Registration of land ownership

Registration of land ownership in Ukraine

Registration of land ownership is an important step for anyone who seeks to officially consolidate their rights to a land plot. This is not only legal documentation, but also the ability to freely use the land, dispose of it at their own discretion and provide legal protection in the event of disputes.
 

This issue becomes especially relevant in the context of changes in legislation or when there is a need for urgent legalization of already used land. A competent lawyer plays a key role in this process, who will be able to correctly prepare all the necessary documents, take into account the nuances of the legislation and ensure the smooth passage of all stages of registration.

Legal stages of registration of land ownership

The process includes several main stages, each of which requires compliance with certain procedures and the provision of relevant documents:

• Collection of documents for registration of land ownership: Obtaining title documents (state deeds, purchase and sale agreements, inheritance, etc.), technical documentation for the land plot, cadastral number of the land plot.
• Cadastral registration: Ordering technical documentation and its approval, submitting an application to the territorial body of the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre (Gosgeocadastre).
• Registration of ownership: Submitting an application to the Administrative Services Center (ACSA) or through the owner’s electronic account, submission of necessary documents, including cadastral number and title documents, obtaining an extract from the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate.
