Land reform completed in Rezekne municipality
The Rēzekne municipality carries out the land reform tasks related to the application of land in use, ownership, examination of claims and determination of ownership or jurisdiction for all land units not registered in the Land Register.
According to the information contained in the State Land Service report, to 24.9.2015 The number of land units not recorded in the Land Register of Rezekne municipality is the following:
• 2465 land units for which land-based Commission opinions on the restoration of property rights have been adopted;
• 771 land units in legal possession of natural and legal persons;
8238 land units of the local government;
431 State-owned land units;
• 63 public water land units;
494 land units transferred for completion of land reform;
1343 land units transferred to the reserve ground fund.
According to data of the State cadastre information system of the immovable property, the total area of the land of Rezekne shall be 251655 ha. All immovable properties on which property rights are enclosed in the Land Register shall be 78,21 TP1T, the Land Register shall not contain 21,8 % land. The property rights of the local government have been enshrined in 2179 ha, but a large amount of work and resources must be invested in order for the local government to register 17677 ha of land on its own name.
The recorded data show that the volume of land-based land has increased over the year, but it should be noted that there are still many properties that have not been enshrined in the Land Register.
In 2005, a law on the completion of privatisation and privatisation certificates for privatisation and privatisation of State and local government property was adopted in order to complete the land reform and the people acquired land, which laid down tasks to be performed on land users within certain time periods. But the land-use rights were terminated for those who did not carry out the tasks relating to the land redemption. On this land, former land users could continue to use the pre-law of the statutory lease.
By using these rights within certain time limits, the former land may be purchased from the municipality, but not the cadastral value of the land, but at the market price. Currently, many such opportunities are also being used.
It should be recalled that the property which is not registered in the Land Register cannot be sold or donated, so properties must be arranged and ownership must be secured in the Land Register.
There is still much to be done in the area of municipal land and work continues.
On behalf of the local government, thank you very much for all 25 parish counsellors, all local government specialists and employees of the State Land Service who were involved and worked closely in the execution of the land reform labour-intensive process!
