OREANDA-NEWS. March 11, 2014. This is provided by amendments to law on cadastre passed by the Parliament in the first reading. Earlier, local authorizes did not establish boundaries of the lands privatized.

That work was fulfilled mostly by cadastre workers, who fixed the borders of the land plots in cadastral maps. Moreover, during en mass privatization of lands the land maps were based on the local or the false grid system because of the absence of the state geodesic network. All that caused imperfections of the cadastre maps used by territorial units of the State Cadastre Office until now. As a result, there has been the discrepancy between the information of field maps and cadastre ones, which causes controversy between neighbours.

To solve these issues without resorting to court, some amendments have been proposed to the law on the real estate cadastre. In line with them, demarcation of administrative territorial units and borders within localities must precede establishment of boundaries of land plots. A new provision is to be added on demarcation of land plots with pegs.

The amendments also set forth the order of removing the discrepancy between the cadastre maps and the field maps. If the boundaries of the land plot fixed in the cadastre plan differ from those real and the boundary certificate is absent, local authorities are to establish the boundaries of the land plot on the basis of the land allocation certificate. If it is impossible, the boundaries are to be fixed on the basis of boundaries of adjoining land plots provided that the deference in the land area does not exceed the area fixed in the title deed. Changing the data fixed in the real estate cadastre will be possible on the basis of the new geometrical plan and the demarcation certificate.
