. Details about the cost of the BTI plan can be found here.

Prices for preparing a floor plan in Rostekhinventarizatsiya are approximately twice the prices in BTI and are also calculated by area.

Cadastral registration based on technical plan

The main purpose of the technical plan is to determine the boundaries and characteristics of a building or premises. The engineer is required to prepare a technical plan in electronic form, issue it to the customer on disk or send it to Rosreestr. The document is certified by the digital signature of the cadastral engineer. You can order a technical plan in writing if you immediately indicate such a clause in the contract. The technical plan of the premises can be completed without a cadastral or technical passport if a floor plan or new measurements with outlines are available. If you need a technical plan of the building, our experts will calculate the cost of the work.

To undergo cadastral registration, the owner of the created or changed object submits an application to Rosreestr or the MFC. There is no fee for this procedure, i.e. Cadastral registration is carried out free of charge. Based on the developed technical plan, the following data will be entered into the Unified State Register of Real Estate:

information about the location and characteristics of the object being created or modified;
border coordinates determined by the cadastral engineer;
area, number of storeys;
the intended purpose of the created or modified object;
cadastral number;
graphic diagram;
other data, depending on the type of object.

After transferring information to the Unified State Register of Real Estate from the developed technical plan, the document will actually lose force. With each subsequent change in the characteristics of the object, the documentation is developed anew. After registration is completed, the USRN extract is issued free of charge.

If you built individual housing construction, it also needs to be registered in the cadastral register after completion of construction. When concluding a contract for a technical plan for a house, the cost of the work will depend on the location of the object, its characteristics, and the urgency of the surveys.

Time frame for preparing the floor plan and explication.

Officially, the floor plan and explanation for the apartment must be prepared by the Bureau of Technical Inventory within 10 days, regardless of whether the technician is planned to enter the site or not. In practice, the plan and explication in the BTI without going to the site are prepared in 5 - 10 working days, with access - in 10-15. These deadlines are relevant if documents were submitted directly to the BTI department, and not to the MFC.

The time frame for producing a floor plan and explication for an apartment in Rostekhinventarizatsiya is approximately the same.

The time it takes to prepare a floor plan for a non-residential premises greatly depends on its area and is calculated individually each time. On average, its preparation takes about three weeks.

Validity period of documents and BTI certificates

The unified database of the technical inventory bureau contains documents about real estate objects (plans, passports, etc.). All of them reflect information about real estate, the validity period of documents, as well as internal regulations for their use may differ, depending on the type and its purpose. Thus, the Moscow Office of Rosreestr has set the validity period of a passport and other documents from the BTI for no more than 5 years from the date of the last inventory.

The Star-Service Cadastre and Registration Center will help you obtain any certificate or technical passport urgently. The collection and preparation of the necessary package of documents in such cases is carried out very quickly, all of them undergo legal examination to ensure that they are filled out correctly.

According to Order of the Ministry of the Russian Federation dated 04.08.98 No. 37, technical accounting is carried out on the basis of inventory and registration of documents on legal ownership. Correctly submitted documents to the BTI for registration of a house or other real estate will help you quickly complete a transaction, carry out repairs, remodeling, apply for a mortgage or speed up obtaining a loan.

Order BTI documents

Decoding BTI.

Despite the fact that the floor plan is an architectural and construction drawing, the designations on the BTI floor plan of certain elements are very different from those approved by construction GOSTs. Apparently, this happened historically. Below in the figure we show the symbols of the main elements on the BTI plans.

Symbols on the BTI floor plan.

It should be noted that furniture is not indicated in any way on the BTI plans. Only built-in wardrobes whose walls are made in the form of partitions (but not furniture cabinets) can be marked. Plumbing fixtures on the plans include a shower, sink, toilet, bidet, hygienic shower, bathtub and stove. At the same time, all other appliances are not marked on the BTI plans: radiators, risers, heated towel rails, ovens, washing machines and dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc. The material and floor covering are not specified.

It is impossible to determine the purpose of the walls, that is, whether they are load-bearing or not, using the BTI. In most cases, load-bearing walls are drawn thicker, but not always. A load-bearing wall can be drawn thin, and, conversely, a non-load-bearing wall can be drawn thick. According to BTI plans, only an experienced specialist who has seen thousands of such plans and apartments can determine load-bearing walls, and even then not always.

On the BTI plans, only the main dimensions are indicated, without filling the drawing with them. At the same time, the BTI archive must contain a plan of the measured apartment and premises indicating all dimensions. True, not all objects, especially old ones, have such plans in the archive.

Features of the document

The floor plan from the MosGorBTI archive in most cases is a paper copy that was taken from the old site plans. The document will bear the seal of the BTI and a stamp that this is an archival copy. It will also be accompanied by a letter stating the period for which this paper was issued. Archival documents allow you to track all stages of changes in the layout of a property, if they were made and legalized.

The BTI archives contain many copies of explication drawings and floor plans developed back in Soviet times. Initially, they were drawn with a pencil on tracing paper, and then outlined with a pen. As a result of these modifications, as well as the use of technology with a large error (compared to modern devices), the information in the copy of the BTI may not correspond to the actual area of the room, although no redevelopment was made.

Making changes to the BTI plan.

If you plan to carry out work in your apartment or non-residential premises to change their layout relative to the one indicated on the floor plan (or they have already been carried out), then these changes must be made to the inventory plans only after receiving the appropriate approval from the authorized body. Without this approval, as we have already said, changes in the layout will be indicated on the plan with red lines, and will also make an inscription in the plan about the presence of an unauthorized redevelopment. In the Moscow region, they are limited to only the inscription, and changes are drawn in black. We discussed in detail the procedure for obtaining such approval in a separate article.

Also, quite often, BTI specialists, when measuring and executing a floor plan, make mistakes in the drawings and draw something incorrectly. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to prove something to the BTI, especially if the apartment has been renovated (they will always say that there is no mistake in the plan, but you changed it during the renovation). However, in some cases it is possible to correct the error.

To do this, a statement is written to the BTI department of your district addressed to the head with a description of the mistake made and the problem, to which is attached the maximum amount of evidence. For example, BTI technicians often confuse the location of the window and door when entering the balcony (switching their places). In this case, you can take photographs of the facade of the building or window and door openings in the same apartments on other floors, which will show the correct location of the window and door. After all, if the window and door are located like this in almost all apartments along the riser, then the house was originally built this way. The BTI will look at these photographs, the location of the window and door in the plans of similar apartments on other floors and correct the error.
