“The bill aims to create mechanisms for the registration of rights of linear facilities created before the 2000s and the regulation of legal relations on the use of land by the owner of the Unified Gas Supply System”, commented Vladimir Gruzdev, Chairman of the Board. of the Russian Bar Association.
He recalled that one of the trends in the development of legislation is the creation of conditions to simplify the registration of rights to objects built before the advent of a modern legal system for state registration of rights to real estate.
Therefore, at present there are such “simplified” procedures in relation to the personal property of citizens – the so-called “dacha amnesty” and “garage amnesty”. There are also simplified registration procedures for a number of other objects.
At the same time, such mechanisms for linear facilities that are used to provide communal and other services to the population, transport gas, etc. have not yet been created. We are talking about communication lines, power lines, pipelines, railways and many other objects. Currently, the rights to approximately 720,000 kilometers of linear facilities are unregistered due to the lack of title deeds for them.
“The bill states that rights to them can be granted without going to court by establishing a public easement on the land within which the object is located. Permits will not be required for the structures themselves, built more than 20 years ago. . The initiative is now being prepared in the State Duma for the second reading. The government has prepared amendments that clarify some of the provisions of the project, “emphasized the chairman of the Ayur Board.
In particular, the procedure for the formation of land and forest plots for the placement of linear facilities is specified. Likewise, the modifications prepared to the project provide that the holders of rights of linear objects, whose rights arose before September 1, 2018, will have the right to lease a piece of land or the right to permanent use of a piece of land for public easement. .
