"Garage amnesty": how to register a garage as your property in 2021

“The best garage for grass is a marker pen.
Not a single cop will guess.” Don’t you understand what we’re talking about either? In Russian, the word “garage”, in addition to the traditional one – a place (room) for parking, repairing and storing cars – has many other, sometimes unexpected, meanings. In the quote, “garage” refers to a container where psychoactive substances can be hidden. In pre-revolutionary Russia, garages were built for horses, and now this is what offshore tax jurisdictions are sometimes called. And all states do not like these “garages”. The same story seems to be happening with ordinary garages in Russia. HOW MANY GARAGES ARE THERE IN RUSSIA?
Much more than in Brazil there are Don Pedros. According to the Federal Tax Service and Rosreestr, there are 36,902 registered garage (garage-building) cooperatives in Russia. Garage facilities are located on 1,395,638 land plots. There are 3,095,404 objects with the name “building” or “structure” on the state cadastral register. With the name “premises” - 2,550,065 objects. Rosreestr claims that this is only a small part of the total number of garages. Property rights are secured for approximately 3.5 million garage buildings. The rest are outside the legal framework.

Interesting fact
Garage space and the garage community are unique Russian phenomena, almost unknown in other countries. Back in Soviet times, garage-construction cooperatives formed grassroots associations, “men’s clubs,” independent of official structures, whose interests went far beyond the automotive sector. Sociologists note that in Russia, snack bars, showers, gyms and even brothels can operate in garages. They even learned how to convert garages into apartments.

What is the essence of the “garage amnesty”?

“Garage amnesty” makes it possible to take ownership of a garage, even if it had been used illegally for many years before. Federal Law No. 79-FZ of April 5, 2021 “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” (“On Garage Amnesty”) makes it possible to become the legal owner of a garage, as well as the land under it. Local, regional and federal authorities should help citizens with this. Registration of a garage as a property in 2021 has become simple and clear if you know and comply with all the conditions provided for by law.

When does the law come into force?

The law came into force on September 1, 2021. The simplified and free registration system will be in effect until September 1, 2026.

Benefit to owners

Firstly, officially registered property is a guarantee that garages receive legal status, which means they will not be demolished as unauthorized construction or taken away due to lack of documents. Many owners did not know how to officially register a garage as their property, but now they have a simple and understandable system.

Secondly, the law also contains information on how to register ownership of the land under the garage.

Thirdly, it is free, and a simple garage registration system has been developed, which makes the whole process inexpensive and simple.

Benefit for the state

It would seem, how does such a system benefit the state? “Garage amnesty” allows you to introduce all garages that now formally exist, but according to papers are “absent”, into the legal field. This will significantly facilitate both taxation and the resolution of issues of legal ownership. In addition, this will make it possible to remove garages that are officially recognized as “sabotage” but continue to be used, and to more accurately record land in a certain area.

Therefore, the garage amnesty from September 1, 2021 is a process beneficial to everyone.

Demolition is carried out by a construction company

The management of a construction company applying for a land plot under a garage independently builds relationships with the owners.

If a decision is made to demolish flat garages, demolition for the purposes of the municipality or according to the state program is clearly regulated by Article 239 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which stipulates the procedure for redemption and compensation for losses. But it’s a completely different matter when this happens at the behest of some construction company laying claim to the land of individuals or garage cooperatives.

In this case, the company regulates relations with the owners independently, but in a similar manner to the law.

The same rules apply here, according to which the owner voluntarily enters into an agreement with the company on the purchase or compensation for the demolished building. If the parties do not reach an agreement on any issues, the owner has the right to go to court.

Demolition can only be carried out after registering a bilateral agreement with the Companies House; without this, demolition of the garage is considered illegal.

Who is it suitable for?

Which garages are eligible for the “garage amnesty”? Those that meet the following requirements:

The garage is permanent, that is, it has a strong connection with the ground and cannot be moved without serious damage (a garage with a foundation is one of these, but a “shell” garage is not).
The garage was built before December 29, 2004, that is, before the introduction of the current Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation.
The garage was not recognized as an unauthorized construction by the court. If the documents are simply lost, this does not automatically make the garage an unauthorized building; such parking spaces can be registered using a simplified system.

There are a number of circumstances that may alert the owner, but by law they cannot be an obstacle to registering the garage as property:

The garage cooperative from which the garage was originally purchased no longer exists.
The garage has common walls with other garages.
The land under the garage is not owned.
The garage was inherited and was not purchased by the person who currently uses it.
The land was initially provided to the cooperative on the right of perpetual use or lease.

A self-built garage

There is no compensation for the demolition of an unauthorized garage; it is good if you manage to vacate it in time and pick up the property stored in the garage.

If a garage is erected without permission on an arbitrarily occupied territory, then no protection against the demolition of the garage will work here, since obtaining ownership of such a building is quite problematic, almost impossible. Although you can, of course, try, it will take a lot of time and effort. There are two ways to legalize such a garage:

Submit an application to the commission for the suppression of unauthorized development to preserve the garage.
Apply to the court with a request to legalize the unauthorized construction.

You will need to provide a package of documents:

Evidence of the applicant’s own construction of the garage (work certificates, estimates, contracts signed by this person, invoices, checks, etc.).
An extract from the state register confirming that there are no claims of other persons to the object.
Garage registration certificate.
Certificate of compliance with fire safety and sanitary standards.
Evidence of non-violation of the interests of third parties.

And some other documents that may be required by the self-government authorities of your region.

Important! If the land on which the garage is built is not intended for development, then it will not be possible to obtain ownership of the structure, and the owner will not receive compensation if the garage is demolished.

Which garages cannot be registered under the “garage amnesty”?

There are garages to which the amnesty does not apply, and therefore it is impossible to register them according to the above scheme. This applies to the following objects:

Non-permanent garages (including “shells”).
All garages that can be moved without being destroyed (that is, not having a permanent connection with the ground).

In this case, privatization of the land under the garage is impossible, and neither is renting. But it cannot be said that they will definitely be destroyed or moved. The municipality approves the layout of such garages on its territory. The procedure for developing this scheme is approved by the region. If you would like a non-permanent garage to be included in this scheme, please contact your municipality.

Another important nuance: members of a garage cooperative that has retained the right to land have the opportunity to privatize land plots for free (if they own non-permanent garages in such a cooperative).

Important!

Placement of non-permanent garages is possible only for a fee! Its size is determined by the authorities or the municipality.

The garage is on rented land

If you have the owner's documents, you can get another place to install a garage and payments for early termination of the lease.

Basically, Garage Construction Cooperatives (GSBC) are allocated land for construction on a lease basis for a certain period. Very often, the management of GSK forgets about renewing the lease or is faced with the impossibility or unwillingness of officials to renew the contract.

Accordingly, when the lease expires, the land again passes to the city, and the buildings on it are considered illegally erected. The same applies to individuals who did not renew their lease at the time of demolition.

In order not to lose a long-built and lived-in garage, protection against demolition must be reliable, and these are documents confirming ownership of the object itself. If they are completed according to all the rules, then you have the right to receive compensation upon its demolition, otherwise you may be left with nothing.

If the lease has not yet ended, and the garages are already being demolished, then the owner is entitled not only to payment of the market value of the property, but also to compensation for losses associated with the early termination of the lease.

What documents are needed?

How to arrange a garage? Reasons:

Any decision by an authority indicating that you have been provided with a plot of land for a garage (even a decision from the Soviet period).
Any decision of a factory, plant, state farm, or other enterprise at which a garage was built.
A certificate confirming the payment of a share in the garage cooperative.
The decision of the general meeting of the garage cooperative confirming the issue of the garage to you.

To actually register a garage as your property, you need the following documents:

Old technical passport for the garage.
Documents indicating that the garage is connected to communication networks.
Inheritance documents (if the garage belonged to your relatives).
Documents confirming the purchase of the garage if you purchased it from third parties.

Important!

If you do not have these documents, contact your local authorities. They have the authority to appoint other documents that will confirm your ownership of the garage. Such issues will be resolved individually.

Will you have to pay?

Amnesty, whatever it is, still exists. Citizens will have their tax debts forgiven for 15 years, and land plots will be provided for free or almost for free. It is clear that this is another case where what was free for many will soon become paid. But still far from the worst option that could be.

Old garages are too small for modern cars, the Germans found out.
Anti-rain glass treatment will ensure visibility in any bad weather and is effective even when frozen.
Personal protective equipment for your car in case of an emergency - tow rope, anti-skid, snow bracelets, wheel chains.

Do you have a garage? Congratulations: you have been granted amnesty

How to take advantage of the “garage amnesty”? Instructions for registering a garage as your property

Find out whether the plot of land under the garage is registered in the cadastral register. This can be done by contacting the MFC, local government authority, Rosreestr, a branch of the Cadastral Chamber or a cadastral engineer.
Check with your administration whether the land surveying project for the land on which the garage is located has been approved. If it has been approved, a diagram of the boundaries of the area under your garage cannot be prepared immediately. If not, find a cadastral engineer to prepare such a diagram. The diagram can be prepared on paper or electronically.
Contact the authority that manages the plot of land under your garage (this is the municipality, if the land is municipally owned; or the Federal Property Management Agency, if the land is regionally owned). Submit an application for preliminary approval of the provision of a land plot. The authority may consider it within 30 days.
If the decision is positive, contact the cadastral engineer with a request to prepare a boundary plan for the land plot and a technical plan for the garage. Do not ignore concluding a contract with him; it can stipulate the terms and cost of the work. The law also provides for the implementation of cadastral work at the expense of budget funds; contact the administration in advance to find out the details.
With a ready-made plan, go to Rosreestr with an application to register the land plot with the state cadastral register. This can be done at the MFC (including electronically) or even transfer the task to a cadastral engineer. After such a request, you will receive an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for the land plot under the garage.
After receiving all documents, contact the administration. Send her an official request to provide the site. The administration must decide to provide the plot free of charge, submit an application to Rosreestr to register ownership of the land plot, and provide you with extracts from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which will confirm this ownership.

After receiving an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, you become the full owner of the garage and the plot of land underneath it.

What else can help you

If you have any questions, please contact the central office of Rosreestr. You must be given written explanations for all controversial and unclear situations.
Be sure to review all available documents related to the garage in one way or another. Even if they are not on the must-have list, they may help you in some way.
Before you start collecting documents, contact your local administration and find out if organized work is planned for all garages. If so, you may be able to avoid some of the tedious DIY steps.
Documents describing the garage can be stored at the local BTI. In this case, you will not have to spend money on cadastral work to prepare a technical plan for the garage. Contact the BTI before visiting the cadastral engineer.
