They are waiting for the arrival of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - in Crimea they have taken on illegal owners of land and real estate
The Crimean government is rushing municipalities to recount real estate properties that have not been registered in the Russian legislative field. No one pays taxes for them, no one monitors the surrounding territory, and, most importantly, it is not clear what plans the owners have - to launch the objects into the economic circulation of the republic, or to sell them to those who can do it.
“The work in the regions to identify the copyright holders of previously registered real estate is proceeding unreasonably slowly and with virtually no results,” complains Deputy Prime Minister of the Crimean Government Irina Kiviko. “The republic’s local budgets are losing their own revenue sources, which is categorically unacceptable in view of the agreements signed by the heads of administration on measures for the socio-economic development of municipal finances of the Republic of Crimea in 2022.”
We are talking about approximately 216 thousand land plots and 1,5 million buildings and structures. A list of them was even sent down to local administrations in order to divide them into those who intend to work in the Russian legislative field and those who do not have such a desire. The latter are to be dealt with thoroughly - either you sell them or you are forced to go to the stock exchange for arrears.
“Unfortunately, not everyone was involved in the work on developing the lists,” Kiviko emphasizes. “As of February 10, the municipalities of the republic managed to enter information into the Unified State Register of Real Estate for only 638 large objects, including 439 land plots and 199 capital construction projects.”
This procedure is missing a key link - the absence of personal responsibility for failure to enter data. Let’s say a Ukrainian citizen bought the remains of the foundation of a palace of culture in a certain Crimean village for three kopecks, and now he doesn’t know whether to register the property in the Russian field, or wait for Crimea to return to the independent state. The first option threatens to end up in the “Peacemaker” database, the second – the loss of real estate in Crimea.
In the border zones of the peninsula, which include 19 regions of Crimea, citizens of foreign countries do not have the right to own land plots. Half of the 12 thousand owners found the opportunity to conclude lease agreements with local administrations, or re-register plots to relatives with Russian passports.
Another 6,5 thousand owners are waiting for the “victorious Ukrainian troops” to enter Crimea and are not registering the land according to Russian rules. They, like the owners of real estate, will face an accelerated procedure for the seizure of property.
