An economic approach to solving land issues. Today the President has signed a law on amendments to the Land Code. The innovations will allow, among other things, legalize the unauthorized squat land plots and help local authorities to solve a number of problems of land users in this sphere. The period during which citizens, who received land as those in need of better housing conditions, were limited in their right to dispose of such plots, is being reduced from 8 to 5 years.
The rational use of land resources and fair basic rules of disposal of land are the requirement of the head of state. This is the basis of stability in the society. The developers are sure that the new rules are based on this approach. The updated Land Code will come into force from 2023 and the amendments to the Civil Code from September 1, 2022. What will change in land tenure issues? The Chairman of the State Property Committee of Belarus Dmitry Matusevich told about the main innovations.
- According to the new code, the local government will have to determine the areas where it will be possible to provide land for those who need it or not without an auction, as well as the auction zone. It is clear that the auction zone will include land plots that are in great demand. The new Code allows to allocate up to 1 hectare in rural areas plus 4 hectares for private farms. That makes 5 in total. And for a farm, understanding the needs, it is 100 hectares.
