Benefits for connecting gas to a private house in Moscow

Victoria Rybalko, partner at the Moscow law office Shcheglov and Partners, answers:

Such a requirement may be legal if the ownership of the gas pipeline is registered in the SNT, and the general meeting of its members initially decided on payment for connection to the gas pipeline for newly connected members of this SNT.

In this case, the fee for connecting to the gas pipeline can, among other things, reimburse the costs of its construction.

But this justification is not universal; in each specific case, the legality of the chairman’s demands to pay a fee for connecting to the gas pipeline is subject to legal examination, depending on the circumstances.

Gas connection benefits

The country's general social guarantees for all large families are regulated in accordance with the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation dated May 5, 1992 N 431. In all other regulations, assistance measures are left to regional discretion.

Thus, the Federal Law of March 31, 1999 N 69-FZ (as amended on July 26, 2019) “On Gas Supply in the Russian Federation,” namely Article 24, states that compensation to low-income citizens and their list by category is determined by individual regulations subjects of the Russian Federation, that is, territorial units.

But, again, as already mentioned, assistance in providing mainline supplies is voluntarily rationed and sized at the regional level.

For example, in Law No. 259-OZ of the city of Lipetsk and the region dated March 27, 2009, low-income people have the right to compensation assistance in the amount of 50% of the cost of gasification of a private house or apartment for large families.

Let us immediately note that the discount most often does not apply to the purchase of in-house gas equipment and equipment: boilers, stoves, gas pipes for laying internal branches, shut-off valves, gas hoses for temporary connections, or the purchase and installation of gas meters.

If the answer is positive, the family must meet the following criteria:

To have many children, i.e. with a certificate confirming your status;
Meet the parameters of the poor;
Own officially registered real estate. The property must be owned by applicants and built in an area where there is already a gas pipeline or where it is planned to be put into operation within the next year. The applicant must be registered in the property that is gasifying;
Previously did not receive assistance in gasification under this article;
Live in a region that provides assistance in gasification of buildings to large families.

It is very important to have a complete package of necessary documents with you. As a rule, these are originals; copies will be made on site.

Before submitting an application for government support, it is worth clarifying exactly what documents should be presented in advance, but usually these are:

Application written according to the form given to you (can be filled out on the spot);
Document confirming the identity of the applicant (passport);
Birth certificates of all children for whom a certificate of large families was issued;
Certificate of a large family;
Extracts/certificates from the place of study of children, military service upon conscription (if they pass and study);
Certificate about the composition of your family;
Bank statement (with a report on family income for 3 months);
Contracts with organizations on gasification work performed and work acceptance certificates, as well as payment receipts;
Bank statement with the applicant's personal account.

A refusal to partially compensate for the benefits spent may be made if the documents provided raise doubts.

You will also not receive help if you are deprived of the status of having many children and for other reasons that violate the procedure for providing state support.

You should not expect that the governing bodies will provide you with automatic support. This is a common mistake; inaction will lead nowhere. Without delay, go in person or call the social security authorities or the MFC to clarify the feasibility of collecting documents for compensation for gasification.

Gas subsidies in a private home: how to get?

Translated from Latin, it means help or support, and in the literal sense, subsidies are the financing of individuals and legal entities from the state budget, represented by the financial fund of a particular region. Thus, subsidies can be understood as providing benefits for certain categories of citizens and organizations.

The Budget Code of the Russian Federation fully regulates the provision of subsidies throughout the state. According to the content of this regulatory legal act, they can be presented in two versions:

interbudgetary transfer, the main purpose of which is solely to help replenish the lower budget
auxiliary funds from extra-budgetary funds intended for transfer to individuals and legal entities.

Thus, the subsidy can rightfully be considered full-fledged government assistance for those who are not able to make all the necessary payments on their own. There are a huge number of types of such assistance, as well as the mandatory payments themselves.

One of them is subsidies for gasification.

New rules for connecting gas to a private home: procedure and cost

Selecting the type of gas supply . If the residential heated area of the house does not exceed 250 sq.m., then fuel consumption is planned to be no more than 5 cubic meters per hour. This option falls into the first group and is the most popular for private housing.
Drawing up a draft technical specifications for gas . To do this, you will need to contact local gas workers with a number of documents. The application will be reviewed within a month and connection is possible only if the house is located near the main gas pipe (no more than 200 meters).
Technical connection to the main line . Upon positive consideration of all submitted documents, a technical connection to the gas main is carried out. This is carried out only by specialists from the relevant service. The cost of the work directly depends on the distance of the house from the installation site and the complexity of the installation; it ranges from 25-50 thousand rubles.
Home gasification project . Perhaps the most expensive procedure in the entire process. The project must take into account all equipment that will operate using blue fuel. The location in the premises of each device and the chimney are also indicated here. The cost of the project preparation service is quite high if you contact a private design bureau, but the time frame there is minimal. A project ordered from the city gas service costs much less, but then you will have to come to terms with the deadlines, which range from 3 to 6 months.
Installation work . Direct installation of gas equipment should be entrusted only to competent specialists. Be sure to sign a contract with them to complete all work.
Gas connection . Compliance with all conditions for installation and safe operation of gas equipment before connection is necessarily checked by gas workers on site. An application is made for this, and the wait is on average 2 weeks. The verification is confirmed by a receipt, with which you need to contact the gas service and wait for the conclusion of an agreement. At the same time, specialists go to the site, seal the meter and provide instructions on the safety of using gas equipment.

Heroes of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation;
persons with 1st and 2nd degree disabilities;
participants of the Great Patriotic War;
persons who have had negative consequences affecting their health and ability to work as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

With the entry into force of new amendments to the legislation, the time required for gasification of private residential buildings and, importantly, the cost of work have been significantly reduced. The advantage of gas supply at home is the ability to use boilers equipped with automation. A person can fully control the process of fuel consumption and set the temperature for heating the room when it will be comfortable and warm.

In the future, a subsidy is awarded for gas payments, this is very profitable and reduces the financial pressure of utility bills. Also, local authorities may issue monetary compensation for gasification of houses to WWII and labor veterans, large families, combatants, and disabled people. In order to receive this compensation, you need to submit an application, payment occurs within a certain time frame after submitting the application.

Comment: The gasification subsidy is only a measure to support citizens, so its amount is not comparable to the real cost of connecting gas. The amount of payment depends on the decision of local authorities, and applicants cannot claim a larger amount. Error: The applicant applied to the USZN for a subsidy to supply gas to a private house before he received permission for gasification from the authorized bodies.

Gas benefits for disabled people

Also, do not forget about the Federal Law “On Gas Supply,” which divides all gas consumers into categories. But in the overwhelming majority of cases, owners of private houses whose area does not exceed 250 m² fall into the 1st category, consuming no more than 5 m³/hour of gas (which is actually enough for optimal heating of a house of the specified area). Step-by-step procedure Initially, it is necessary to decide on the free time that the owner of a private house has, since the process of collecting and processing documentation is very long and includes bypassing many authorities. Now there are a sufficient number of companies on the service market that deal with the preparation of documentation, but the prices for the cost of work depend entirely on the nature and complexity of the work to be done. Thus, the average cost of services for registration of a full package starts from 100,000 rubles.
