Fanil Agliullin held a meeting on the registration of land plots under cemeteries
The Minister of Land and Property of the Republic of Tatarstan Fanil Agliullin held a videoconference meeting with the participation of municipalities of the Republic of Tatarstan on the issue of registration of land plots for cemeteries located on private lands and on lands of the forest fund.
According to the updated data, there are 3,677 cemeteries in the Republic of Tatarstan as of August 20, 2020, of which 81 cemeteries are located on the lands of the forest fund on the territory of 25 municipal districts, 119 cemeteries are on lands that are privately owned in 25 districts, which prevents their registration.
For registration of land plots located on the lands of the forest fund, the Ministry of Forestry proposed 2 options:
1) transfer of the category of plots to lands of specially protected areas on the basis of a decision of the Government of Russia;
2) the inclusion of plots within the boundaries of settlements by developing a general settlement plan.
Both procedures are time consuming and complex and time consuming.
The Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan has prepared proposals for introducing amendments to the federal legislation on amnesty for forest areas occupied by cemeteries in order to eliminate contradictions in state registers.
Registration of land plots under cemeteries located on private land also has difficulties. As of today, there are 119 such land plots in the Republic of Tatarstan, of which 73 are in a mutual fund (common ownership), 46 are owned by legal entities and individuals.
The placement of cemeteries on private land is not allowed, such sites are not subject to privatization.
There are no grounds for the seizure of plots under cemeteries in the legislation (Article 49 of the Labor Code of Russian Federation). In this case, the purchase of land plots for budgetary funds is inadmissible.
The only option is to donate to municipal property by the owner.
Regarding share lands - after reaching an agreement with shareholders for the formation of land plots, municipalities have to comply with the regulatory deadlines for the allocation of land plots (publication in a newspaper, holding a general meeting of shareholders, preparation of a boundary case, sending documents for registration).
