Why do you need a plot plan?
A cadastral plan of a land plot is necessary if in the near future the owner of the plot wants to sell, exchange, or donate it to a legal entity or individual. Also, the presence of a cadastral plan is required when constructing any structure on a direct land plot, for mortgage lending, registration of encumbrance, or changing the category of allotment. In the event of a conflict with neighbors, it will need to be submitted to court.
If this document is missing for some reason, the owner, in the event of a technical accident or natural disaster, may be left without support from the local administration, even minimal compassion. The owner of a land plot may also not be officially recognized as his real estate. As noted earlier, this document is an addition to the main passport. Therefore, without it, registration of rights and registration is impossible.
It is necessary to update the cadastral plan of a land plot if significant changes have been made to the site (for example, construction, moving boundaries, etc.).
Why is it needed?
A specialized map of the area with text and graphic display of characteristics - this determines the use of the document.
Cadastral and boundary plans are drawn up by specialized geodetic organizations that have the appropriate permission to carry out such work.
List of cases that require a plan:
- State registration of land.
- Dividing the site into several parts.
- Correction of USRN errors.
- Allocation of a share in the ownership of real estate.
- Transfer of ownership of the site.
- Refinement of location and normalization of boundaries.
- Formation of a new site from municipal property.
- Unification of lands.
- Resolution of litigation.
Where to get a cadastral plan
The applicant needs to contact the local FMS office or the MFC. Bring with you the completed application form and your personal passport. If there are any difficulties filling out the fields, an employee will help you sort them out.
You can also send a request through the post office; the application is drawn up in free form. Be sure to provide the following information:
- To whom - the head of the Rosreestr department, from whom - the applicant’s personal data.
- Indicate technical and cadastral information, as well as the address of the location of the land plot.
- The reason for the application is an extract from the cadastral plan.
If the plot has not been previously registered, then the owner of the plot must prepare the following package of documents: passport, boundary plan with agreed boundaries, receipt of payment of the fee. The amount depends on whether registration procedures have been carried out: if not, 350 rubles. Otherwise, you will have to pay 150 rubles less. To find out exactly, you can go to the official website of the MFC, and there you can familiarize yourself with the prices and package of documents.
What to do if you refuse?
An official of the cadastral chamber of Rosreestr has the right to refuse to carry out work on preparing a cadastral plan for a land plot. To do this, experts refer to current legislation.
The reasons for refusal may be the following:

- If division or other actions with the land plot are prohibited.
- The application was submitted by a person who does not have the right to represent the interests of the owner.
- The boundary plan was not drawn up properly.

Where and how to apply?
Based on the cadastral plan, a cadastral passport is made. With the help of a cadastral passport, the owner carries out transactions with real estate, including the transfer of ownership or its confirmation.
An order for the production of a cadastral plan can be made in any of the ways where it is convenient:
- Through the cadastral chamber of Rosreestr or the MFC, when visiting these institutions.
- By online ordering - remotely, through the websites of Rosreestr or State Services.
Documentation
Before placing an order for the production of a cadastral plan, it is necessary to collect documents that will serve as confirmation of the basis for the work being carried out. If there is no state registration for a property, it must be registered in the prescribed manner.

- Application - completed during the reception of a citizen or representative of a legal entity. This is done by a specialist or the applicant himself when ordering online through a special form.
- Application for state registration, if there is none.
- Passport or notarized power of attorney of the representative. For the head of an organization, minutes of the owners' meeting or an order of appointment to the position are needed.

- Boundary plan.
- An act of coordination of boundaries with the owners of neighboring plots.
- If the land is in shared ownership, then the consent of all owners is required.
The boundary plan must be ordered from a third party. Which has the right to carry out work to establish the boundaries of land plots.

The documents must display the following information:
- Cadastral number.

The column “Special notes” may indicate information about the applicant’s rights and clarification of the area of the land plot. Other additional information may also be provided.
Cost of cadastral works
The cadastral company has the right to determine the cost of services and work itself. Prices are based on the following factors:
- object location;
- season of work;
- unique characteristics of the object (area, number of storeys, height, etc.);
- the number of objects for which you need to collect data and draw up documents (for example, if you need to draw up technical plans for several premises or buildings);
- short deadlines for completing work.
Naturally, the larger and more complex the object, the more expensive the cost of work will be. Prices are agreed with the customer after a preliminary analysis of the documentation. Complex cadastral works are usually carried out based on the results of tenders, i.e. on a competitive basis.
Ownership and taxes
After you receive your passport, a certificate of ownership is issued. This procedure must be carried out without fail within 24 months from the date of registration of the storage unit. This must be done, otherwise the land plot will become state property and lose the TIN number. After the relevant certificate is issued, the owner is obliged to pay taxes, the amount is calculated individually.
If the owner does not understand the legal aspects, experts recommend using the help of specialists in land registration. They will advise and tell you how to act.
Stages of cadastral work
Each type of cadastral work involves different activities. As stated earlier, the main stages include:
- agreeing on essential terms and signing a contract with a cadastral engineer or company;
- transfer of basic title, technical and operational documents for real estate;
- travel of a specialist to the place of work, performing examinations, measurements, calculations;
- filling out documents based on survey results;
- issuing the result to the customer or sending the document to Rosreestr.
In addition, the list of stages depends on the type of work. If the contract provides for land surveying, cadastral work may include the removal of boundary markers on the ground. The engineer will install such signs at boundary points according to the boundary plan data.

Expert commentary. When preparing a boundary and technical plan, the engineer will indicate basic data about the documents and the facility, the equipment used, and error indicators. If registry errors are identified during the work, the specialist will indicate this in the conclusion. Elimination of registry errors may entail additional cadastral work.
Refusal and appeal
The issuance of a cadastral plan may be refused, but it must be based on the regulations of the current legislation. A legitimate refusal should be considered: it is impossible to provide information from the Unified State Register, or there is no information in the database for the requested land plot. Everything else is decided by filing a statement of claim in the district court.
The refusal must be received by the owner of the land plot within 5 days, excluding weekends and holidays, from the moment of acceptance of the main documentation and registration. The decision of the registration authority can be appealed by contacting the competent services.
Reasons for refusal:
- The applicant is not the owner of this land plot and has not provided a certified power of attorney.
- Errors were found during registration.
- Missing one (or more) documents. Clients often forget to provide a receipt indicating payment of the state duty.
- The boundaries of the land plot have not been established (the land plot has not been demarcated). It is necessary to carry out land surveying and coordinate the boundaries with the owners of adjacent plots. Order the service from a geodetic organization based on the location of the real estate property.
The deadlines for completing land surveying depend on the company. But often this process takes about 20-30 days.
Document form and sample
The document form consists of 5 sections :
- Indication of general information about the site. This includes the name of the state registration organization, registration number, area, current rights, and intended purpose.
- Information about boundaries in graphical form.
- Description of boundaries, information about neighboring areas.
- Text data about parts, if available.
- Details of parts, if any.
Borders are represented as outlines.

What happens if you don’t register an object with Rosreestr?
Cadastral registration has actually become a mandatory procedure since 2021. The legislation does not provide for strict deadlines for completing this procedure or fines for lack of information in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. However, without registering with Rosreestr, the owner will not be able to dispose of the property, sell, give or lease it.
If the object was erected or formed before 2013 and is not listed in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, documents for real estate accounting may be submitted when registering the transaction. This is convenient because you do not need to undergo separate procedures.
