Obtain or check the cadastral number of a house - general information

When dealing with real estate (purchase, inheritance, etc.), the future owner quite naturally needs to check the object for its “purity”. This is available when submitting a request through the official website of Rosreestr. But in order to make a request, you need to know the address at which the object is registered, or its cadastral number. The first is available if you know the cadastral number of the house, the second is similar if you know the address of the property. What a cadastral number is, what information it contains and why it is needed, we will consider further.

Cadastral number of the house: general information

The cadastral number is an identification, unchangeable and non-repeating number of a property (house, apartment, land, etc.), which is assigned to it by Rosreestr upon registration (clause 1, article 5 of Federal Law-218).

What information does it contain?

The process of forming such identifiers is based on the procedure for dividing the territory of Russia into subjects of the Federation, which is approved by order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia No. 877. In accordance with this legal act, the territory of the Federation for the purposes of cadastral registration is divided into such units as:

• region (district);
• area;
• quarter.

The personal identifier of any object must necessarily contain the entire hierarchical line of accounting units. The standard scheme for generating an individual numeric object number looks like this (the decoding is also presented):

43:15:654321:17-55/005/2018-5 – where:

• 43:15:654321:17 – object identifier (cadastral number);
• 55/005/2018 – a nine-digit digital indicator, which is formed on the two-digit code of the subject of the Federation, the three-digit code of the division of the territorial body that made the decision on state registration of the right, and also indicates the year the decision was made;
• 5 – serial number of the registration record of the object with the number 43:15:654321:17.

Why do you need a personal identifier?

The general principle of generating such data makes it possible to obtain information about a specific real estate object by substituting numerical indicators of territorial divisions. In the same way, by substituting the numerical components of the identifier, you can determine the location of the object with an accuracy of a quarter. An individual procedure is provided for when accounting for residential complexes whose location occupies several blocks.

Important! The unique identification code assigned to a property (both a house building and land) is inalienable and cannot be changed even if the owner changes. Changes can be made only in exceptional cases that do not contradict the law (division or reunification of plots of land, when demolishing a house and erecting a new building on this site, etc.).

Cadastral registration without borders

A plot can be placed on cadastral registration without boundaries only as previously registered.
Such a property first has a unique number, and in the second stage the owner registers the right to it using direct documents. If you have land allotment and title documents, the administration’s participation in the land registration procedure will not be required. A plot without land surveying in 2021 may be subject to turnover. It can be given, bequeathed, sold.

If there are no legal documents, the local government body provides the site to the owner of the building for ransom or free of charge, but in this case land surveying is indispensable.

Determining the cadastral number of a house: options

Systematized accounting in the field of registration of real estate provides the opportunity to obtain general information about the property of interest online through the use of specialized Internet resources that allow you to obtain publicly available information about the property with minimal time and financial costs. You can also find out the cadastral number in the following ways:

• by visiting in person the territorial office of Rosreestr at the place of registration of the object;
• contact the department of the multifunctional center, regardless of the place of registration;
• if you have a document on hand confirming ownership of the object, you can look there (the certificate, an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate since July 2021, has replaced the certificate and has the same legal force);
• indicated in the technical passport for the real estate property;
• use the information portal “State Services”;
• make a request on the official website of the registering state body “Rosreestr”;
• refer to the Internet resource “Public Cadastral Map”.

Branch of Rosreestr, MFC

When using these two options, the interested party needs to visit them in person. You only need to have with you an identification document and an individual tax number (if the applicant is the owner). These government agencies do not issue cadastral numbers separately. You can only submit a request for an extract from the Unified State Register, where the object identifier will be indicated. To request an extract, you must first pay the state fee, which is about 1200 - 2000 rubles.

The statement will be ready only after 7–10 working days, which is not very convenient and costly.

Technical passport, certificate

Also, the identifier of the property owned is available in previously issued documents - in a certificate or technical passport. Now owners receive only an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which has replaced both of these documents. This option for determining the cadastral number is, of course, free, since the state duty was paid when registering property rights.

Portal "Government services"

The portal itself does not provide such data; it only serves as an intermediary between the client and the Rosreestr resource. The main function of this site in the field of real estate is the provision of information services, in particular about the bodies providing data on objects (Rosreestr, MFC, in some regions these functions are still performed by the justice authority or the Cadastral Chamber).

We will analyze in detail how to make an appointment there, what documents are required to be provided, where the nearest branch of the government agency is located, how much state duty is required to be paid, etc.

Through the official website "Rosreestr"

This resource has the most extensive data on all real estate (registered) in our country. Using this resource, you can find out not only the cadastral number of the property, but also get all the information about real estate:

• cadastral number;
• registration address;
• when it was registered;
• date of construction and commissioning of the house;
• Owner's full name;
• whether it is in shared ownership;
• when the owners changed;
• is it encumbered with any obligations (pledge, mortgage, arrest, etc.);
• and other necessary information.

To get all this information, just make an official request on this site. This service is not free and costs 250 rubles. But if you do not need complete data, then you should make an online request; such data can be obtained free of charge. To do this, go to the official website of Rosreestr:

Next, select the section “Reference information on real estate objects online”:

And to find out the identifier, you just need to enter the address of the property you are looking for; similarly, you can find out the address, you only need to enter the number:

After which the service will provide information about the cadastral number of the house:

If complete information is needed, then another request is created through the “Obtaining information from the Unified State Register” section. This service is paid. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in obtaining a cadastral number.

Public cadastral map

On the official website of Rosreestr you can also use such a resource as the “Public Cadastral Map”, but on this service only the identification number of the land plot is available.

To find out all this information, you need to know the full address of the storage device, otherwise the service does not provide data.

When there is no ownership of the land being used

There is a different procedure for obtaining a cadastral number in the event that there are no grounds for registering land for a specific person.

In each case, privatization will occur differently, depending on the documents, the presence or absence of registered buildings on the land, etc.

The issue of privatization of a land plot should be approached individually; consultation with a lawyer or cadastral engineer is required.

How to form a land plot if there are no documents for it:

1. Prepare a diagram of the location of the site in the cadastral quarter. It depicts the boundaries of the site and the coordinates of its turning points. To determine the exact location of the boundaries, you will need to involve a cadastral engineer.
2. The scheme is submitted to the local government for approval.
3. If the administration agrees with the provision of the site, it issues an order. The land can be transferred to the owner of the building either free of charge or for a fee. If the right to homeownership appeared before October 30, 2001, it is free.
4. Based on this order, the cadastral engineer prepares a boundary plan for the formation of the site.
5. The boundary plan is submitted to the MFC to assign a cadastral number to the land plot and register the right to it.

When, according to the Land Code of the Russian Federation, the preparation of a scheme for the formation of a site is not allowed:

1. If the plot is in gardening partnerships.
2. When the land is formed under an apartment building.
3. When forming an object in a garage cooperative.

In these cases, plots can be formed only in accordance with the approved planning and surveying project. This is an expensive and large project for an entire block, which a private individual cannot order.

Let's sum it up

You can register a site as previously registered yourself, without ordering boundary plans, diagrams or the services of representatives. To do this, you need to contact the MFC with land allotment documents and submit a corresponding application.

If there are no legal documents to register the object, additional measures will be required to approve the location plan by the authorized body, as well as to prepare a boundary plan for the formation of the land. In this case, a plot of land can be acquired either for ransom or for free, depending on whether a building is registered on the plot and in what year the right to it was acquired.

The result of registration will be an extract from the Unified State Register.

What to do if there is no number

When real estate changes owner for any reason, the registration number does not change in any case and remains the same. But there are cases when no one was involved in registration, but the need to complete a transaction arose. When do you need to address this issue?

• ownership is registered for the first time (previously there were no owners, for example, apartments in new buildings, a new building, etc.);
• registration of a mortgage or loan (banks usually require);
• the features and characteristics of a land plot or object have changed (several have been combined, divided into parts);
• in any other case when the object is not registered.

To obtain a registration code, you must contact Rosreestr, the Cadastral Chamber or a multifunctional center with the following documents:

Practical example of the content of the issue

Let's consider what information can be hidden in a standard number. For example, let's take the following number: 51:01:1203001:145.

• 51 is the number of the district where the building is located. In our case we are talking about the Murmansk region;
• 01 – district of the specified region – Kola;
• 1203001 – this block contains the code for the zone, allotment and quarter;
• 145 is the number of the building itself.

The number is generated personally for each object and cannot be changed in the future.

Simplified procedure for registering plots for SNT

Under the dacha amnesty, it is possible to register the right to land plots in the SNT in a simplified manner.

The dacha amnesty is suitable for those land users who:

• are members of a partnership, but do not have a document;
• There is a legal document, but it does not indicate the type of right.

Federal Law No. 404-FZ of December 8, 2021 extended the dacha amnesty until March 1, 2026.

Under the dacha amnesty, without establishing boundaries, a gardener can put a plot of land on the cadastral register and register the right to it.

Privatization under the dacha amnesty will take place free of charge if the plot used by the gardener is formed from the general plot of SNT, provided to the gardening partnership before October 30, 2001.

What information can be obtained from the details?

First of all, it is worth noting that by using the cadastral number you can obtain all the necessary information about a land plot and find out its value. All manipulations will take only a few minutes when accessing the online service, and the finished data will be provided completely free of charge.

The cadastral number is a special requisite that is of great practical importance. The room includes four blocks. Each block has an individual set of numbers and a specific meaning. Experts, describing this detail in this case, talk about the structure of the cadastral number.

How is registration done?

As already noted, this attribute is used by the regulatory authority to be able to find a plot or building. The standard assignment of a number to a specific object is called real estate accounting.

During the procedure, you will need to perform a number of mandatory actions, including a direct inspection of the property and drawing up the necessary documentation for it. Upon completion of the procedure, for each building you will need to obtain a cadastral passport of the object, containing all the mandatory information about the property, including the registration number.

Meaning and documents

Without a cadastral number, it is impossible to register ownership of a land plot, apartment, non-residential premises, object, or other real estate. There is no way anyone can get around this rule. An example of this is the inability to manage one’s property. Without registration with the Cadastral Chamber, it is impossible to redevelop an apartment that is not registered, to build non-residential premises on your own plot, it is impossible to sell such a property, exchange, donate, bequeath, entering into inheritance rights will also be problematic. All actions with an object that is not registered with the state are illegal.

The registration number is entered into the certificate of ownership, cadastral passport and plan. The passport contains detailed characteristics of houses, land, apartment premises, and any real estate for which it is issued. Without a cadastral passport and plan, it is impossible to carry out any official transactions.
