The list may expand depending on the specifics of local legislation.
The free plots received must be used for the following purposes:

Carrying out gardening and gardening.
Organization of farming.
Construction of a residential building.

In addition to the list of preferential categories of citizens, there are national programs for the development of vacant land.

Arbitrage practice

Unfortunately, in practice there are often unlawful refusals to grant ownership of land plots. An example is the case of the Altai Regional Court, considered in 2021.

The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the Barnaul City Duma with a demand to recognize the illegal provisions of the Rules for Land Use and Development of the City District regarding the land plot classified as a sanitary protection zone.

The lawsuit states that the plaintiff used the land plot and the house built on it without permission for a long time. Previously, he appealed to the Land Resources Committee and asked to provide ownership of the land being used. However, the plaintiff received a refusal, justified by the fact that this land plot is located on the territory of the sanitary protection zone of the Northern Industrial District. According to the provisions of Russian legislation, the construction of residential buildings on the territory of such zones is prohibited.

However, the project of protective zones was not developed and the corresponding conclusion of the chief sanitary doctor of the Altai Territory was not issued. Thus, the court found that the land plot does not belong to the sanitary protection zone of the Northern Industrial Region and the provisions of the Land Use Rules are invalid. Those. the claim was satisfied. The provisions of the rules regarding the location of protective zones are not valid. And the plaintiff can re-apply to buy out the land plot and legalize the built house.
