Technical plan or technical passport: what to choose for state registration?

The technical passport for the house is of great importance. Without this document, it is impossible to legalize the construction, transfer the building into ownership, sell, donate or inherit.

Some owners are sure that a technical passport is an analogue of a cadastral passport for real estate, so they are in no hurry to issue it. This is an irresponsible approach to business. The registration certificate gives the owner the right to consider himself the full owner of his property. We will tell readers how to obtain a technical passport for a home.

What does the document say?

The technical passport for the house contains detailed information about the property. By analogy, you can compare paper with a civil passport. What you can find out if you look at the document:

• detailed information about the property. This includes: actual location, number of floors, square footage, year of construction and intended purpose. Listing the owners of the building;
• technical diagram of the facility. Supporting structures, communications, door and window openings, ventilation shafts and drainage systems are reflected here;

A technical passport is a document containing the following information:

• property address, number of floors, year of construction;
• data of the owners of the living space;
• technical plan of the building with all details;
• explication;
• information about planning, reconstruction;
• inventory value.

The document is used by owners to complete a variety of transactions. This could be a purchase or sale, an inheritance, or a donation of a home. Most often, a registration certificate is required if the registration is carried out by a notary. Many buyers check the data specified in the document.

When is it needed?

What is the document for? Not a single real estate transaction takes place without the participation of this paper. A technical passport for a house will help resolve any property disputes if the building is in shared ownership.

Based on these data, the amount of real estate tax is determined. To draw up a mortgage loan agreement if the house is used as collateral.

A registration certificate will also be required when dividing real estate. For example, if the owner wants to transfer the building into shared ownership. Registration of inheritance also occurs with the participation of this document. Having figured out why you need a registration certificate for a residential building, you need to mention where you can get the document.

What does the registration certificate look like?

For the first time, a technical passport is issued upon commissioning of real estate, which displays the necessary information, namely:

• The document provides a drawing indicating the walls, partitions, number of rooms, number of windows and doors;
• The total area by which the number of square meters for each family member is calculated;
• In addition, the main characteristics of the structure are indicated. That is, the foundation, as well as all the floors. Based on these technical data, it is possible to find out how strong and durable the structure is. And also using these indicators, you can start from the amount to determine the cost if the property is put up for sale;
• Date of commissioning and date of last major overhaul, if any;
• Inventory assessment of real estate value.

When receiving a registration certificate for a house, regardless of whether it is for the first time or as a result of a replacement, the services provided are entirely the responsibility of the property owner.

Where to contact?

You can obtain a technical passport at the BTI at your place of residence . Please note that only the legal owner of the property can order the document.

According to current legislation, paperwork can be entrusted to a trusted person. In this case, a power of attorney to conduct business is issued, which must be certified by a notary.

However, contacting the BTI involves wasting time. A personal visit to any government agency invariably involves waiting in lines. Therefore, you can make a request for a registration certificate via the Internet.

How to get a technical passport online? You need to go to the appropriate section on the government services portal and fill out the attached sample application. To make the state machine work faster, we recommend attaching to the application an additional file with photocopies of the receipt for payment of the state duty and title documents for the residential building.

After consideration of the application, the applicant is contacted by telephone.

Where to order a registration certificate is not the main question. Many of our fellow citizens do not know how the document is prepared. The procedure for obtaining a technical passport involves the visit of BTI specialists to the specified address. Residential buildings and outbuildings are inspected on site. Based on this inspection, a plan of the building will be made.

If the construction of the house was carried out in violation of technology or illegal redevelopment was carried out, the issuance of the document will be refused. In this case, a technical examination is appointed, which will record existing violations. It will be possible to issue the document only after eliminating the existing shortcomings.

How to recover?

Any document can be lost or stolen. If this happens, you should contact the BTI with a request to issue a duplicate.

There is no need to pay a state fee, and the documents themselves will be ready in a few days.

If the registration certificate is not restored immediately, the home owner may have problems later. Having found out where the registration certificate is made, as well as how much it costs, you should not hesitate to obtain it. This document is very important, and its absence can result in serious trouble. For example, you will have to receive it very quickly, paying extra for urgency. Or the absence of a registration certificate will be regarded as an attempt at fraud. And this entails a fine.

Required documents

To obtain a technical passport, one application will not be enough. If you decide to order a technician, be prepared to present him with the following documents:

• homeowner's passport. If the house is in shared ownership, all co-owners must present their passports;
• application for registration of a technical passport and technical inspection of the building. A sample filling can be found on the BTI website or see below;
• papers confirming the right to dispose of this property;
• a receipt confirming payment for services.

Application for obtaining information from the BTI

BTI technical passport

When contacting the BTI, do not forget to indicate the purpose of obtaining the registration certificate. Additional paperwork will depend on this. For example:

• reconstruction and redevelopment will require an official request from the city department of architecture;
• if you plan to order a document to transfer a house by inheritance, you need to attach a request from a notary’s office;
• When registering a house as collateral, no additional documentation is required. It is enough to mention this in the application.

Intermediary services

There are companies that offer services for quickly obtaining technical passports. In other words, they act as intermediaries between the owners and the BTI. This is completely legal, so you don't have to worry about liability.

The advantage of working with intermediary companies is that they relieve the home owner from all the hassle. No need to submit documents, etc. yourself.

But there is also a drawback - payment for services. The minimum cost is several thousand rubles. This should be taken into account if you intend to hire an intermediary.

Validity period of the registration certificate

You can issue a registration certificate within 14 days. Please note that this time period may vary depending on the total area. To make the document, specialists will inspect not only the residential building, but also the adjacent buildings.

For example, if the total area exceeds 1,000 square meters, then the document can be issued within three weeks. When contacting the BTI, the applicant will be asked to speed up the process, of course, for an additional fee. If deadlines are running out, then by paying an additional fee you can receive the document in 2-3 days.

Many people are interested in the validity period of a technical passport. In current legislation, the validity period is not regulated by any rules. Accordingly, the document is considered unlimited. However, BTI experts recommend re-registering it every five years.

If no changes have been made to the layout of the house during this period, then there is no need to order a technician to come out. It is enough to make a request for re-registration via the Internet, or in person.

If redevelopment was carried out, then the old registration certificate is considered invalid. In this case, you need to order a new document where the changes made will be noted. We described above how to obtain a registration certificate.

BTI employees should not indicate the validity period of the registration certificate. If no redevelopment was carried out during the ownership of the house, the document will not lose legal force, even if it was drawn up 30 years ago.

What is needed to obtain a land passport?

The list is standard for most real estate documents:

• Citizen's passport;
• Title documents for the target plot of land;
• Payment of state duty in a certain amount (rates are indicated on the Rosreestr website for each type of passport separately);
• Completed application form for obtaining a CP.

Documents are handed over to an employee of Rosreestr or MFC against signature. Check its completeness and accuracy, and also accept seized papers based on it carefully. The production time for a CP usually does not exceed 5 days, however, the state registrar may require additional information. There is also a mechanism for refusing to issue a cadastral passport, for example, in the event of an application from an inappropriate person. The list of reasons for refusal is described in Federal Law No. 221. Even in case of refusal to issue a cadastral passport, the applicant can appeal the registrar’s decision by filing a lawsuit against Rosreestr. Trial is also often required in cases of:

• Delays in issuing CP;
• Loss of documents issued for obtaining a passport;
• If the registrar requires additional documents not provided for by the regulations and legal procedure.

Sometimes disputes can end with an appeal to the head of the authorized body, in a pre-trial manner.
