The need for this BTI certificate is explained by the frequent renaming of streets, so justice authorities resort to such confirmation of the address of the object.

– a copy of the technical passport; – extract from the technical passport – form 1a; – extract from the technical passport of the BTI – form 1b; – according to form No. 3 for registration of land plots; – according to form No. 5 on the condition of the building/premises; – according to Form 11 for owners of private residential buildings; – land plot plan (site plan); - floor plan; – on the inventory value of the property; – floor plan in electronic (and vector) form; – explication annex to the floor plan in form No. 22 or form No. 25; – about the cost of a free room; – information on the cost of 1 square meter of attic space (for converting attics for residential purposes); – calculation of the difference in the cost of residential premises when they are transferred from residential to non-residential, etc.

The Bureau of Technical Inventory is a state organization, but it has the right to engage in commercial activities. Consequently, it can set prices for the provision of services independently.

The payment made by citizens is a fee for technical work. The cost of services in different areas of the same city may vary.

Prices are not regulated by the state.

Obtaining documentation

To obtain any documentation, you must contact the bureau or fill out an application on the government services website.

It should be noted that not all documents are paid. For example, a certificate for the state acceptance committee is issued free of charge.

Before submitting an application, you need to pay for the service at a bank branch or at the BTI itself, if there is a cash desk or terminal. The cost of documents differs depending on which one is needed.

Requests can be submitted to the BTI not only in your own city, but also in another city. To do this, there is no need to go to the department where the information is located. It is enough to contact the Russian Post with a package of documents and compose a registered letter.

But a surer way would be to issue a power of attorney to a friend, who will attach it to other documents and carry out the entire process himself. If there are no such people in the desired city, you can contact a specialized law office. However, the cost of such a service is very high.

Is it possible via the Internet?

If the property is located in a large city, then a request for receipt of papers can also be submitted via the Internet. This can be done by those who are already registered on the official website of the State Services.

If you need to obtain information about real estate related to small settlements, you will have to submit an application through friends, mail or a lawyer’s office.

Cost of BTI services

Prices are set independently. But it is possible to determine the average cost of each document in Russia.

If you contact the agency yourself, you will only have to pay for the technical work. But some people prefer to save time and use the services of third-party organizations.

The advantage of contacting is that the service is provided in a complex.

That is, if a large package of documents is required and there is no time to complete it, then contacting such an organization will help out.

Depending on the number of required papers, an invoice is issued. The price can vary from 5 thousand rubles and above.

Terms and cost of registration

The period for producing a technical passport ranges from ten days to two weeks. For a fee, a citizen can speed up the registration process, in which case the period will be reduced to a week.

A delay in the work of the BTI is unacceptable, however, the procedure may be delayed due to the fault of the applicant (if they are provided with an incomplete set of documentation, the application contains incorrect information or errors, etc.).

The cost of BTI services depends on the urgency of the work and regional prices (local authorities have the right to independently set the tariff for the production of a technical passport). On average, the cost of processing this document is about 1,000 rubles. You can find out the exact cost at your local BTI office.

If you decide to contact an organization specializing in assistance in obtaining technical passports, their services will cost much more (up to 15 thousand rubles or more).

To obtain the necessary information, you need to correctly compose a request, attach the necessary documents to it and send it to the institution.

In the second case, the company will do all the procedures for the client, the customer will only have to wait for the required information to be received.

Obtaining an extract from the BTI is quite simple. This document itself contains information about a real estate property that is registered in the Unified Register.

Such information in Russia is provided on a public basis, that is, open to everyone. That is why it is not at all difficult to obtain the necessary information if you act in accordance with the established procedure.

It may take some time for your statement to be processed. You can only find out for sure in the department of the state organization itself.

Where to get it?

You should pay attention to when the data on the real estate was entered. If information about the real estate was provided before January 31, 1998, you must contact the BTI.

If after the specified date, then the preparation of such documents is carried out. This is due to the fact that the Unified State Register appeared after the specified date.

There are cases when people mistakenly go to the BTI and demand to provide an extract for a real estate property for which data was entered after January 31, 1998.

In this case, the organization’s specialists refuse to provide data. This is absolutely reasonable and natural. Since BTI does not have such information.

Why is it needed?

For an apartment

An extract from the BTI for an apartment contains very important information. Due to the fact that fraud in real estate transactions has become very widespread in recent years, it is extremely important to check all information about the property.

It is worth noting that fraud with apartments is more developed than scams with residential buildings and commercial real estate.

If you request this document, you can fully verify the purity of the purchase and sale transaction of the apartment.

On house

An extract from the BTI for a house is not much different from similar documents for an apartment. It contains all the necessary data for the residential premises.

You can verify how many owners a property has.

This document is also required to verify the legal cleanliness of the property.

With explication

An extract from the BTI with an explanation is issued based on a request with documents attached. Such a document contains not only legal data, but also all the technical characteristics of the property.

Displayed in the legend:

• information about residential and non-residential areas;
• what room takes up how much space?

In addition, the explication and the extract itself may contain a graphic image of the immovable object. It displays all openings, walls, rooms, etc.

For real estate sales

To sell real estate, this document is necessary first of all for the owner. Thus, it confirms the officiality of the data.

In this case, buyers only check the legal purity of the apartment, house or cottage. Therefore, to make the sale go faster, you need to prepare an extract in advance.

This will reassure buyers that the transaction is safe.

Sample

The sample statement includes all the data on the property.

If you study it carefully, you can see how many owners there are in the housing and what share they own.

Features of submitting individual requests

Most often, people turn to the BTI to obtain a certificate of ownership of a property. It serves as confirmation of the presence or absence of certain property of the applicant. You can obtain such a certificate by providing the following documents to the institution:

• Passport or equivalent document;
• Receipt of payment of the duty;
• Documents about the applicant's marital status (married or divorced).

Passport Receipt of payment of duty Marriage certificate

When sending a request to the BTI about ownership of a property, you must remember that such a certificate can only be provided in relation to premises that belonged to someone in the period from 1992 to 1998. To confirm the availability of property at a later period, you should apply for a certificate from Rosreestr.

Another popular reason for the request is the need for information about inventory news. To obtain it, the same documents are required as in the case of a certificate of ownership. It should be taken into account that since 2014 the BTI has not issued such certificates; if you need to obtain such information for the current date, you should contact Rosreestr.

To obtain a certificate confirming the absence of buildings on a plot of land, you must submit the following package of documents:

• Certificate of ownership;
• Extract from the cadastral plan;
• Technical passport.

Before issuing the described certificate, a BTI employee must visit the site.

Often they request a certificate about the property, which contains all the information about the characteristics of the building.

Registration procedure

To register you need:

1. Fill out an application.
2. Attach a certain package of documents.
3. Pay the state fee.

A specialist from a government agency will issue a certificate indicating the date when you need to come.

List of documents

The list of documents for registration of an extract is small. You only need to provide your passport and application.

If an extract is required by a representative of an organization, then the state fee will be higher, and the company’s statutory documents must be provided.

Statement

The application indicates for which property the extract must be obtained, and, specifically, the address at which it is located.

The application is submitted in a specially established form.

Validity

It should be noted that the validity period of such statements is not long. This document is valid for only 12 months for Rosreestr.

But given that information entered before 1998 can only be provided to the BTI, the validity period of the extract is not limited.

This is due to the fact that when the data is changed, all information is transferred to Rosreestr.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the purity of the transaction, since it is possible to change the information only by contacting Rosreestr.

Video about receiving documents from the Bureau of Technical Inventory

— 28.10.2014
BTI

is a technical inventory bureau that maintains technical records of real estate. In particular, registration information is necessary for persons who wish to carry out any legal actions with their real estate, for which they first need to obtain a certificate from the BTI.

As stated in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2000 No. 921, mandatory inventory of real estate must be carried out at least once every 5 years. First of all, this procedure is required to identify changes and then enter them into the registration certificate of the premises.

Why do you need a BTI certificate and to whom can it be issued?

When performing basic actions with real estate, a BTI certificate may be required in various situations, which may include:

• Purchase and sale;
• Exchange;
• Donation;
• Inheritance;
• Redevelopment;
• Conversion of non-residential premises into residential ones.

The following persons have the right to receive such a certificate:

• Property owners;
• Legal heirs, including inheritance received under a will;
• Persons who have a power of attorney to perform these actions;
• Authorized government agencies.

Forms of BTI certificates and their validity periods

Some of the frequently requested BTI certificates are certificates of the building plan by floor and certificates of the characteristics of the premises in the form of explanations for the architectural project (in other words, an explication

). You should know that any of them is quite important both when carrying out any legal actions with real estate, and for redevelopment.

In addition, citizens often need a certificate of the estimated value of the premises. In particular, it is necessary for such actions with real estate as sale, donation and inheritance rights. But keep in mind that such a BTI certificate does not indicate the real value of the premises, since its assessment is made only on the basis of its footage without taking into account the location, condition of the housing, etc.

Also, a BTI certificate may be required in case of an agreement between the owner and the developer that after completion of construction he will become the owner of the property (assignment of ownership). In this case, the document confirms the address of the real estate.

The main forms of certificates include the following:

• Real estate registration certificate;
• Floor plan of the building;
• Explication. Certificate form No. 22 or No. 25;
• BTI registration certificate;
• BTI inventory certificate on cost;
• Land plan;
• Land registration. Certificate form No. 3;
• Condition of the property. Certificate form No. 5;
• Owners of private houses when equipping an attic in their living space. Certificate form No. 11;
• Extract from the BTI;
• Extract from the technical passport.

The validity periods of BTI certificates vary depending on their purpose. For example, the validity period of a certificate required for redevelopment of a residential premises ranges from 1 to 5 years. In this case, the owner must order a housing registration certificate in advance from the BTI, since it contains text and graphic parts. In fact, the validity period of the technical passport itself is unlimited, provided that it is subject to renewal every 5 years.

An extract from the BTI has a certain validity period of one year. The certificate contains data from the technical passport of the premises, such as its area, the presence and number of floors, the year the building was put into operation, the material of the walls from which they are made.

The BTI certificate of value has a validity period of one month. It determines the residual value of the property, which differs from the market price. It is in demand mainly by notaries when drawing up contracts or during hereditary transfer.

Owners of private houses, when equipping an attic in a residential premises, are issued a certificate in form No. 11 valid for 10 days.

Obtaining a BTI certificate

In order to obtain a BTI certificate, the following package of documents is required:

• Identity card (passport);
• Documents confirming the ownership of real estate;
• If you are not the owner, then a power of attorney certified by a notary;
• In case of hereditary transfer - a notarial request;
• Birth or death certificate;
• Certificate of marriage or divorce;
• For renters – balance holder visa;
• For legal entities - a letter of guarantee.

To obtain a certificate, you must personally (or an authorized representative) come to the BTI and write an application in which you need to indicate the type of certificate and the purpose for obtaining it. Initially, specialists will check the age of the technical documents of the property. If they are older than 5 years, then according to Resolution No. 921 they will be remade, which, by the way, is not a quick process. Although, as the same decree states, the age should not exceed 5 years, but this happens.

Further, depending on the purpose of the certificate, relevant documents may be required, of which mandatory for individuals are a passport and documents confirming ownership of real estate. When making a hereditary transfer, you must submit a written request from a notary to the BTI, because otherwise, you will not be given any certificate due to the fact that you are not yet the legal owner of the property.

Legal entities and tenants need to provide identification documents, a letter of guarantee and a balance holder visa, respectively. If a legal entity is the owner of real estate, then documents confirming ownership rights.

General rules for submitting a request to the BTI

To obtain the necessary information, first of all, you should collect a certain set of documents. It depends on the purpose and composition of the requested information. After preparation, you need to contact the BTI, which serves a certain area. Since information about a building or premises in it is required, you should only contact the state or municipal BTI, since commercial structures may not have the necessary data.

To obtain data from the technical inventory bureau, it is recommended to perform the following steps:

• Fill out an application to the BTI, which must reflect the purpose of obtaining information.
• Update the technical passport (if necessary). It is recommended to do this at least once every five years, since information becomes outdated, and regulatory documents require information about the condition of the building to be brought in accordance with actual parameters.
• Provide the institution with a package of documents in accordance with the list. In most cases, you do not have to provide the original; a copy, previously certified by a notary, is sufficient.

If the applicant is a legal entity, then a letter of guarantee and a document confirming the authority of the representative will be required.
