Behind the decision to buy a country house, each person has his own goal, depending on his interests and needs. This could be outdoor recreation or the opportunity to plant a vegetable garden to have your own organic fruits, vegetables and berries. Others want to buy a “village house” to live in.
To make a permanent house a permanent one - this opportunity arose after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when the law on privatization was passed. At the same time, summer residents received the right to registration.
This year, a new law on gardening and horticulture has come into force, which has expanded the rights of summer residents.
House with windows to the garden: advantages of housing in SNT
Garden non-profit societies are settlements created by the owners of summer cottages on their personal initiative. Under the Soviet Union, many such garden societies were created. People received six acres of land at their place of work, planted plots, some built summer cottages and outbuildings, and paid contributions to the partnership. When the USSR collapsed, part of the land was privatized, and the owners continued to build houses.
A little later, a rush for summer real estate began and owners of country plots actively sold their properties at an affordable price.
Now in SNT you can buy a house with a plot much cheaper, 1.5 - 2 times, than in a cottage village.
At the present time, such real estate is actively in demand, since utility tariffs are lower than in the city, as is the land tax. Low costs of maintaining a country house. You will not have to pay for cleaning the village territory and security.
Features of changing the type of permitted use
Individual housing construction is a type of permitted use of land, SNT is one of the forms of a legal entity. The plots of gardening non-profit partnerships have a VRI “Maintaining gardening” or “Maintaining a dacha farm”.
The procedure for changing the VRI of a site
can go in the following directions :
- A simple change of VRI allotment for partnerships located on the lands of populated areas.
- For partnerships located on agricultural lands - a change in the category of land followed by a change in the VRI.
Here you need to take into account that the authorized government body will allow changing the category of land if the following conditions are met :
- All members (or most) of the partnership want to change the category of land.
- SNT is located in close proximity to the boundaries of the settlement's lands.
- The annexation of the SNT site to the lands of the settlement is in accordance with the settlement development plan.
Agricultural lands classified as particularly valuable are not subject to transfer to individual housing construction.
Disadvantages of housing in SNT
Gardening partnerships originated in Soviet times. The state distributed land to everyone at a symbolic price. At one time, employees of various enterprises, factories and research institutes could obtain a plot. In this way it was supposed to partially alleviate the food shortage in fresh fruits and vegetables. Therefore, initially, just gardens and vegetable gardens with small sheds and panel houses were laid out on these plots, and only then the active construction of permanent houses began. However, not always and not everywhere.
That is why anyone who thinks that SNT is like a village or village will be surprised. Garden partnerships are like a large communal apartment in nature. Often, not the best lands in not the most favorable places were allocated for SNT. The plots were small, 6 acres each, and located close to each other, and the streets were so cramped that even two cars couldn’t pass each other. Houses with gardening associations are located next to each other and such closeness can be annoying. Some may feel like they are in a ghetto. In SNT, your neighbors are unlikely to be businessmen and club youth. If this factor is important to you, then do not forget about it when choosing a site.
Garden partnerships are characterized by dense buildings and small plots
The main feature of SNT is that it is essentially a voluntary partnership of residents. And all issues of improvement of the common territory, communications issues, lie with the owners of the partnership. Local authorities do not monitor this. Therefore, you will have to regularly attend meetings and pay fees (not always small). Often, some participants in gardening partnerships do not pay contributions on time, or even at all, and then the missing amount is transferred to bona fide SNT participants. At meetings, there are often disputes and it is not always possible to quickly agree on important issues.
and the streets are narrow and cramped, so you can’t get around them even with a car. Where is the space like Yesenin’s?
All this is worth remembering when choosing a country house. Therefore, it might make sense to look for a plot or house in villages and on individual housing construction lands, rather than contact SNT?
However, there are also exemplary gardening partnerships. In any case, before making a decision, it is better to go to the place, talk with the residents, etc.
What affects the cost of housing?
The cost of a dacha plot is also influenced by available communications. When buying a plot, make sure that this area of the village is gasified and has a centralized water supply. Because realtors sometimes disingenuously and call villages gasified, but in fact the gas pipeline has not yet been installed in some areas.
If there is no running water on the territory of the summer cottage, then there is always the option of your own well. The cost of drilling a well depends on how deep the source of clean water is. Approximately this will cost 30-50 thousand rubles.
It is possible to have an individual septic sewer system on your site; this will solve the issue of drainage. All these personal communications, of course, need to be maintained, but you will not depend on the problems of public utilities.
It is worth paying attention to the development of transport infrastructure so that you can easily and conveniently get to the city. This is a very important point when choosing a site, since the convenience of living away from the city still depends on the transport system.
The nuances of buying a house in a gardening partnership
Before purchasing a home in an association, be sure to check all documents. There are cases when the owner rebuilds or completes something, but does not document it. Check whether there are third parties' ownership rights to the property; to do this, ask the seller for an extract from the Unified State Register. Also check the property rights of the owner of the house and make sure that there are no debts for utilities.
Another important point when buying a plot when there is no land survey. Be sure to carry out the surveying procedure to mark the boundaries of the land plot and keep in mind that this procedure will take up to two months.
If you decide to purchase a plot of land and decide to build your own house, you will have to apply for a permit to build a house in SNT. But if the building is no higher than three floors and more than three meters from the border of the neighboring land, then a building permit is not required.
Associations of summer residents are trying out new organizational and legal forms
It is also worth noting that all members of the cooperative have the same rights and each has a vote. As for the disadvantages, it is worth noting the difficulty in creating such an organization. As mentioned earlier, the composition should include 15 individuals and 5 legal entities. All members must take an active role in the organization, and some may find this uninteresting and tedious.
KDP as a legal entity A legal entity conducts its activities according to the charter or in accordance with the constituent agreement. A person created under the code acts on the basis of a charter, which is approved by the founder.
The charter of a dacha association specifies the responsibilities of legal entities.
What does it cost us to build a house: construction of housing in SNT
If you decide to purchase a plot of land and decide to build your own large house, you will have to apply for a permit to build a house in SNT. But if the building is no higher than three floors and more than three meters from the border of the neighboring land, then a building permit is not required.
Many people believe that building your own home is much more economical than purchasing a ready-made one. This opinion is sometimes erroneous, since quite a lot of money will be invested in the construction of the house. And the construction of housing can take several years. It is necessary to dig a pit, lay a foundation, and wait a year until the foundation stands. It is necessary to build a house according to the design for safe operation of housing. If you cannot calculate the project yourself, what size load-bearing walls and beams should be, you will have to turn to professionals for help.
Features of registering a “country” house in 2018
Since 2021, Federal Law No. 93-FZ “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the issue of registration in a simplified manner of citizens’ rights to certain real estate objects” has been in force. This law helps to formalize the right of ownership of a privatized object in a simplified version, i.e. It is possible to register the purchase of housing in a garden partnership as an object at the construction stage. But it is possible that a fine of 4,000 rubles may be imposed if the owner delays the housing registration procedure for a long time.
For owners of plots of dacha associations, a simplified option for the privatization of residential buildings is valid until December 31, 2021. And for citizens who received land in their own possession before October 30, 2001, there are no time restrictions.
Also, from 2021, according to changes made to the legislation, the procedure for registering housing in SNT has become more complicated. Previously, it was only necessary to fill out a declaration; now it is necessary to provide a technical plan of the facility, drawn up by specialists from the Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI).
To avoid being deceived, you need to contact licensed organizations. On the official website of the territorial cadastral service you can find a list of such legal institutions. Drawing up a technical plan will take about 10 days and cost 8,000 rubles.
To register a land plot and buildings, the following documents are required:
— owner’s passport;
— document confirming land ownership;
— technical plan;
— receipt for payment of state duty;
- cadastral plan of the site.
They may not register your home in the partnership only if the information provided about the boundaries of the land plot and the area of the home, with adjacent outbuildings, does not coincide with the declared ones. And also if the authenticity of any documents is in doubt. In this case, you will either have to redo the document or make amendments with additional certificates.
Requirements for translation
- The plot must be registered in the cadastral register - clause 7 of Art. 1 of the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 218-FZ. Detailed instructions on how to check this - link.
- The boundaries of the site must be established in the cadastre — pp. 3 and 9 paragraph 4 art. 8 of the Federal Law of July 13, 2015 No. 218-FZ. Our instructions are how to find out if boundaries have been set.
Examples of plotsWith boundaries set
Borders are not defined
- It is necessary to take into account the minimum and maximum permitted area of the site - clauses 1 and 2 of Art. 11.9 Land Code of the Russian Federation.
The minimum and maximum size for plots is set by the local administration, based on the purpose and type of permitted use. Therefore, the permitted areas are different everywhere.For example, in the village of Ashitkovskoye, Moscow region, individual housing construction plots can range from 6 to 20 acres. Therefore, if the garden plot is 5.5 acres, it cannot be transferred to individual housing construction. After all, then it will be less than the minimum allowed size.
How to find out the permissible sizes is written below.
- If the site has several owners, they all must agree to the transfer . A general statement will be required from the owners - paragraphs. 4 paragraphs 2 art. 15 Federal Law dated July 13, 2015 No. 218-FZ. The form of ownership does not change.
- If the site is located in the Moscow region, you will have to pay to change the VRI To the Ministry of Property Relations of the Moscow Region - Resolution of the Government of the Moscow Region dated December 31, 2013 N 1190/57. In other regions they do not charge for this.
The fee is calculated from the difference in cadastral value. Individual housing construction plots always have a higher cadastral value than garden plots. About 1.7 - 2 times. Formula:10% * (KS2 - KS1).
KS1 is the current cadastral value of the plot, KS2 is the cadastral value after transfer to individual housing construction.
To find out KS2, you need to look at the cadastral values of neighboring plots of individual housing construction. Then calculate the cost of one hundred square meters and compare. The cadastral value of neighboring plots can be viewed on a public cadastral map or on the Rosreestr website - instructions with pictures.
For example, we have a garden plot of 7 acres and has a cadastral value of 2 million rubles. It turns out 285.7 thousand rubles. per hundred. Next to it there is a plot of individual housing construction of 10 acres and with a cadastral value of 3.8 million rubles. It turns out 380 thousand rubles. per hundred. If a garden plot of 7 acres is transferred to individual housing construction, its cadastral value will become 7 * 380 thousand = 2.66 million rubles. This means that when transferring you need to pay approximately 10% * (2.66 million - 2 million) = 66 thousand rubles.
How does payment work? After transferring the plot to individual housing construction, the owner will receive a payment notification from the local administration by mail within a year. You need to pay at the bank and provide them with a receipt/check. If you don't pay, they'll take it to court.
