Does the site need an address?
According to Art. 2, an accurate description of the location of the property allows it to be accurately identified.
The absence of an address is not an obstacle to transactions with a plot that has been assigned a cadastral number. However, in the case of construction and registration of a place of residence, addressing is indispensable.
The addressing procedure does not confirm the right to the site and its compliance with construction, sanitary or urban planning standards.
The codification should be:
- unique. The same address cannot be assigned to two or more objects;
- legitimate. The data is entered into .
Each region of the Russian Federation has its own rules for codifying objects. Local administrations have the authority to assign names to streets, squares, avenues, roads and other elements of the road network in accordance with.
To obtain the address of a land plot, citizens submit an application to the local administration. On the basis of (hereinafter referred to as Resolution No. 1221), local government bodies assign an address to the plot, which information is entered into the state address register.
It is impossible to independently select an address, since this is not provided for by law.
Addressing procedure
A legally established circle of persons can submit an application for codification of a land plot, namely citizens:
- those who have entered into agreements for economic management or operational management;
- those who have issued permanent unlimited use;
- having the right of lifelong inheritable ownership;
- having ownership rights to the plot.
All of them can delegate the decision on how to obtain an address for a land plot to third parties by issuing a notarized power of attorney in accordance with.
Applicants provide a diagram of the location of the plot on the cadastral plan and a cadastral passport if these documents are not available in local government bodies. The submission of other documents is not provided, and their request is illegal, as is expressly stated in.
The procedure for assigning an address involves submitting an application to the local administration or the Multifunctional Center at the location of the site:
- personally by the owner or representative;
- by post with a description of the contents and notification of delivery;
- electronically via the website.
After receiving the documents, the citizen is sent a notification indicating the incoming application number to his personal account on the State Services portal or to the specified email address.
The same is true for assigning an address to a house on a plot of land. In this case, the owner must have permission to build a residential building or a decision to put it into operation.
The codification of all sections includes a certain sequence of elements:
- name of the country and subject of the Russian Federation;
- name of urban or rural settlement;
- name of the locality;
- name of the planning structure and road network;
- land plot number;
- type and number of the building or object of unfinished construction.
For a summer cottage
Many Russians plan to build houses on dacha plots, so they should know whether it is possible to assign an address to a plot of land without a house for further registration at the place of residence or receiving correspondence.
According to , the addressing of land plots, including summer cottages, is carried out on the basis of a decision of the local government. In addition, administrations of municipal districts are vested with such powers in inter-settlement areas.
To obtain a postal address for a summer cottage, the owner needs to submit an application to the municipality at the location of the plot. In the future, the plot number will become the house number.
In a populated area
In some cases, land plots are addressed on the initiative of authorized bodies. This applies to:
- preparation of documentation for territory planning;
- planning or surveying the territory to be developed or already developed;
- approval of the layout of the land plot on the cadastral plan or cadastral map;
- approval of the territory layout;
- making a decision on the construction of the addressing object.
Other grounds for assigning an address to a land plot in a populated area are contained in paragraph 8 and paragraph 21 of Resolution No. 1221.
Addressing a land plot in SNT
Art. 21 of the Law of the Russian Federation of April 15, 1998 No. 66-FZ “” defines issues within the competence of the general meeting. Since they do not have the authority to assign addresses, it would be a mistake to assume that the SNT management can identify land plots.
Address clarification or assignment is carried out only by territorial local governments in accordance with the requirements of Decree No. 1221.
Sometimes the SNT does not carry out delineation of the boundaries of land plots, and therefore there are no coordinates on the basis of which they can be registered in the cadastral register in accordance with. In this case, assignment of an address in the SNT is possible only after the land surveying procedure and the signing of an act of approval of boundaries with adjacent areas.
Agricultural land
Art. 77 establishes the concept and composition of agricultural land. This category includes areas located outside populated areas and used for agricultural purposes.
Current legislation does not authorize local governments to assign an address to an agricultural land plot located outside a populated area.
In order for agricultural land to be assigned an address, the plot must be transferred to another category in accordance with.
The address can be assigned either at the initiative of the authorized bodies or at the request of the owner of the property. To do this, you need to fill out an application and prepare documents, most of which are submitted at your request. Submit your application and documents to the authorized body in a way convenient for you.

Sample application for assignment of address approved
The Cadastral Chamber explained how numbers are assigned to real estate properties
The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the assignment of a unique digital code to all registered real estate objects - a cadastral number, which allows the identification of all objects.
The cadastral number is assigned by the rights registration authority once during state cadastral registration in connection with the formation or creation of a property or when entering information about a previously registered property into the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN). This number does not change and is not repeated over time and on the territory of the Russian Federation.
For the purpose of its assignment, the territory of the Russian Federation is divided into cadastral districts, districts and blocks, which makes it possible to unambiguously determine the location of objects in the country. For example, cadastral number 29:09:010101:1 means that the object is located in the Arkhangelsk region (region 29), in the Lensky district (cadastral district 09), in cadastral quarter 010101; and has a serial number - 1.
The exception is objects that are located on the territory of several cadastral division units, for example, linear objects - roads, power lines, pipelines. For such objects, “Conventional” units of cadastral division are created, with the accounting number “0”.
All registered real estate objects have been assigned a cadastral number and currently all information about the objects is contained in a single database - the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which was formed in 2021 by combining two resources - the state real estate cadastre and the Unified State Register of Rights.
At the same time, old land certificates, technical passports or cadastral passports of capital construction projects contain numbers whose name and structure do not correspond to the “modern” cadastral number.
This is due to the fact that until 2000, land plots were assigned conditional numbers, on the basis of which their registration was carried out. This number can be seen on the old land title certificate. Before 2012, capital construction projects were assigned inventory or cadastral numbers during the technical accounting process carried out by the Bureau of Technical Inventory.
During the process of “land reforms” that occurred in 2000 and 2012, the accounting of land plots and capital construction projects was transferred to the cadastral registration authority. As, accordingly, all information about previously recorded objects.
The body carrying out state registration of rights also kept records of objects according to registration numbers, which are indicated in the certificates of registration of ownership.
As a result of all the changes that have occurred in land legislation, real estate objects that previously had a conditional, inventory or registration number were assigned a cadastral number. Previously assigned numbers are not canceled, in this case they are considered previous.
At the same time, knowing the conditional number, you can find out whether information about the property is contained in the Unified State Register of Real Estate and whether it has been assigned a cadastral number.
You can do this on the official website of Rosreestr: https://rosreestr.ru/, using the “Reference information on real estate online” service, or submit a corresponding request to the rights registration authority or multifunctional center.
If you have not found your object, or information about it is not available in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, you also have the right to contact the multifunctional center with the necessary documents.
Result of the procedure
The assignment of an address is formalized by a municipality employee in the form of a Resolution, which is issued to the applicant. The document indicates the cadastral number of the plot and the structural elements of the address listed above.
The resolution to assign an address is given to the citizen in person or sent in the manner specified in the application:
- by mail;
- through a personal account on the State Services website;
- to an email address.
Negative answer
The conditions under which the applicant will hear a negative answer are established by law. Clause 40 of Resolution No. 1221 contains a list of grounds:
- the applicant does not have legal rights to the site, he is not an authorized representative of the owner or user;
- the response to the interdepartmental request does not contain the information necessary to assign an address to the site, and the applicant cannot provide this data independently;
- errors were found in the documents submitted by the applicant;
- there are no conditions for addressing.
The form of the refusal decision was approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation dated December 11, 2014 No. 146n.
Appealing a refusal
A citizen who has received a decision to refuse can seek protection of his rights in court. To do this, he needs to file a claim to invalidate the decision of the local government with a demand to oblige the defendant to assign an address to the site.
This category of cases is considered by the courts in the manner prescribed. In such cases, the courts establish the legality of municipal decisions.
If the refusal to assign an address does not have the grounds provided for in paragraph 40 of Resolution No. 1221, the court will oblige the local authority to carry out the procedure for addressing the site.
