Distances between wooden buildings and other objects on the site

Minimum setbacks from the boundaries of the land plot to the existing building on the territory have a very significant role in Russian legislation and civil rights, so they cannot be neglected, as this is fraught with serious consequences. This question should be asked at the construction planning stage, so that later you will not have problems either with government agencies or with the owners of neighboring properties, which is even more unpleasant. For each building, certain requirements and standards are established and recorded. For legal construction, it is not enough just that the building is located within the boundaries of the site that belongs to the initiator of its construction. The rights of other persons may be violated, even if the building does not violate the boundaries of the territory.

Such difficulties are often encountered by citizens who engage in unauthorized construction, try to obtain permission to put a facility into operation, or re-register real estate that was purchased decades ago or purchased through a transaction. Here one should be guided by more than one regulatory act. It is of great importance what kind of real estate we are talking about, what material was used in its construction, and in what year the building was built.

What to follow?

Regardless of whether we are talking about developing project documentation, resolving conflicts or making any changes, it is necessary:

• Carefully study the standards for the placement of real estate on the territory of the land plot, referring to the set of rules for construction and design. If we are talking about a residential building, then you need to pay attention to sanitary rules and regulations, and if about country and garden buildings, then also to fire safety standards;
• Draw up a detailed master plan, taking into account the established norms of the acts listed above;
• Obtain topographical images of the object that will display all the buildings on the site (gaps between them and the boundaries of neighboring lands are required).

All existing facilities must be used exclusively in accordance with their intended purpose.
The law is especially strict for conducting commercial and entrepreneurial activities on lands that are not intended for this. It follows that the category of land also plays a significant role in starting construction and legitimizing the real estate on it. If some buildings can be hidden without conflicts with neighbors, then in the situation with a residential building everything is much more complicated. Dear readers!

Construction standards for garden plots in 2020 in SNT

The abbreviated name is SNT.
Their development is regulated by SNiP 02.30.97. However, such non-profit organizations often have their own charter, approved by the competent services. In some cases, it is even possible to leave areas without a fence. The height of the street fence in garden associations should not exceed 2.5 m. There are no restrictions on the materials.

The adjacent fence is made of translucent elements at a height of up to 2 m. Moving it unilaterally is prohibited.

If outbuildings on two plots are located quite close, then with the permission of the neighbors it is allowed to go slightly into the neighbor’s territory. However, this should not become the reason for blocking the passage for residents, the passage of transport, or blocking access to communications.

Since the fence is not installed for one year, any changes or agreements should be recorded in writing and notarized.

The possibility of construction is confirmed by a document establishing ownership of the land. There are several of these documents, and they are drawn up in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. Agreements of lease, inheritance, purchase and sale and donation have equal legal force.

People who own a plot in SNT on the basis of a membership book are not endowed with such rights. The purpose of the land plot must be indicated on the papers, since the construction of residential buildings is permitted only in private household plots and individual housing construction.

Possessions that are designated under SNT or DNP (dacha non-profit partnership) in size over 50 hectares require adherence to the general plan - an indicative development scheme in the region.

The possible types of buildings are influenced by the purpose of the land plot. The legislation defines the following types:

1. Dachas are land plots that should be used for organizing recreation areas, growing crops and animals. The latter is not a mandatory requirement.
2. Land for individual housing construction (individual housing construction) - in these areas it is allowed to build residential buildings with a height of no more than 3 floors.
3. Land for agricultural activities - it is prohibited to erect residential buildings here. The buildings are intended for conducting primary activities, with the exception of territories belonging to peasant farms.
4. Private household plots are also intended for economic activities. The height limit for buildings is the same 3 floors.
5. Garden partnership (SNT) - the main territories are allocated for growing agricultural crops. All residential buildings are used seasonally and are not connected to centralized heating systems.
6. Forest fund - only recreational and sports facilities are allowed to be built here.

If the size of the garden plot is the standard 6-12 acres, then it is allowed to build on no more than 30% of the plot area. Development is carried out in strict adherence to the land plan.

Its main component is the boundaries of the land plot, the fence, indicated on paper with a red line. The maximum height of the fence is 1.5 meters.

When agreed between neighbors, the size can be increased by the agreed value

Location requirements

To establish or verify the correct location of a house and other buildings on a plot of land, the following regulatory requirements should be taken into account:

• For private houses, it is mandatory to maintain a distance of at least five meters from the outer wall to the street line and at least three meters to the traffic line;
• For non-residential and utility premises, the distance to the street and roadway should be no less than five meters;
• The distance between the windows of the building and the walls of neighboring buildings, whether residential or non-residential, is at least six meters;
• The distance from the house to the border of the neighboring plot is at least three meters, from the premises for keeping livestock - four meters, from economic facilities - a meter.

In this case, not only real estate objects, but also shrubs or trees must be taken into account. Their own rules apply to them. So, they cannot be planted at a distance closer than four meters from the border of the neighboring territory.

To take into account fire safety:

• If the buildings are wooden, there should be a distance of ten to fifteen meters between them.
• If objects are built of stone, a distance of six meters is acceptable.
• Buildings with an increased risk of fire should be located at a distance of six meters from the border of the neighboring plot.

Distance between houses on adjacent plots

The standards for different regions are different. The following areas are distinguished:

• Village;
• Estate type development;
• Urban area.

In addition, there are different standards for the distance between residential buildings and commercial buildings. It is also necessary to take into account that the standards may vary depending on whether the buildings are located on the same site, or whether they are located in neighboring areas. Distances are calculated depending on the following factors:

1. What is the purpose of the buildings: barn, non-residential and residential premises. Depending on what buildings we are talking about, the distance should be at least one meter from the fence built by the neighbors.
2. Depending on the materials that were used in the construction of the house. Materials are divided into those prone to and non-flammable. It is clear that buildings made of materials that are easily flammable should not be located too close. For example, if we are talking about wooden counters, then they should not be closer than 15 meters from each other. But if we consider houses made of stone, in particular brick, then the distance between them should be from 6 to 8 meters.
3. A lot depends on sanitary conditions. If utility buildings are installed on the site, then the distance between them, the neighbors’ houses and the house located on the site in question should be at least 6 meters. And if birds and other livestock are kept in outbuildings, then the distance should be at least 15 m.

Features of certain objects

No less significant are the minimum distances from the garage to the border of the site owned by another owner.
In accordance with sanitary and household requirements, the garage is classified as a group of other non-residential buildings, so they can be built at a distance of at least a meter from the boundary with neighbors. More details about these requirements can be found in the set of rules regarding the planning and development of dacha territory. The minimum distances to the border of a neighboring plot for a residential individual house located on a personal plot of land are regulated not only by the above-mentioned regulations. It is important to take into account here that the rights of the population regarding real estate are equally protected by law. When conflicts or other issues arise, articles of the Civil, Urban Planning and Land Code of the Russian Federation come to the rescue. For example, the Civil Code clearly states that the owner has the right to dispose of his land freely in accordance with its intended purpose, without causing damage to other persons. This is why minimum distance regulations are so important. For this purpose, the Code of Design and Construction Rules was approved.

Distance between houses on individual housing construction plots

A land plot for individual housing construction is an area intended for development, or land on which buildings are already located. This land is restricted from other plots. Only one residential building can be built on one such plot. By the way, a residential building can be considered a building in which there are no more than three floors and only one family lives in it.

The distance standards between houses on the site itself and between houses on neighboring sites are slightly different. Much depends on the flammability of the materials from which the houses were built.

• 
  The safest house can be considered a structure made of non-combustible materials, namely: stone, concrete and reinforced concrete. The distance between such buildings is 6 meters. Thus, neighbors can build houses almost next to the property line;

• If nearby buildings are built from non-combustible materials, but at the same time have ceilings made of wood or other materials prone to fire. In this case, the gap between neighboring residential buildings must be at least 8 meters;
• If houses are built from flammable materials, for example, wood, then the distance should be at least 15 m. Although some sources indicate that the distance may be slightly less - only 10 meters;
• If one house is made of stone, and on a neighboring plot of individual housing construction the house is made of a combined building material (partially prone to burning), then according to the rules the distance between them is 8 meters.

By the way, the calculation must be carried out from the protruding parts of the structure - that is, from the ends, balconies, platforms, roof overhangs, terraces and more. If a garage is attached to the house or is part of the structure of the house, then you need to measure the distance from it.

How to define clear boundaries?

At the stage of drawing up a plan before starting construction of a house or other building, it is important to focus on the so-called red lines.
They mark the boundaries separating land plots from each other. It is strictly forbidden to enter behind them. These same lines show exactly where buildings can be placed, and where there is public territory on which construction is prohibited. To determine their passage, you must submit a request to the territorial department of the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning. The request is submitted in the form of an application in which the civilian asks to provide him with information from the information system. This is a paid service that can be paid at any bank. The amount of the state fee will depend on the region in which the request is submitted. In general, the size fluctuates around a thousand rubles.

If a house or other building is located directly on the red line, then this is a violation of the rights of third parties. However, if the object was built before the red lines were determined, no one can blame the owner of the real estate for anything. Otherwise, they will be required to move the object or demolish it completely.

Types of fencing

A wide range of building materials allows you to install an inexpensive fence both from the street and to protect yourself from neighbors in order to hide from prying eyes.

Let's highlight the most popular and affordable types of fencing:

1. Shield. It is assembled from wooden boards fastened to a frame made of timber. Has the shape of a rectangle. The standard length is 1.8 m. The material on the board is located horizontally or vertically. Sold ready-made. However, they should be treated with antiseptics and fire retardants. A popular species is pine.
2. Trellis. Decorative, but not protective fencing. Wooden slats are connected to each other into squares. The trellis requires painting.
3. Palisade Available for sale in rolls. Wooden stakes are installed close to each other. Can be reinforced with steel wire. The fence is quite strong, but not very attractive to look at.
4. Rabitz. It is used as a fence when arranging a barn, a place for walking livestock, poultry in the village. It is not practical to use in the city, since the entire yard will be clearly visible.
5. Fence. You can build such a fence low, up to 10 cm, as a fence for a flower bed, or high, to close the area from the street. Wooden planks are placed vertically and nailed to horizontally laid beams.

Fences made of corrugated sheets, metal with forged elements, brick, and stone will cost much more. Such a fence will be more reliable, durable and beautiful.

If a fence is installed to separate two vegetable gardens, then its height and design should not block the flow of light or disrupt air exchange. Chain-link and picket fence are well suited for this.

It is worth highlighting situations when, before building a fence, owners need to obtain permits from the relevant services:

• the boundaries of the territory are not included in the cadastral plan;
• the land is located in the vicinity of architectural monuments and industrial facilities;
• The building area is quite small and because of this it is not possible to adhere to GOST standards.

In the latter case, BTI employees who understand all issues related to home ownership can help.

What happens if the norms are violated?

The list of requirements for the distance from the house to the border of the site or other objects is very long, so few people know it by heart or are interested in it until the need arises.
In addition, rules and regulations change periodically, and what was a few years ago may no longer be relevant today. Since ignorance does not exempt from liability, if violations are detected, the owner will be required to bear full responsibility in accordance with the law. Such errors become known when concluding any official transaction, transferring ownership rights, as well as when conflicts arise. The least you will have to get away with is an administrative fine if fire, sanitary or construction requirements were violated. Litigation becomes completely undesirable. The court may decide to demolish the object without any financial compensation. In extreme cases, you can get away with monetary compensation to the plaintiff for the damage caused, but usually this is a very large amount.

Sanitary standards

The law on the construction of a private house is not limited to fire safety measures. The distance between residential buildings according to SNiP is also controlled by sanitary standards. For example, there should be at least 8 m from the neighbor’s house to your bathhouse. The same distance from the well to the toilet. But from the neighbor’s house to your restroom - all 12 m, no less.

Standards for the distance between the building and the fence

A neighbor’s fence should be located no closer than 3 m from your house, no closer than 4 m from an outbuilding for small livestock or a chicken coop, and no closer than one meter from any other buildings on your site.

The location of vegetation is also regulated. The neighbor’s fence should be no closer than 1 m from your lovingly planted shrubs, 2 m from low-growing trees, and 4 m from medium-sized trees.

Note. Paved paths must occupy at least 30% of your territory, this is also stated in the rules.

Another important rule concerns the drainage of rainwater from the roof. It cannot be built in the direction of a neighbor’s house if at least one building on your site is located just one meter from the neighbor’s fence.

Gas supply and sewerage

If gasification of the site occurs from bottled liquefied gas installations, then cylinders with a volume of more than 12 liters must be located in separate non-flammable booths; they must be built no closer than 5 meters from the entrance to the main building.

The distance between private houses during sewer construction is not so important as the location of special structures within their site.

If there is no drainage system, then you can build an outhouse latrine (it is also called a house of an unknown architect) or install a dry closet. Such structures must be located at least one meter from the fence.

For domestic wastewater, you need to dig a filter trench and fill it with gravel and sand. Such a trench cannot be located closer than one meter from the edge of the site.

How to peacefully resolve a conflict?

Situations where the owner of real estate was not aware of the building placement standards and ended up building a private house or garage too close to a neighbor’s fence are not uncommon. The owner of a neighboring plot has the legal right to file a claim in court. To prevent this from happening, you should try to negotiate with him peacefully. Regardless of whether it is a simple agreement, a material payment, or some other compromise, the agreement between the parties must be documented and certified by a notary. This is the only way a violator can truly protect himself from legal proceedings. The signed agreement will indicate that no one has any claims against the violator. All terms should be stated in the agreement so that there is nothing to complain about.

If a peaceful agreement cannot be reached, you should turn to the rules that were in force on the territory of the Russian Federation at the date of construction of the structure. Since they have changed several times, it is quite possible that in fact there is no violation.

Responsibility for non-compliance with building regulations

Often, ignoring the requirements of current legislation leads to quarrels between neighbors, lengthy trials, and the imposition of fines. To avoid such a situation, even before the start of construction, all issues related to the distances from buildings to the fence should be agreed upon with them. This is especially true for situations when permission is required to go a little onto their site due to the small area of ​​yours or it is necessary to replace the old adjacent fence with a new one higher. Such civil agreements are notarized, and even if your neighbors change, there will be no claims against you.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the distance at which floor joists are laid

If the disagreement cannot be resolved peacefully, then the most effective way is to contact the prosecutor’s office with a written request to check the legality of the location of buildings and a fence on a neighbor’s property.

Compliance with legal norms is reliability and a guarantee of the legality of the development, the absence of claims from other parties, the ability to avoid lengthy litigation, saving time and health.

Neighborhood with a legal entity

If the plaintiff is not a specific citizen, but a legal entity, for example, the management of a non-profit gardening partnership, of which the defendant is a member, there are only two options for resolving the conflict - a fine or demolition of the building with the return of the territory to its previous appearance.

You should not immediately comply with the requirements of the chairman of the partnership. First of all, it is necessary to carefully study the SNT charter. It should contain a clause about such violations, with a description of what preventive measures are applicable in such cases. If there is no clause on fines, then the partnership participant is not obliged to pay. If the chairman wants to punish the violator, he must convene a commission that will draw up an act of non-compliance of the building with the standards and submit it to the court.

Do not delude yourself by hoping for the expiration of the statute of limitations. If no one complains about violating the minimum distances for a long time, this does not mean that liability can be avoided. Thus, Article 208 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation states that there is no statute of limitations when it comes to violation of civil rights and interests. That is, you can receive a summons to court in five or ten years.

Safe fire distance: norms and rules

It is quite difficult to completely protect yourself, but no one says that it is impossible. It is enough to have certain information regarding house construction standards. Simply do not place them too close to each other, so as not to increase the risk of a massive fire. All data is specified in SNiP 21-01-97 * “Fire safety of buildings and structures”, so before constructing a building, at least superficially familiarize yourself with these norms and rules.

The documents are periodically amended as more and more materials appear on the market that reduce the risk of fire. But one thing to remember about building codes is that your safety is a priority. It is human life that is most important, not the safety of the building.

Of course, for safety reasons, the fire distance between the house and other buildings plays an important role. For example, the distance between the bathhouse and the house is fundamentally important, since the bathhouse is a highly flammable object, because it is built from wooden beams, which can easily catch fire, and thereby harm the residential building not only of the owner of the site, but also of the neighbors.

We invite you to read: Investment Agreement - sample 2019

Therefore, it is very important to find a remote place for a bathhouse, and use it with peace of mind, without fear of a fine that will have to be paid for violating the rules. By the way, the standards concern the following provisions:

• Distances between houses (neighboring and own);
• Distances between any outbuildings;
• Distances between hedges;
• Features of the location of communications on the site.

Taking into account all these nuances, fire safety rules on the site are observed, so you can quickly and competently navigate in case of danger.

Fire safety distances between buildings and structures are regulated by fire safety standards SP 4.13130.2013. Compliance with the requirements of the joint venture contributes to compliance with Federal Law No. 123 “Technical Regulations on Fire Safety Requirements.” WITH

The same document provides a classification of buildings by type of use.

Cities and towns

Construction on the territory of urban and rural settlements is regulated by Federal Law No. 123.

Classification according to the degree of fire resistance is given in SNiP 21-01-97.

The distance between buildings is the distance between facades or protruding parts of external walls. If the wall is blank, it is permissible to reduce the fire gap by 20%. In areas with increased seismic hazard, the distance is increased by 20%. For structures built using the frame-panel method, the distance is increased by 20%.

If the wall of the neighboring building is fireproof, the distance may be less than 6 meters

In some cases, closing the gap is acceptable. To obtain consent to reduce the distance, the developer must provide compelling evidence. The justification for obtaining such permission may be:

1. The project provides for the construction of a fire wall.
2. It is planned to install a sound warning system and an automatic fire extinguishing system.
3. Window and door openings are not provided in walls with a fire resistance rating lower than 3-a.

Dacha partnerships

Fire distances between buildings, structures and structures on the territory owned by SNT or dacha associations, on plots allocated for individual housing construction, are specified in NPB 106-95. Primary requirements:

1. The fire break distance depends on the degree of fire resistance of the buildings. If the building is brick and the wall is blank, the distance can be reduced to 6 meters.
2. Between buildings constructed from materials of fire resistance class 5 there is a distance of at least 15 meters. If the gap is closed without authorization, punitive sanctions may follow in the form of deprivation of the right to build and dismantle what has already been built.
3. Provide necessary access to the house for special equipment. The width of the driveway is at least 6 meters, and this can include sidewalks and curbs.

According to fire safety requirements, it is prohibited:

• close fire lanes;
• install gas cylinders and other flammable objects at the entrance to the house.

If a residential building has several floors, approaches and entrances to each residential section must be equipped.
The fire safety gap between industrial enterprises and warehouses is regulated by clause 4.3 of SP 4.13130.2013.

The unit of measurement is meters. The fire break depends on the type of use of the building. In case of an increased degree of explosion hazard when storing combustible and flammable materials (oil, gasoline, paint and varnish products), the fire distance must be increased by 20%.

The distances from warehouses to industrial buildings and between each other during storage are not established:

• less than 1 ton of coal;
• flammable liquids up to 100 m³ and coal up to 1000 tons, if the warehouse walls are solid.

In buildings above 2 floors, stairs must be open and located on the outside

It is mandatory to have an automatic warning and fire extinguishing system.

In 2020, a resolution was adopted to change the fire safety regime in the Russian Federation. In particular, safety issues were raised on the territory of industrial and warehouse premises with explosion hazard categories A and B.

The main sanctions for violation of fire safety rules are set out in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 390 of April 25, 2012. In 2020, changes were made to it that relate to safety on the territory of industrial enterprises and liability for their violation.

As a rule, claims for violation of fire safety distances do not have a pre-trial settlement and are considered only in court. The identification of violations of this kind is carried out by forensic examination - land management, technical, construction and technical.

For similar claims in 2020, the following requirements are put forward:

1. Dismantling or moving a building under construction or already constructed.
2. Removing obstacles to the use of the site.
3. Recognition of the building as unauthorized construction. In this case, the building must be demolished.
4. Termination of the owner's rights.

Administrative responsibility is regulated by Art. 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Violations. According to her requirements, a fine will be imposed on those responsible:

• individual – from 10 to 15 thousand rubles;
• Individual entrepreneur or official – from 6 to 50 thousand rubles;
• legal entity – from 15 thousand to 1 million rubles.

If the destruction by fire has irreversible consequences (completely destroyed neighboring buildings, causing serious harm to health or death of people), the perpetrator is subject to criminal prosecution.
In this case, the sanctions will be as follows:

1. Art. 219 part 1 (causing grievous harm to the health of citizens) – a fine of 80 thousand or salary for a six-month period; up to 3 years of imprisonment; forced labor, 3 years of arrest or deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities for up to 3 years.
2. Art. 219 part 2 (death of citizens as a result of fire) - up to 5 years of imprisonment or deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities for up to 3 years.

In judicial practice, cases of this kind are a frequent occurrence. Therefore, fire safety requirements should be treated with due care and fully complied with.

Fire safety standards are calculated taking into account the fire resistance of buildings. If one of the buildings catches fire, neighbors should not be harmed. To find out what distance should be from one building to another, you should pay attention to the materials of the walls and roof.

Distances between residential buildings according to fire safety rules

From house to house, built entirely from non-combustible materials, fire distances must comply with SNiP standards. The interval between windows should be 6 meters. If wooden beams impregnated with protective compounds were used in the floor structures, the permissible distance increases to 8 meters. This also complies with insolation standards.

Often in holiday villages on neighboring plots there are wooden or frame houses that have the highest degree of fire hazard. The minimum distance between them should be 15 m. Then the flame from one building will not be able to spread to another, regardless of the direction of the wind.

Fire safety standards are the same, regardless of the purpose of the building. A livestock barn and utility rooms, including a detached garage, should also be located at a distance of 6–15 m. Ancillary buildings cannot be located in front of a residential building.

Table of minimum fire-fighting distances on sites in individual housing construction and SNT according to SNiP

The built-in garage must have a separate entrance. There should be a box of sand and a fire shield outside. A foam fire extinguisher is placed or hung inside near the gate.

The attached barn is separated from the house by a main wall. A separate entrance to it is located from the door of the house at a distance of 7 m. Passage from the house is allowed only for utility rooms made of fire-resistant materials. They can store equipment and various manual mechanisms.

Is it possible to register a house if the property line is less than 3 meters away?

We found out from the cadastral engineers what the situation is with cadastral registration if the setbacks from the boundaries of the land plot are not observed. When registering real estate, Rosreestr is quite tolerant of non-compliance with boundaries; moreover, as a rule, no one checks these boundaries. Things will become more difficult after the end of the dacha amnesty. (For more details on the validity of the dacha amnesty, see the article: “Extension of the dacha amnesty until March 1, 2021, new law 267-FZ of 08/02/2019”). The dacha amnesty has already ceased to apply (from March 1, 2020 to August 2, 2020). During this period, for cadastral registration it was necessary to contact the local administration and receive a notification that urban planning standards had been met. Without this notification, it was impossible to prepare a technical plan and accordingly register the rights to their buildings. In this regard, many summer residents have encountered difficulties in receiving the appropriate notification from the local administration and further registering the house with the cadastral register.

Distance to service facilities

In addition to sanitary standards for the construction of apartment buildings, SanPiN provides additional sanitary zones for buildings that are classified as local service facilities:

• the shops;
• clinics;
• pharmacies;
• cafe;
• post offices.

These are all enterprises aimed at serving the population, where residents of the microdistrict come 2-3 times a week. The width of the sanitary zone to a residential building should be 50 m.

The distance between the store and the residential building must be maintained, regardless of its number of floors. The sanitary zone is considered not only from the basement to residential buildings, but also the area for unloading cars that constantly bring goods is taken into account.

Standard distance from the fence

When determining distances to a residential building in the private sector, courtyards and plots are not taken into account. For example, a store placed between wooden houses can be located from the fence of any of them to a passage width of 5 m. This norm is valid for both SNT and individual housing construction.

The distance to the base of a brick house must be at least 50 m. If there is a barn, garage or other permanent structure on the site, the distance is determined from it.

Garage placement

On individual housing construction sites, garages are designed for 2 types of buildings:

• built into the house;
• free-standing.

In the case of combining a garage with a residential building, the standards for deviations from neighboring buildings are determined as for a residential building. Fire regulations require safety measures in the form of a fire extinguisher on the outside of the wall, a fire shield, sand and an emergency exit.

The distance between a residential building and a garage is at least 5 m from the one built next door and from your own home. The permissible distance can only be changed upward.

The garage is also located at a distance of 5 m from the front boundary. It is enough to step back 1 m from the side fence and ensure drainage from the roof onto your territory.
