Rosreestr Office for Sevastopol: What has changed in the life of SNT since September 2025?

Krympress reports:

Since September 2025, the life of gardeners in Russia has undergone significant changes. A number of new legislative acts, in particular, the Federal Law of 353-FZ, made adjustments to the rules for the creation, functioning and management of horticultural non-profit partnerships (SNT), as well as the rights and obligations of owners of garden plots. We will analyze the key points that have affected everyone who owns land plots.

The first and, perhaps, the most important change is the ban on the creation of new SNT on agricultural lands, as well as in the territories of settlements, if urban planning regulations do not provide for the possibility of gardening and gardening for their own needs. This means that the dreams of creating SNT on the former collective farm field, where rye has recently swayed, can only remain dreams. What does this mean in practice? If you are offered to buy a land plot of agricultural purposes and promise the prospect of creating SNT, be extremely careful. Carefully study the urban planning plans, land use and development (PZZ) of a particular territory. Otherwise, you risk acquiring a site where it will be impossible to legally create SNT.

The unity of the fate of the site and buildings: what is it? The law clearly defines the principle of the unity of the fate of the land and capital buildings on it. This means that now it is impossible to sell a land plot without capital buildings located on it, and vice versa. What is considered capital building? The law gives a clear definition: these are sheds, baths, greenhouses (having a foundation), awnings, summer kitchens, cellars, as well as wells. It is important to understand that only those structures that are firmly related to the ground and cannot be transferred without significant damage include capital buildings.

Section of household buildings: Now it is forbidden! Another important innovation is a ban on the section of farm buildings and garages into several separate real estate objects. This is a logical continuation of the principle of the unity of the fate of the site and buildings. Previously, for example, it was possible to divide the shed into two independent objects and sell them to different owners of neighboring sections. Now such an opportunity is excluded.

Urban planning regulations: We determine the construction parameters. The law emphasizes that the limiting parameters of permitted construction, reconstruction of residential and garden houses, capital outbuildings and garages in garden plots are determined by urban planning regulations specified in the land use and development rules for the location of the site. This means that before starting construction, it is necessary to carefully study the PPZ for your area and make sure that the planned parameters (area, height, indentation from the boundaries of the site, etc.) meet the established requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements can lead to a refusal to register the rights to construction and even to its demolition.

We make a bird and rabbits: now you can! The pleasant news for gardeners was the official consolidation of the ability to breed agricultural poultry and/or rabbits for their own needs. Previously, this question was the subject of disputes and disagreements. Now, subject to veterinary and sanitary standards, you can safely engage in breeding poultry and rabbits on your site without fear of fines and instructions. It is important to emphasize that we are talking about breeding for their own needs, and not for commercial activities.

New legislative changes in the field of gardening and gardening are aimed at streamlining legal relations, protecting the rights of owners of sites and preventing abuse. To avoid problems and misunderstandings, it is necessary to carefully study the current legislation, consult with lawyers and specialists in the field of land relations, as well as monitor updates in the rules for land use and development of your region. Remember, knowledge of the law is the key to your calm and prosperity on the garden— said Olesya Kalinkina, head of the Rosreestr Office for Sevastopol.
