OREANDA-NEWS  The Russian government has new powers. The State Duma gave the Cabinet of Ministers the authority to determine signs of non-use of land in settlements, horticultural and horticultural associations., RIA Novosti reports.

Now the owners of such land plots are obliged to use them for their intended purpose and start using them in a timely manner in cases when the period of development of the site is stipulated by the contract. But the period during which the use should begin, and the signs on the basis of which it is possible to unequivocally conclude that the site is not used, have not been legally established.

The initiator of the bill was Rosreestr. He suggests that land owners will have to develop them within three years. Otherwise, the land may be seized.

A similar decision on agricultural lands was made back in 2020.
