The cadastral number for each property is unique and is assigned only once. Without it, it is impossible to carry out various legal actions: buying and selling, donating, inheriting, etc. It contains a maximum of information; some differences exist between the cadastral number of an apartment (house) and a land plot.
The procedure for assigning and requirements for real estate numbers is prescribed in the Law on Real Estate Registration No. 218-F3. With its help, all real estate objects located on the territory of the Russian Federation are identified; it is necessarily indicated in all information databases of the relevant government structures and organizations. Depending on the region and location of the object, a certain division is applied (Order of the Ministry of Economic Development No. 877 of November 24, 2015):
• cadastral district of the Russian Federation; • cadastral district of the district; • cadastral quarter of the district.
Each unit is assigned its own unique number. If during an inventory or other actions changes are discovered in the boundaries or sizes of land plots, technical characteristics of permanent buildings, then appropriate adjustments are made to the new number in accordance with the decision of the special commission. Changes affect only those values that require updating; all others remain the same.
If several objects are combined, the cadastral number changes completely. Those numbers that previously belonged to separate objects are liquidated, and the newly formed one undergoes new registration in accordance with current legislation. Outdated conventional numbers were assigned before 2005; they are distinguished from the cadastral number by dividing marks. In the cadastral part, the numbers are separated by colons, and in the conditional part by hyphens.
What information does the cadastral number of a land plot have?
For a better understanding of each part of the number, it is advisable to explain the meaning of any cadastral number. For example, what does the land plot number 23:41:0102001:2 mean?
23 is the number of the cadastral district, indicated by two-digit numbers, the 23rd is assigned to the Krasnodar Territory; 41 – cadastral district code, 41 assigned to the municipality of Goryachy Klyuch; 0102001 – cadastral quarter number, 0102001 has a land plot on the municipal land map; 2 – serial number of the land plot when registering real estate in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, may have 1, 2 or 3 digits.

Expanded cadastral number capabilities
Having a cadastral number allows you to use the Public Cadastral Map. After entering the existing number, information about the type of property, its status, category and address appears. It is possible to visually assess the object, its spatial location in relation to nearby buildings or land plots. If you set the requirement to display satellite images, you can see a real picture of the area.
By number you can find out the type of activity and purpose of real estate objects. If this is a plot of land, a description of the permitted options for its use is given. For capital construction projects, the purpose of the premises, their dimensions and specific location are indicated. The full map of the property also shows the cadastral value, but we must remember that this is not the market price or the inventory value.
Currently, the cadastral map of the Russian Federation contains publicly available information on 60 million land plots and 44 million buildings. The list of objects is constantly expanding and updated, changes concern new owners or technical characteristics of buildings.
Documents from your side
Errors may also be contained in the forms prepared on your part to legitimize land rights. To avoid inaccuracies in the purchase and sale agreement, ensure that the following components are present:
- Characteristics of the size, exact location, identification number, price and category of use of the site;
- Personal data of the parties;
- Phrases that clearly indicate ownership rather than lease;
- Forms of mutual settlement (cash, bank transfer, bank transfer, etc.).
Avoid complex language and additional agreements in the contract. Read all the fine print, even if you trust your lawyer.
In addition to the contract itself, the recording of information in the registration service database plays a role. This operation can be carried out directly by the notary or the owner himself. At the time of registration, a fee is collected and the corresponding application is filled out.
How is the cadastral number of an apartment deciphered?
It has more information, in addition to the designation of the land plot on which the capital building is built, the cadastral number of the building and the inventory number of the apartment are indicated. When one apartment is divided into two or more parts, each unit is assigned its own number.
Registration of new objects is done by application - you must ask for the termination of ownership of the pre-existing object and registration of the newly formed ones. The application is accompanied by a receipt for payment of the fee and identification documents of the applicants.
According to the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, apartments, along with houses, also belong to independent real estate objects and have their own individual number. It is assigned upon commissioning of the facility and registration with the relevant government agencies. When issuing a technical passport for an apartment, the code is indicated on the title page. What does it mean? Let's take the example 63:18:17:0035:2:1.
63 – number of the cadastral district, 63rd assigned to the Samara region; 18 – number of the cadastral district, 18th assigned to the Kinelsky district; 17 – cadastral quarter number, 17th assigned to the city of Kinel; 0035 – number of the land plot on which the building is located; 2 – number of the building or other permanent structure; 1 – apartment or separate room number.
Not only its owner, but also anyone can obtain a cadastral number for an object. Publicity of data increases the security of transactions and other legal actions. The number is assigned only once; even after the object is deregistered, it is stored in the archive. This is necessary so that problems do not arise in the future when solving various issues.
How to use the real estate cadastral number
Having a cadastral number, you can find out:
• whether the land plot or other real estate object with such a number matches the actual address; • whether there are any deviations in the size and configuration of the site or permanent structure; • who is the owner of the object (personal or state property); • how the object (land or building) can be used; • cadastral value and time of its determination; • are there any restrictions.
Using the number allows you to minimize the risks of fraud when selling/purchasing various types of real estate. The numbers are assigned to facilitate state control of the turnover of land and property of capital buildings when calculating taxes.
What to do if you lose your property rights
If, when checking the cadastral number, a change in rights to real estate was discovered due to independent reasons, then you can claim compensation for the loss of ownership rights from the budgetary funds of the Russian Federation. The money is given as a one-time payment, the amount depends on the cadastral value of the property, payments are made only by court decision. But before filing a claim, you need to know the following facts:
• the amount of compensation cannot exceed one million rubles; • the state has the right to recourse.
As judicial practice shows, it is very difficult to win lawsuits against the state; such cases are rare. But it is very easy to lose under recourse claims.
Study of the property and the area next to it
Try to study all aspects not only regarding the land. Pay attention to the surrounding area, the improvement of the village, the condition of the roads, the presence of transport infrastructure, distance from populated areas, social factors, etc. Being impressed by the purchase, many buyers take rash steps and get land at their disposal, which can then bring unpleasant consequences. surprises.
To identify certain risks that are not directly related to documents, make inquiries from local residents or read reviews on the Internet. You can carefully find out from the seller the reason for selling the land. Go deeper into the nuances, especially if the price of the plot is below the average market price.
On the territory of the land plot, when inspecting, carefully study the quality of the land itself. It is possible that the natural features of the site (such as uneven terrain, clay soil, high groundwater levels, etc.) will create problems for housing construction. Groundwater should not lie too high. To do this, just take a closer look at the basements of neighboring houses in the village; the area around them should be dry, without signs of flooding.
An undeniable advantage will be the presence of communications already installed on the site or located nearby. If there are any, check their functionality and condition. You may need repairs that will require additional investment.
How to find out who owns land in the city through the MFC
A new way to make inquiries about a specific owner of a piece of land includes a system of providing information in special multifunctional centers. It’s convenient to use the MFC; you just need to get a coupon with the next number at the terminal, hand over the documents to specialists who will immediately check them, indicating a list of papers that will be missing.
Using the MFC website, you can make an appointment in advance and arrive at the time specified in the appointment during a certain specialist appointment window.

How to find out who owns land in the city in the Unified State Register of Real Estate
It is permissible to count on the assistance of the specified authority if there is information about the exact address of the location of the plot of land. In this case, obtaining information about the owner through the unified state register will not be difficult.

Bureaucratic nuances
Make it a rule - do not work with copies of documents. During negotiations, only the originals should be studied. If the seller refuses to provide them, then such a transaction carries too many risks. Perhaps a person is impersonating someone else, or the property has been seized and the original title documents have been confiscated.
You can purchase land on both the primary and secondary markets. Transactions in the secondary market are more common and risky. To obtain land from the state, you can use several methods:
- join the community in the holiday village and get on the waiting list to receive a plot;
- take part in government auctions, submitting an application to local authorities;
- request the allocation of a personal plot from the same authorities and wait for the application to be approved.
Arm yourself with the information you receive to buy a plot of land safely and profitably. Be attentive and involve assistants in assessing the object. This way, you will be able to avoid mistakes, fraud and subsequent problems.
Don’t be fooled by too favorable conditions and emotions. If the seller insists on urgency and does not let you understand the nuances, they are probably hiding something from you. Be carefull.
