Ukrainians who have lost property through war will receive land for free: the Council approved the law

The main purpose of the document is to protect the rights of owners of real estate, which were destroyed as a result of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation, and to give them the opportunity to obtain the land where their buildings or structures were located, without land auction.

The law stipulates that the sale or transfer of state and communal property for the former owners of the destroyed property will be carried out without additional procedures, which are usually used in the design of land, including the development or change of town planning documentation.

In this case, the purpose of the land will be determined according to the purpose of the real estate object to its destruction, which simplifies the process of restoration or construction of new housing and infrastructure. In addition, the document states that such provisions will be in force throughout the martial law and five years after it is terminated or abolished, and this allows people to have enough time to register land rights and plan renewable work.

The explanatory note to the bill states that earlier the owners of the destroyed property could often not apply for the land, even if they received compensation for the destroyed property. As a result, they lost the opportunity to restore housing or economic objects, since state registration of the termination of ownership of the destroyed building actually deprived them of any legal grounds on land.

In general, the adoption of the law will eliminate this gap in legal regulation and provide fair access to land resources for those citizens affected by the war. According to legislators, the implementation of the provisions of the new law will not require additional expenditures from the state or local budgets. We will remind that on October 8 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine also adopted a resolution, which guarantees the continuous work of local self -government bodies during martial law.
