GUZR calls for restructuring of permanent use

Panteleev, Aleksey.  “GUZR [Head administration of land resources] calls for restructuring of permanent use” (“GUZR prizyvaet pereoformit’ ‘bessrochku’”), Kommercheskie Vesti, 2 June 2010. 15 July 2010 http://kvnews.ru/archive/2010/jur21(947)/farm/14198/.

Update on restructuring of permanent (perpetual) use lands: 30% of Omsk enterprises [mostly small industrial enterprises] hold lands under permanent use.  Adds that in Omskaya Oblast until January 1, 2012, enterprises using land on which they own facilities, equipment, etc. can buy-out the land at a rate of 2.5% of its Cadastral value.  After that date, fines of 20 to 100 thousands rubles can be imposed, though at the federal level, considerations are being made to tighten these measures.

Also: “Perpetual use coming to an end.” Russian Real Estate, 9 August 2010. 16 July 2010 http://www.1rre.ru/news/doc/35747/.  On publication date, 80% of Omsk Oblast’s permanent (perpetual) users had been either been restructured as proprietors or renters, according to the GUZR of Omsk.

In Volgograd, municipality will cooperate with industrial enterprises in buying out land plots

“In Volgograd, municipality will cooperate with industrial enterprises in buying out land plots” (“V Volgograde munitsipalitet okazhet sodeystvie promyshlennym predpriyatiyam v vykupe zemel’nykh uchastkov”), Zem.ru, 28 September 2009.  26 July 2010 http://www.zem.ru/all/825/.

The state of land reform in Volgograd.  The Volgograd municipality is offering a discount price on land buy-outs, if purchased by enterprises before the end of 2009; the relative stability of land tax rates, as opposed to more in-flux lease payments, is another incentive to buy out, the article adds.  The city administration is encouraging full privatization of land since land taxes on private land help fill the city budget.  The 400 hectares of federal land, on which 15 large industrial enterprises are currently situated, currently add some 123 million rubles to the city coffers annually; if reformulated as rents from the federal government, the city will lose these monies.  Committee on land resources chairperson Irina Anisimova is pleased that 80 new enterprise land privatizations in 2008 were added to the total 290 privatized industrial land plots, though she realizes this momentum must be sustained.  Although city administration affirms its readiness to cooperate with enterprises in quickly formulating buy-out documents, disparities between Cadastral appraisal prices and market prices are sure to fuel disagreements over buy-out prices.
