No documents for a garage - garage amnesty
The essence of the garage amnesty. If your garage was built before the collapse of the USSR and you do not have a single document certifying your rights to the garage, then this law was created just for you. The garage amnesty will allow you to legally legitimize your ownership and dispose of your garage according to the law: sell, donate, inherit, sell. The format and procedure for legalizing a garage depends on the type of building:
- The garage is built on a plot of land on your property;
- The garage is located in a garage cooperative;
- Garage in the courtyard of a multi-storey building;
Garage type:
- Capital construction (foundation, walls, roof);
- Metal garage (welded from sheet metal);
If your garage is welded from metal, you do not need to register it and register ownership of it.
Because it is easy to disassemble or transfer using a crane. A metal garage in the courtyard of a multi-storey building will only be available to WWII participants or disabled people. If you want to register a garage located on a plot of land in municipal ownership or belonging to another owner, the owner or administration may require that the garage be dismantled.
✅ Timing for garage privatization
Many people ask how long will the procedure take if all the documents are collected?
If there are no problems, an extract from the Unified State Register of Property Rights will be issued within 3-10 days from the date of contacting Rosreestr. If you act through the MFC, the deadlines increase by 2-3 days - the period for sending documents to the department.
The applicant also confirms ownership of the garage. It usually takes up to 14 days for the administration to review documents. The total time for privatization of a building in GSK is from a month or a little longer.
Is garage amnesty a government ploy?
Citizens think that any law takes into account the benefit of the state itself, and not the common people. There is a grain of truth in this. The direct benefit of the state in the garage amnesty
is that people will independently legitimize tens of millions of unauthorized construction projects.
They will independently register them in the cadastral register and pay taxes on land and construction projects. The Moscow administration will find out who the owners of unauthorized buildings are - unsafe objects, objects located on municipal land. Who is responsible for unauthorized construction? The benefit of citizens
is that if a citizen does register a garage, then the owner will be able to sell it, rent it out, pass it on by inheritance, and not be afraid of the demolition of his private property. If the administration or developer wants to demolish a legal garage, they are obliged to pay compensation to the owner of the garage.
Garage amnesty is a simplified version of paperwork for a garage. The owner of the garage receives the land plot underneath it free of charge. The garage and the land under it can be legalized from September 1, 2021
✅ How to privatize a garage?
Let's move on to consider the features of transferring a garage from GSK to private ownership. Let us immediately note that the procedure is not easy. Usually the chairman of the cooperative is responsible for all the formalities. But there is an option in which the garage user makes the appeal.
