Goskomregister of the Republic of Crimea: there are both administrative and civil liability for violations of land legislation

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Owners of land plots should remember that for violations of the norms of land legislation, in addition to administrative responsibility, there is also civil law. According to the Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for State Registration and Cadastre of the Republic of Crimea, Deputy. Chief state inspector of the Republic of Crimea for the use and protection of land Konstantin Titkov, the most common measures to influence violators is the imposition of a fine in accordance with the provisions of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations. However in connection with the ongoing state policy to reduce pressure on business, some control and supervisory activities have been temporarily suspended. This makes it impossible in some cases to bring violators of the requirements of land legislation to administrative responsibility. However, when signs of violations are identified as part of systematic monitoring, Goskomregistrar inspectors transmit information to local governments for response. Municipalities in this case have the right to apply to the court to compel the owner to bring the territory into compliance with the requirements of the law or demolish the illegally erected building.

In the course of the consideration of the case, the judicial authorities may appoint an expert examination, and the moratorium does not apply to such events. If a violation is detected, for example, an unauthorized building, the owner will be obliged to demolish such an object, which will entail even greater monetary costs than just a fine. There are other measures of influence that may be ordered by the court, such as a ban on the use of a land plot, and in some cases even its withdrawal. This procedure is regulated by article 285 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation . Of course, the alienation of land is an extreme measure, but I would not recommend the owners to bring it to it , — quotes the press service of Konstantin Titkov.
