The cadastral value is the basis for calculating taxes, determining rents and the price for which state land can be purchased into private ownership. According to the letter of the law, the cadastral value should coincide with the market value, but in practice it is often unreasonably inflated. This practice, which is quite logical for state authorities, is detrimental to the process of forming a healthy business climate.
Recently, the courts have been less and less willing to meet the needs of applicants in cadastral disputes against Rosreestr, but the RussianLegal team was able to achieve success by doing a lot of work both at the preliminary stage and during the court proceedings.
In particular, in response to Rosreestr's objections to the forensic examination, the RussianLegal team proved that when determining the cadastral value of a land plot, only its actual type of use should be taken into account. Thus, the possibility of using the disputed object for trading, not just warehousing activities, cannot affect its cadastral value upwards, as the authorized body erroneously claimed in court.
