Division, merger and change of land boundaries

Land plots are divided into two types: divisible and indivisible. Divisible are those plots that can be divided into several parts, each of which will be a new land plot. Moreover, each new section after the section can be used according to the purpose of the previous section. Also, the concept of divisible plots implies that their division will not lead to a violation of urban planning regulations, environmental legislation, fire, sanitary, construction and other norms. If these requirements cannot be fully met, the site is recognized as indivisible.

The division, merger is carried out with the consent of interested parties. To perform work on the division, merger of privately owned land plots, the interested person applies to the contractor. In order to perform the division, merger of state-owned land plots and provided for lifetime inheritable possession, permanent or temporary use, lease, the interested person applies to the local executive committee at the location of the land plot, which, if division, merger of land of plots is possible and will not lead to a violation of urban planning regulations, environmental, fire, sanitary and other requirements, sends the contractor an order to develop a project for dividing, merging land and establishing boundaries formed as a result of division, merging of land.
