What is BTI: powers, list of services to the population

Last modified: January 2021

According to statistics, almost every third citizen of our country at least once in his life, one way or another, has encountered such functionality as BTI. But not many people wonder what BTI is and what services it provides.

Most often, the services of this institution are necessary for any transactions with real estate (land, residential and non-residential property, etc.):

• purchase and sale;
• redevelopment;
• land surveying;
• evaluation (revaluation);
• production of a technical passport;
• privatization and many others.

And the abbreviation BTI itself stands for “Bureau of Technical Inventory”.

What is BTI

The Bureau of Technical Inventory is a special state system whose main purpose is to conduct technical accounting of real estate.
The system carries out a rapid exchange of information between all organizations that carry out an inventory of objects, including land plots and structures, as well as those conducting cadastral records.

The work of the structure is regulated by law.

The bureau plays an important role in housing redevelopment. If changes were made without the consent of the BTI, this is considered illegal. In the event of the destruction of a load-bearing wall, for example, the consequences can be very dire.

The structure in its activities is guided by a number of regulations, the most important of which is Government Decree No. 921 of December 4, 2000.

Some part of the organization's activities is regulated directly by the organization itself. For example, the Bureau has the right to independently set prices for the provision of certificates on objects .

Structure

In the course of its work, BTI closely cooperates with many systems - Rosreestr authorities, housing and communal services organizations, banking institutions. The structure of the Bureau is ambiguous; sometimes it is very difficult to understand to whom the BTI reports, and different bodies may be hidden under the same name.

In most cases, the bureau does not have government financial support and is self-sufficient. The number of staff is also ambiguous. For example, in small towns, an organization may only employ about 5 people.

Sometimes BTI is registered as a branch of a state or federal enterprise.

Responsibilities

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 30, 2009 N 388, the responsibilities of the BTI are:

• conducting a technical inventory of housing;
• conducting an assessment of real estate, determining the tax base for property tax;
• issuing certificates and consulting on issues of state registration of housing stock.

Field of activity

Surely each of us at least once in our lives asked ourselves the question: “What does BTI do?” or “What does BTI do?” The scope of activity of this organization is diverse.
Bureau employees evaluate real estate structures, keep records of them, deal with document flow and preparation of certificates, regulations, and technical specifications.

How the BTI structure ensures the direct functioning of the state registration system , collects and analyzes statistical data.

In addition, it creates a tax base, which subsequently serves as the basis for the collection of taxes by the Federal Tax Service.

The Bureau creates records of unfinished construction projects, land plots, residential and non-residential premises. The database includes information about the location of the premises, its technical condition and its price. Structure archives are a systematic collection of information about all buildings - garages, garden houses, large factories.

Important! Several years ago, the organization was engaged in registering property rights. But now this function falls under the competence of Rosreestr.

What documents can be prepared at the Bureau?

The authority of the institution allows you to formalize :

• an extract from the technical passport of buildings (formed according to form 1a);

Functions and powers of the BTI

The main function is to examine the technical condition of premises, both residential and non-residential.

The system performs inventory in three directions:

1. When the facility is just being put into operation.
2. Unscheduled inventory when it is necessary to legitimize changes in transactions and other operations.
3. When demolishing a house or reconstructing it.

After checking the BTI, a technical passport for the object is drawn up , which contains information about the initial cost estimate, the address of the object, and its wear and tear. In other words, the passport contains detailed characteristics.

Also required is an appendix to the passport - a floor plan and an explanation - a brief diagram-schedule.

Other functions include monitoring the condition of objects, inventory of housing stock and revaluation of buildings.

The Bureau also advises citizens and provides them with the necessary information.

In addition to the above, the results of the organization’s activities are necessary for the formation of the State Register of Real Estate. Based on the information, an archive is created in which important documents are stored - registration books, inventory files, technical passports, schedules and plans.

What is a technical plan for an apartment?

Since 2013, in accordance with Federal Law No. 221 dated July 24, 2007 “On the State Real Estate Cadastre”, and on the basis of Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 577 dated October 14, 2011, no longer requires a Technical passport , and Technical plan of the apartment.

The technical plan for an apartment is a somewhat expanded document, including technical passport , and supplemented with new information necessary for cadastral registration. In particular, the Technical Plan indicates the location of the apartment within the building’s floor, or a description of the outline of the entire building in order to link its coordinates to the land plot.

Thus, the Technical Plan , among other things, allows you to accurately determine the location of any property from the position of its geolocation.

Unlike the Technical Passport , the Technical Plan of the apartment is not prepared in the BTI, but is compiled by certified cadastral engineers, because The main purpose of the Technical Plan is the presentation of technical data for recording and updating information about a real estate property in the State Real Estate Cadastre (GKN).

What is the procedure for organizing an alternative transaction with an apartment and when building a chain - see the link.

The technical plan for the apartment is ordered by its owner, for which he needs to fill out the so-called. "declaration of real estate". In this declaration, he enters the existing technical parameters of the apartment (address, floor, area, purpose, etc.), known to him from other documents.

The form and rules for filling out the declaration can be found here.

Like the Technical Passport , the Technical Plan of the apartment contains two parts: text and graphic. The text part contains the following sections:

• general information about cadastral works (indicating the customer and contractor);
• initial data for cadastral registration (including data from a previously issued registration certificate, for example, and declaration data);
• characteristics of the premises (apartment), indicating the address, floor, area, purpose, as well as registration and inventory numbers;
• information about part/parts of the premises (when separating separate premises from it);
• conclusion of a cadastral engineer (for entering data into the cadastre).

The graphic part shows the floor plan of the building, with the plan of the apartment itself marked on it.

Appendices to the Technical Plan usually include a completed declaration on the property and a Technical Passport (if one was issued before 01/01/2013).

order a Technical Plan of an Apartment by contacting the local (territorial) branch of the Cadastral Chamber of Rosreestr, or a specialized commercial organization that has certified cadastral engineers on its staff.

Preparation of a Technical Plan for an apartment is possible only when the entire house/building (for example, a new building) has already been registered in the cadastral register. The same as in the case of the Technical Passport

, when preparing
the Technical Plan, a visual inspection and control measurements of the apartment may be required.
A paper copy of the Technical Plan is handed over to the customer (the owner of the apartment), and its electronic copy is sent to the Cadastral Chamber.

At the same time, according to the law, the period for registering an apartment with the cadastral register is 5 working days (the current deadlines are here), but the period for preparing the Technical Plan is not regulated. In practice, the development time for a technical plan for a premises (apartment) takes from one to five days.

What services does BTI provide to the population?

The bureau provides citizens with information on issuing certificates and technical passports, services for inspecting real estate, assessing the condition and assessing the value. It also registers capital construction projects, issues technical reports, and archives data.

Important! The cost of services depends on the region where the Bureau is located.

Citizens can obtain information about real estate - address plan of the territory, cadastral and technical passports, site plan and more. For an additional fee, documents will be prepared urgently.

The Bureau also issues certificates and extracts containing data about the object. They are provided upon application by the person. The application is submitted directly to the Bureau or on the government services website. Please check the received data carefully, as errors are possible - the address is indicated incorrectly or the graph is drawn.

How to get a BTI passport

To obtain a BTI passport, you need to prepare a package of documents. It includes an application (a sample is usually provided by a realtor), an identification card of the owner or a power of attorney, as well as papers confirming ownership. You can submit papers in three standard ways:

• Actually in the BTI, by contacting the responsible employee.
• Through MFC. There they will help you prepare all the documents, but the time frame for issuing certificates and passports will increase by 2-3 days.
• Online through State Services. In some regions, you can make an application through the BTI website; for Moscow residents there is the mayor’s portal, where you can order almost any document.

You won’t be able to order all possible BTI services online, but you can order a technical passport. But the redevelopment project will have to be certified in person.

On average, BTI issues documents within 20 working days, sometimes up to a month. It all depends on what exactly and for what object you need. For a technical passport you will have to pay about one and a half thousand, for an extract - 600 rubles, for certificates - from 100 to 300 rubles, depending on the content.

Now you know what BTI is, what it means and what this organization does. If necessary, you can use their services. But practice shows that it is easier to entrust this task to a realtor. This way, you will save time on preparing applications and documents and will be able to plan renovations in your new apartment, rather than running around with documents through authorities.

Differences between a technical passport and other documents

You can confuse a technical passport for an apartment with a technical plan or cadastral passport. These are three different documents:

1. The technical plan includes technical information about the object, reference to the building and area, and contains a satellite photograph with the location of the object.
2. The cadastral passport contains information displayed in the address register, as well as the object number in the unified building registration system.
3. The BTI technical passport is a plan indicating the length of each wall in the apartment, listing absolutely all rooms, and the location of utilities.

The technical passport is the primary main document containing comprehensive technical information about any apartment. To register it for an apartment in a new building, you need an architectural plan from the developer . Here's what it looks like:

This is what the information on the house looks like from the cadastral passport :

Here is an example of a technical passport :

Clients

BTI employees report data on real estate objects upon request to executive authorities or individuals who have ownership rights to the object. Information is necessary when registering real estate transactions and obtaining a secured loan. Certificates are issued upon presentation of a passport and a receipt for payment of state duty. A month is allotted for the preparation of the certificate from the date of submission of the written application. The certificate is valid for a certain period. This must be taken into account when collecting a large number of documents. Certificates prepared by BTI specialists can be obtained at the MFC or through the public services portal.

Redevelopment of the premises

Carrying out construction work to change the configuration of housing or the purpose of premises is considered redevelopment. All these operations can be carried out only on the basis of permission received from local authorities. Redevelopment without approval and changes in technical documentation leads to the imposition of penalties on the owner of the premises. In addition, he cannot sell, donate real estate, or use it as collateral. After construction work, you need to invite a BTI specialist. He will record the changes and draw up a certificate to correct the technical passport.
