Purchasing agricultural land: features
One of the fundamental aspects of the transaction is the obligation of the owner of the territory to use it strictly in accordance with the established category and type. The purchase of agricultural land is recorded in the Unified State Register of Real Estate Transactions. The procedure in accordance with which the transfer of an object to a new owner is carried out is established by Federal Law No. 122. One of the essential conditions that this law establishes is the preemptive right to purchase agricultural land by municipal and state bodies. In accordance with this provision, the seller of the plot must obtain a waiver from the specified organizations. This procedure is similar to a transaction with common shared ownership.
Advantages and disadvantages of land plots for peasant farms
Before you buy a plot of land for farming in the Tula region, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of the acquisition:
pros | Minuses |
1. Stable profit as a result of farming activities. | 1. The use of land for peasant farms is regulated by law. |
2. Increase in land value over time. | 2. Having become the owner of a farm, the owner of the land plot automatically receives the status of an individual entrepreneur, and therefore is obliged to pay taxes. |
3. It is allowed to erect various buildings, including residential premises, with further registration. | |
4. Farmers pay taxes on plots of land for peasant farms at a reduced rate (5 times less than the dacha tax). |
As can be seen from the table, there are much fewer disadvantages from a transaction for the purchase and sale of land plots for peasant farms than advantages. In addition, they are associated with the general nature of entrepreneurial activity. Of course, organizing a farm will require a lot of effort from the land owner, but with the right choice of land and a good business plan, the success of the enterprise is guaranteed.
How is the purchase of land processed?
The procedure for concluding a transaction is established by regulations. The main documents required for the purchase of land are a certificate of state registration of rights, a cadastral passport. The law also requires notification to the executive authority of the intention to sell the plot. The notification must be in writing. It indicates the cost of the plot, coordinates and size. In addition, the seller sets the period during which the offer is valid. According to current regulations, this period is no more than 3 months.
If the administration refuses to purchase the plot or does not notify the seller in writing of its intention to buy it, then the owner receives the right to sell his plot within a year at a price not lower than that indicated in the notification. If the essential terms of the transaction change, the owner is obliged to send a new notice. The purchase of agricultural land in violation of this procedure is not permitted. If such a transaction is concluded, it will be considered void. This provision does not apply to territories intended for private household plots, as well as to allotments that are formalized by donation or exchange agreements.
Some nuances
The first thing you need to pay attention to is that it is easiest to register a plot of land on which a residential building and outbuildings are built. If you register agricultural land, you may get a refusal.
The next nuance lies in the legislation. Until the end of December 2017, regulations are in force that allow all land plots to be registered as property without land surveying. Since January 2018, the land surveying procedure is mandatory and becomes paid.
Another nuance is a small legislative loophole that allows you to register ownership of a land plot without documents through the court. You can file a claim in court for recognition of ownership rights on the basis of constant use of the land over the past 15 years. This is the so-called property that does not belong to a person, but he has received ownership rights to it due to the fact that he has been constantly using it over the past 15 years.
Persons who register land without documents must pay the entire cost of geocadastral work. This is about 10-20 thousand rubles, depending on the region.
It is important to remember that registering a land plot is a labor-intensive process that requires a careful approach to collecting all documents.
The procedure for registering land for which there are no documents is provided for by current regulations. If you follow the tips and recommendations given above, this can be done with minimal financial losses.

It was said above that legislative norms require the new owner to use agricultural land in accordance with the established permitted category. These include, in particular, gardening, gardening, and gardening. A way out of this situation may be to register the owner as an individual entrepreneur who will engage in farming. In this case, the plot can be used not only for private plots, but also for the construction of a residential building with the possibility of living and registering in it.

Pricing
The cost at which agricultural land will be purchased is determined in accordance with various factors. The most significant of these is the permitted category. Since the markets of territories belonging to different groups develop in their own way, accordingly, the cost of plots located nearby, but having different types, can vary significantly. The purchase of agricultural land is carried out after assessing the terrain, soil composition, and water regime. The value of the land is determined by its fertility and factors of possible use (as arable land, pasture, and so on). Of all the possible options, the one that will allow obtaining the maximum economic result is selected.
What types of agricultural land are there?
The favorable ecological situation in the farmland areas attracts many city dwellers. The desire to own your own piece of land stimulates the purchase of such a plot. The main purpose of these lands is to maintain personal subsidiary plots, but, nevertheless, they can be used for the construction of a building, taking into account state standards. These lands are represented by:
- Pastures and hayfields;
- Forest belts and arable lands;
- Deposits;
- Fruit and berry plantings or buildings necessary for agricultural work;
- Roads and runs;
- Protective structures used for various purposes.
The state provides these lands for conducting educational, research, economic or scientific activities aimed at developing agriculture. All information about permitted use is regulated by the cadastral passport of the land plot.
Reasons for purchasing
The purchase of agricultural land is made after assessing its fertility. To determine it, a comparative analysis of indicators is carried out under similar climatic and agronomic parameters and the same intensity of cultivation of the area. This procedure is called soil grading. It is quite complex and labor-intensive. In this regard, the purchase of agricultural land is carried out using already existing scales. They highlight the main characteristics that affect productivity.
In particular, these include the thickness of the humus layer, the level of clay fractions in the arable land, the nature of the reaction of the soil solution medium, and so on. Once the fertility and future use of the site have been determined, a profitable agricultural production model is being developed. It takes into account the likely costs of organizing the process and income from the sale of grown products for a specific time period (year, quarter, month, week). The indicator of the positive difference formed between expenses and income is discounted into current parameters and indicates the market price of the plot. Costs in this case include the purchase of equipment, wages for all employees, including the owner himself, interest on the use of capital and business income.
How can you donate and re-donate a plot of land? Features when donating a share or agricultural land
After the agrarian reform carried out in 1994, it became possible to dispose of land at your own discretion: buy, sell, donate, exchange. But at the same time certain requirements must be met. What conditions are set before registering a deed of gift?
Which plot can I donate?
Currently, there are the following forms of land use:
- rent;
- own;
- lifelong inheritable ownership;
- free term use;
- unlimited use.
But only their owners can donate plots. However, organizations and companies cannot make such a transaction among themselves. But an ordinary citizen has the right to receive land as a gift from a legal entity.
You can give it to a loved one or a stranger. The only difference will be taxes. In the first case, you don’t need to pay them, but in the second, you do. The tax amount is 13% of the cost of the plot. Therefore, it is important to indicate the cadastral price for it in the deed of gift.
In this case, relatives have tax benefits. This category includes:
- husband and wife;
- parents;
- children;
- grandparents;
- brothers and sisters.
You can also donate a plot to a minor, then the plot will be kept in the custody of his representative.
The peculiarity of the earth is its indivisibility. That is, it must completely become the property of the recipient and cannot be divided either in the event of divorce or after the death of the donor between his heirs.
But according to the law, they do not have the right to transfer plots of land into free ownership:
- under 18 years of age;
- incapacitated persons;
- those who have no rights to land;
- owning land in the border zone.
The following cannot accept land as a gift:
- civil servants;
- medical or social workers, if the donor is their ward.
The main condition is the written preparation of the deed of gift. Moreover, both parties must sign it.
If the recipient is under 14 years old, then his parents or guardians sign the document instead.
Is it possible to donate a donated plot of land?
From the moment of registration of the land, according to the Civil Code, the party that donated it loses ownership of the land, and the recipient, on the contrary, receives it.
Now the new owner has the opportunity to dispose of the site at his own discretion, including transferring the property.
To do this, he needs to correctly draw up another deed of gift, and the new owner needs to register the plot in his name.
Now a third party becomes the owner of the plot, who can also freely dispose of the land, for example, re-donate it again.
The process of transferring a plot free of charge, if desired by its owners, will be endless. The main condition for this is a correctly drawn up and registered deed of gift.
Donation of land share
According to the current legislation, any citizens or organizations can buy or sell a land share, but it can only be donated to other participants in the common ownership. To do this, you need to draw up a contract correctly, indicating the exact location of the land and register the document with the relevant authorities.
Donation of agricultural land
According to the Federal Law “On the Turnover of Agricultural Land,” the owner can make any transactions with his property. But at the same time, you need to remember that they only have the right to dispose of a plot of land, and not a share in the common property.
First, you need to allocate a plot of land on the ground, that is, carry out land surveying, order technical documentation, and register the plot. And only now it can be given to anyone.
The owners of a plot of land can transfer it free of charge to a relative, friend or stranger. Owners of only shares in common property must first allocate an allotment for themselves and only then will they be able to freely dispose of it.

Reasons for reducing the cost
The price will be significantly affected by the presence of a dilapidated structure, even if it is owned. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the possibility and cost of restoring the building for its subsequent operation or the necessary costs of demolishing it and removing the resulting construction waste. At the same time, the presence and condition of communications is taken into account. They can act as a set-off and increase the cost or, conversely, reduce it because they require repair or dismantling. The same applies to clearing arable land of bushes, uprooting trees, or leveling the landscape and filling holes and pits. In these cases, there are grounds for reducing the value of the territory in proportion to the expected costs. In this regard, determining the amount of required or necessary additional costs is of the same importance as assessing undeveloped plots.
What is a land plot without documents?
All land plots must have mandatory technical documentation. According to the Land Code, as well as the Federal Law “On Privatization,” citizens have the right to register land as their property only after a certain period of use (at least 3 years).
This can happen in two ways:
- privatization , that is, initially a person must use the land plot for some time, having received it for individual construction or agricultural work;
- purchase and sale , when land is purchased from municipal authorities or other citizens, land owners.
In this situation, you need to understand that the land, the circulation of which is permitted, is owned by municipal authorities, and they give permission for its sale or lease. Moreover, each land plot must have technical documentation, which will be discussed below.
The next point that must be paid attention to is that before registering a plot, a citizen or legal entity must use the land.
Use occurs on the basis of a lease agreement.
There are two types of rent:
- fixed-term , that is, a land property is transferred to a specific person for use for a certain time (3, 5 years), for a specific purpose (for example, building a house, or conducting agricultural work);
- indefinite , that is, the plot is given for indefinite use, and there is no need to renew the lease agreement, unlike the first option.
If a land plot has passed into the right of use of a citizen through squatting, or has not been formalized by the relevant administrative acts, it is considered ownerless and must be returned to the ownership of the municipality or to the legal use of the person.
Such legal situations often occur in our country, since according to statistics from the state register, as of 2020, only 50% of the land is registered.
Naturally, the concept of squatting (illegal use) implies full disposal of a land plot, without any documents.
It is interesting to know that until January 1, 2020, land surveying for individuals is completely free and is carried out at the expense of municipal authorities.
Common Misconceptions
The population's ideas about existing prices for plots are based on information provided in the media and the Internet about plots of similar location and area. However, in most cases, these data do not reflect the actual market value. The difference between the transaction price and the offer is called bargaining. Determining the adjustment indicator acts as one of the stages of any assessment using comparative approach methods. In this regard, it is not at all surprising that the transaction price and the initial cost of the property put up for sale may have significant differences. There are many reasons for the difference. One of the most important is the expected market dynamics. If it is growing, then even a five percent discount will be quite large. However, in the absence of forecasts for market growth and in the case when the decline is of a fundamental nature, the difference between the cost of the offer and the transaction itself can amount to several tens of percent.
Amendments to the Land Code will allow farmers to build houses on agricultural land
