Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Senators approved the law “On the recognition of rights to unauthorizedly seized land plots and buildings and structures built on them.”

The main purpose of the law is to regulate relations related to the recognition of rights to unauthorized occupied land plots and buildings erected on them.

The law establishes a specific procedure for recognizing rights to such land plots and buildings, as well as lease rights to unauthorized occupied plots on which individual residential buildings are built.

Grounds are provided for recognizing the right to lease on overoccupied land plots, plots with residential premises in the territories of horticultural and viticulture partnerships, as well as plots in small industrial zones.

In addition, the law stipulates the gradual entry of data and documents relating to unauthorized occupied land plots and buildings on them into an automated information system.

The senators noted that the adoption of the law will allow citizens and entrepreneurs to officially formalize the lease of unauthorized occupied land plots and recognize the ownership of buildings on these plots. This will help solve social and economic problems associated with connecting these buildings to utility networks.
