New law on SNT - changes in the rights and obligations of members of gardening associations and news on membership fees. Legislative framework of the Russian Federation Federal law on horticulture and partnerships

For a huge number of Russian families, working in their own garden or vegetable garden is their favorite form of leisure. The status of a summer resident gardener unites many people who have managed to turn work into leisure. Those in Russia are about half of the total adult population, especially in large cities. Leading, Moscow and St. Petersburg, surrounded by an endless suburban array.

On a modern map, you can count about eighty thousand gardening associations. These include dacha, horticultural and horticultural non-profit associations. The lands occupied by them bring about half of the berries and fruits, about a quarter of all vegetables and a fifth of potatoes grown in Russia.

Gardener or gardener?

Differences between gardeners, gardeners and summer residents are spelled out in No. 66-FZ dated April 15, 1998, which is called “On horticultural, gardening and country non-profit associations”. According to him, there are three types of land plots - country, garden and garden. Each plot in a gardening partnership is provided to citizens (or acquired) for a different purpose. Garden, as well as garden ─ to grow crops - vegetables, fruits or berries. Country ─ to relax. But when it is not forbidden to cultivate the land and grow crops.

A garden plot differs from a garden plot in that its owner is entitled to build residential and outbuildings, while the owner of a garden plot is not always.

About summer houses

In a residential building built on his own plot, a summer resident has the right to live with permanent registration - unlike a gardener.

Until 1990, on land plots with garden status, it was allowed to build buildings no higher than one floor and no more than strictly standardized sizes, which was reflected in the standard charter of a gardening partnership. The situation changed only with the beginning of the 90s, when these restrictions were declared unconstitutional.

Horticultural partnership

By law, gardening can be done on an individual basis. But practice shows that it is more profitable and more convenient for land owners to join forces. That is why non-profit organizations are being created on a voluntary basis, with the goal of helping participants solve common issues - economic and social.

SNT - a horticultural non-profit partnership - is a classic example of such an organization. It must have at least three members. A horticultural partnership is required to undergo state registration as a legal entity.

Charter is the basis of everything

The main document for the establishment of a non-profit association is its charter, which is adopted and approved at the general meeting. The charter of a horticultural partnership is developed on the basis of model provision taking into account local characteristics and needs.

Manages this non-profit organization whose powers are established by law No. 66-FZ of April 15, 1998, as well as the approved charter of the partnership.

About SNT management

The main governing body of the SNT is the general meeting, which elects the board by direct voting. Early re-election of the Board of Directors is possible only at the request of its members.

Meetings of meetings of authorized members of the partnership must be documented in minutes. Each protocol is signed by the chairman of the horticultural partnership and the secretary of the meeting. The document is sealed with the seal of the organization and is subject to permanent storage.

Who is a member of such an association?

By law, a member of a gardening partnership is any citizen of the Russian Federation over the age of 18 who owns a plot in this partnership.

Owners have the right to manage on their own territory (if the site is not withdrawn and not limited in circulation) and carry out construction on own plan. Being a member of the SNT, such a gardener receives both additional rights and responsibilities.

Duties and rights of members of the SNT

The right to be elected to the horticultural authorities (as well as to elect others) implies the ability to influence decisions regarding the common good. And duties that go hand in hand with rights require gardeners to obey the decisions of the general meeting and its board, use the site only for its intended purpose and protect the land from damage.

The entire list of duties is described in detail by the same law on gardening partnerships No. 66-FZ (Article 19). All the main questions and moments of the dacha life of Russians are given legal document governs in sufficient detail. In its eleven chapters, the forms of housekeeping (gardening, gardening or dacha) are established. The issues of land zoning, the nuances of providing plots for circulation and ownership, as well as issues related to the creation and liquidation of gardening partnerships, their management, the rights and obligations of members and management are considered in detail.

Issues related to horticultural partnerships are also addressed in separate chapters of the Town Planning and Land Codes of the Russian Federation, as well as in the Civil and Tax Codes.

About residential buildings on the plots

The Federal Law on gardening partnerships introduced the term "residential buildings", which was not previously mentioned in the Housing Code. According to the latter, this type of building is not considered an object of housing rights. But in fact, quite livable houses appeared everywhere on the lands of gardening associations, sometimes not just comfortable, but truly luxurious.

Back in the early 1990s, attempts were made to endow "garden houses" with the status of real housing. Federal Law No. 4218-1 of December 24, 1992 gave citizens who have their own buildings in garden or summer cottage plots the right to re-register them as private property as residential buildings. Of course, provided that they comply with the standards for residential premises. But from March 1, 2005, the new Housing Code abolished this privilege.

In 2008, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation allowed individual residential garden buildings to be attributed to the housing stock.

The procedure for recognizing one as habitable is rather complicated, and the subjects of the federation themselves regulate the grounds and procedure for recognizing buildings as permanent housing.

Help from the authorities

The state provides gardeners with all possible assistance, primarily by creating transport and social infrastructure. This includes the construction of shops and consumer service points, sports grounds and children's towns on the territories of SNT, assistance in organizing security, etc.

The most important issue for gardeners is transport accessibility. Usually, local authorities the authorities are trying to help not only in laying and repairing roads, but also in organizing bus routes, especially on weekends.

Collectivism or individualism?

In the presence of a certain number of those who prefer individual dacha management, the collective approach generally prevails. The law provides for members of associations the right to voluntarily withdraw with the conclusion of an agreement on the use of roads and other common property. Such contracts provide for the payment of contributions of a fixed amount.

Both members of horticultural associations and "free" gardeners are required to pay land tax.

And yet there are few individualists. SNT, like other types of non-profit associations, have proven their effectiveness and ability to adapt to the conditions of the time.

About entrepreneurial activity

Horticultural partnership, as already mentioned, That is, in this case, its members are united not for profit, but to satisfy personal needs for agricultural products.

At the same time, the charter of the partnership may provide for the possibility of entrepreneurial activity. At the same time, the profit received should be directed to the development of the organization and assistance to gardeners. Legal entities are not accepted as members of a gardening partnership.

Contributions of participants - types and purpose

The Law on Horticultural Associations explains what types of contributions exist for payment in such partnerships, and how they differ.

Entrance fees are understood as amounts paid by members of a non-profit association for paperwork and organizational expenses.

Membership fees - funds regularly contributed by members of the association for current expenses, for example, for wages employees under contracts (watchmen, electricians, etc.).

Target contributions - those that are made for the creation or acquisition of property for general use. This includes everything that is intended to provide on the territory of the horticultural association the needs of its members in water supply, sanitation, passage and passage, electricity and gas supply, heat, security, etc. These are roads, gates and public fences, water towers, boiler rooms, garbage sites, fire fighting facilities, etc.

About taxes

For the land of the association, SNT pays property tax. It is calculated depending on the area of ​​land of gardening associations minus the plots of those members who own them. Such owners pay tax on their own as individuals By tax notices Federal Tax Service. Land leasers pay tax through horticulture.

Other highlights

Along the border of the territory, the gardening partnership should be surrounded by a fence (you can do without a fence with existing natural boundaries - a river, a ravine).

From January 2019, a new law regulating the activities of horticultural and horticultural associations comes into force. At the same time, this law introduces significant changes thirty-nine laws that are in force on the territory of our country.

The task of the new law is to eliminate the problems associated with the conduct of gardening by associations of citizens. After all, according to rough calculations, more than sixty million citizens are engaged in gardening in our country. Innovations should eliminate not only administrative problems, but also create comfortable conditions for every gardener.

What is SNT

Federal Law No. 66-FZ “On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens” defines SNT as an association of citizens with the aim of obtaining dacha, horticultural or horticultural land plots and jointly conducting activities in such a territory. But the first article defines SNT as an organization created to assist citizens in the implementation of economic activities in the framework of horticulture and horticulture.

SNT is a legal entity that acts solely on its own behalf and is endowed with its own rights and obligations. This means that the members and the legal entity itself are separately liable for their obligations.

A horticultural or other partnership exists at the expense of contributions paid by its members in a certain period. With this money, the common property of the participants in the partnership is created, and the maintenance of such property is carried out.

The territory belonging to a horticultural non-profit partnership is a plot owned by members of the SNT, as well as a common area. At the same time, the legal entity has certain obligations in relation to the maintenance of areas for common use:

• the obligation to pay taxes for the common territory lies solely with the SNT, since the members of the partnership are charged with such an obligation only for their plots;
• gardening is obliged to carry out work on the maintenance of the common area;
• cleans the area, collects and removes garbage.

Horticulture is managed by members of the board, the chairman, as well as by the general meeting of members of a horticultural or other partnership.

Law on horticultural non-profit partnerships (SNT)

Until January 2019, the activities of horticultural, horticultural and dacha partnerships are regulated by Federal Law No. 66-FZ “On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens”. Since its adoption in 1998, it has undergone many changes, including taking into account the decisions of the courts.

The federal law establishes:

• a way of uniting citizens for the purpose of joint implementation of horticultural, dacha or horticultural activities;
• methods of granting land;
• form of management of a legal entity, as well as the rights of gardeners;
• forms of joint work with municipal authorities;
• the order of development of the territory.

Changes being made to other legislative normative acts in a number of cases had an impact on the scope of the rights of members of partnerships. An example is the introduction of the law "on dacha amnesty", which significantly simplified the procedure for registering the right to buildings located on gardening plots.

At the same time, a few years ago, it became necessary to change the legislation governing the activities of horticultural associations of citizens. In connection with the adoption in 2017 of a new regulatory framework in the field of horticulture, Federal Law No. 66-FZ “On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens” will cease to exist from January 1, 2019.

The main directions of the law on SNT

The current version of the law on SNT provides for several types of associations of gardeners:

• non-profit partnerships;
• consumer cooperatives;
• non-profit partnerships.

The difference between these forms is the procedure for exercising the rights and obligations of both the members of the association and the legal entity.

Federal Law No. 66-FZ is a special rule governing the procedure for granting land for horticulture or horticulture.

The law supplements the established procedure with the following provisions:

• establishes the maximum area of ​​plots for allocation to citizens;
• changes the procedure for obtaining possession of land with a special status;
• introduces the order of allocation of plots in the SNT.

In addition, the provisions normative act regulate in detail the rights of horticulture and its members, as well as the means of protecting these rights.

In accordance with article 20 of the said law, the governing bodies of the SNT are defined:

• general meeting of members as the main body;
• authorized associations, which include selected representatives from among gardeners;
• the board of the SNT as an implementation of the decisions of the general meeting;
• the direct execution of the powers of the SNT is carried out by the chairman.

Also, Federal Law No. 66-FZ lists ways to support SNT by municipal authorities and organizations.

This form of organization of horticultural activities in our country gave rise to many problems, the solution of which was proposed by creating a new law.

Among the problems are:

• a large number of organizational forms of associations;
• uncontrollable amounts of contributions, which turned into real extortions from horticulture members;
• difficulties with the registration and construction of residential buildings on the territory of gardening;
• horticultural members have to independently carry out some expensive communications to the site;
• municipal governments do not support SNTs.

What will change in horticultural partnerships in 2018

New changes in the organization of horticultural activities are introduced by Federal Law No. 217 “On the conduct of gardening and horticulture by citizens for own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”. The entry into force of the changes is set from January 1, 2019, but already from the beginning of 2018, many gardeners will have to restructure their activities.

First of all, the form of association of gardeners in cooperatives is excluded, since they are morally obsolete and are not used in fact in our country. Dacha associations of citizens are also excluded. The transition to new forms should be completed by the end of 2023.

Now, to create an SNT, you need to get more than three votes of the founders at the general meeting. Additionally, a list of all newly formed members of horticulture is compiled, indicating the cadastral numbers of the land plots belonging to them. At the same time, the minimum number of members of an association of citizens should be seven people.

The form of management of the partnership is changing, which will be carried out by the following bodies:

• general meeting;
• chairman;
• revision committee.

Along with the concept of residential premises, the category of a country house is found, which is intended for the temporary stay and residence of citizens, and the term "residential building" is excluded.

A new directional contribution system is being introduced:

• introductory;
• membership;
• target.

The law regulates in detail the purposes for which funds of each category can be spent.

For the convenience of connecting to utility networks, the concept of common property is introduced. This change is similar to the common property of an apartment building. Now all communications and engineering networks can belong to all gardeners on a common law, and their maintenance will be carried out by SNT.

Additionally, the territorial principle of the organization of the partnership is established. It is forbidden to create two or more associations on the same territory. This means that it is impossible to create an association of gardeners within a gardening partnership.

The rules for land surveying the territory of SNT have also changed:

• the total area may include lands of the municipality and common use;
• it is forbidden to restrict free access to the common territory located outside the borders of the SNT.

The rest of the law duplicates past provisions or adjusts the requirements of other laws to the specifics of dacha associations.

Pros and cons of the SNT law

Among the advantages of the new law are A complex approach to change the horticultural activities in our country.

• Preconditions for close cooperation with municipal authorities have been created. One of the advantages of such interaction was a simplified system of medical care for gardening members, as well as the provision of public services. In addition, now the repair of roads located within the SNT and the territory adjacent to it is carried out with the help of municipal funds.
• The exclusion of some forms of association of gardeners involves the creation of a transparent system of taxation and protection of the rights of all participants in the association.
• The introduction of the category of common property of gardeners should simplify the procedure for connecting to public utilities.

But the law also has its shortcomings, which so far stand out only in theory.

• The introduction of the concept of a garden house as a capital dwelling entails the possibility of registration at the address of the building. The consequence of this may be the impossibility of social renting apartments and exclusion from the queue for housing.
• Gardeners who own land on the basis of a membership book without registering with Rosreestr may encounter difficulties in legalizing their land. Since the requirements of the law on registration make it possible to exclude from the cadastral registration those plots for which the property is not registered. Such land will become the property municipalities and its owners will have to prove their right through the courts.
• Specific regulations have not been established for the performance of a number of functions of the SNT. Difficulties may arise, for example, with the decision to purchase shares in the common property of horticulture, for which it is necessary to ensure the mandatory presence and desire of all members of the horticulture.
• The transition period for the implementation of the changes is set until the end of 2023. However, from January 2019, horticulture must apply new requirements for the implementation of activities, many of which are not yet regulated by by-laws.

The federal law “On the conduct by citizens of gardening and horticulture for their own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as the new law), adopted at the end of July 2017 (No. 217-FZ), even by its name testifies to the changes caused by its appearance. 39 previously adopted legislative acts were subjected to changes and additions at once. Apparently, for this reason, the entry into force of the new law was postponed until January 1, 2019, with the establishment of a transitional period of 5 years from the date of entry into force to complete certain reorganization procedures.

The main goal of the new law, which replaced the Federal Law “On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens” (in connection with this, has become invalid No. 66-FZ), can be considered as an attempt to resolve the situations that have developed in the “dacha economy” of the country, in which, somewhere successfully, somewhere not very efficiently, 60 million gardeners, summer residents and gardeners work for their own benefit, and this, no less, is almost half of the Russian population.

The most painful problems that cause great criticism, as legislators found out during the preparation of the law, which began in 2014, were the following:

• the plurality of organizational forms of dacha and horticultural associations (DNP, SNT, various horticultural and dacha cooperatives and other options, all jointly representing 9 independent legal forms of non-profit associations of citizens created for country farming)
• malicious extortions in the form of membership and other types of contributions, not uncommon for many horticultural and dacha associations
• former administrative persecution for the construction of residential buildings on garden and summer cottages, and, accordingly, the impossibility of registration (registration) in capital buildings erected on plots that are absolutely suitable for living
• the high cost of drilling and building water wells in horticulture or in individual areas, the cost of which translates into impressive amounts (from 1 million rubles to 2.5 million rubles) and without which, in the absence of a centralized water supply system, staying at dachas becomes simply unthinkable
• the lack of real support from the municipalities for existing and emerging new dacha and garden partnerships to provide them with engineering communications.

How does not the dacha, but the “garden and garden constitution” solve problems?

In order to understand what changes the new law brought and how it affected the life of summer residents, we will review its main provisions, commenting on some features.

New organizational forms of non-profit associations of citizens for country farming

The new law excludes such a legal organizational form associations of citizens, as a "dacha non-profit partnership", in connection with which the Land, Town Planning, Water, Civil Codes, Housing RF, federal laws "On subsoil", "On non-profit associations", "On the general principles of organizing local self-government in the Russian Federation", "On state registration real estate”, “On Mortgage (Pledge of Real Estate)”, “On Specially Protected Natural Territories”, “On Agricultural Cooperation” and a number of other laws have already been introduced and will be further amended.

The use of the concept of dacha partnerships should completely disappear in 1.5 years, but it is unlikely that the words “dacha” and “dacha residents” habitual to hearing will disappear from the everyday vocabulary during this time. Well, they are very family. Historically introduced into life since the time of Peter I, who granted his entourage for their great services to the Fatherland land for estates in the magnificent environs of St. Petersburg, they came into use through the word "dacha", meaning the action of the king (as a derivative of the verb "give").

The new law eliminated the artificially formed and still existing distinction between dacha and horticultural partnerships created in accordance with the already mentioned Federal Law “On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens” and established only 2 types of legal status for suburban associations of citizens:

1. horticultural non-profit partnerships (SNT)
2. horticultural non-profit partnerships (ONT)

The rights of individuals who do not wish to enter into a partnership are set out below. In the meantime, let's look at what's new in SNT and ONT.

A horticultural non-profit partnership and a horticultural non-profit partnership are types of partnerships of real estate owners.

New garden and garden plots, as before, are formed from lands settlements or from agricultural land. Each garden or horticultural land plot may be included within the boundaries of only one horticultural or horticultural area.

Gardening or horticulture on garden or garden plots located within the boundaries of the territory of the partnership can be carried out by the right holders of the plots in the following organizational and legal forms:

1. with partnerships,
2. without partnerships.

In accordance with the new law, it is established that an association can be formed with a minimum number of members of 7 people (part 2 of article 16 of the new law). If the requirement for the number of members of the partnership is not met, then such a non-profit association may be liquidated by a court decision:

1. at the suit of the state authority of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation,
2. at the claim of the local government at the location of the territory of horticulture or horticulture,
3. at the claim of the owner or right holder of a garden or garden plot located within the boundaries of the territory of horticulture or horticulture.

Upon liquidation of the partnership, the property of the general use of the partnership (with the exception of real estate of common use, owned by the partnership and remaining after the satisfaction of creditors' claims), is transferred to the owners of plots located within the territory of the SNT or ONT:

• in proportion to their area,
• regardless of whether these persons were members of an association (paragraph 1 of article 28 of the new law).

The law also defines provisions regarding:

1. grounds and procedure for admission to membership in the partnership,
2. rights and obligations of members of the association,
3. grounds for termination of membership;
4. the rights and obligations of the governing body of the partnership,

to which several chapters and articles of the law are devoted, including Article 8, which reveals the main provisions of the Charter of the partnership.

The supreme body of the partnership is the general meeting of its members. It is valid if more than 50% of the members of the partnership are present at the meeting. Decisions of the general meeting of members of the partnership are made by a qualified majority of at least 2/3 of the total number of members of the partnership present at the general meeting.

The management body of each of the new types of partnerships is, in general, the same body, but with partially changed powers:

1. chairman, representing the sole executive body,
2. the board, which is a permanent collegial executive body with a maximum number of at least 3 people, but not more than 5% of the number of members of the partnership, which not only creates a certain convenience in the “management” of the board itself by the members of the partnership, but also reduces the amount of membership fees for the maintenance of the board with a reduced number,
3. audit commission (auditor), accountable to the general meeting of members of the partnership.

The board of the partnership is accountable to the general meeting of SNT or ONT. The management body will be elected for 5 years, and not for 2 years, as it is now and until January 1, 2019. Despite the noticeably longer term of its powers, by decision of the general meeting of members of the partnership, for the hack work of the chairman or negligent members of the board, it will be possible to remove and re-elect at any overdue moment.

A meeting of the board of an association is competent if at least half of its members are present. Decisions of the board of the association are made by open voting by a simple majority of votes of the members of the board present. In case of equality of votes, the vote of the chairman of the partnership is decisive.

Possibility of changing SNT to HOA

By decision of the general meeting of members of the SNT, the owners of garden plots have the right to change the existing type of association to a homeowners association (HOA). The organizational and legal form of a partnership of property owners in this case does not change, but the main requirement for such a procedure is the compliance of the HOA with the norms of the housing legislation of the Russian Federation, which regulates the creation of an HOA with the simultaneous satisfaction of the following conditions:

1. the gardening area is located within the boundaries of the settlement,
2. residential buildings are located on all garden plots located within the boundaries of the gardening area.

Changing the type of horticultural non-profit partnership (SNT) to a homeowners association (HOA) is not considered a reorganization (paragraph 2 of article 27 of the new law).

The possibility of changing SNT or ONT to another type of activity of the partnership

A horticultural or horticultural non-profit partnership may change the type of activity, again by decision of the general meeting:

1. for the production, processing and marketing of crop products,
2. other activities not related to horticulture and horticulture and allowing the creation consumer cooperative.

The creation of a production cooperative is a reorganization of the former organizational and legal form of SNT or ONT (paragraph 1 of Article 27 of the new law), which means that it requires changes to the USRN.

Is it necessary or not to change documents for legalized buildings during the transition period and after?

For the transitional period, which will last for 5 years, that is, until January 1, 2024, the new law defines the following provisions:

• DNP, dacha cooperatives, dacha farms, horticultural partnerships and other non-profit organizations of citizens created before January 1, 2019, do not need to be reorganized.
• From January 1, 2019, the requirements of the new law will apply to all previously created horticultural or dacha non-profit partnerships, as well as horticultural non-profit partnerships, even before their charters are brought into line with the new law:
  1. or in accordance with the provisions on horticultural non-profit partnerships,
  2. or in accordance with the provisions on horticultural non-profit partnerships.
• Bringing the constituent documents of horticultural or dacha non-profit partnerships and horticultural non-profit partnerships created before the introduction of the new law is carried out after the entry into force of the new law through the introduction of changes:
  1. in constituent documents (title establishing, charter and other documents) and registration of these changes in the USRN,
  2. changing the names of non-profit associations is not required, but can be carried out at the request of interested parties,
  3. changing the names does not require changes in title and other documents containing their former names.
• Buildings on garden plots registered in the USRN before January 1, 2019 with the designation "residential", "residential building" are recognized as residential buildings:
  1. replacement of previously issued documents with those registered in the USRN before 01.01. 2019 buildings or amendments to documents for them, changes in the USRN records, as well as replacement of the names of real estate objects are not required,
  2. replacement of documents and names of buildings can be performed at the request of the right holders of real estate objects.
• Non-residential buildings located on garden plots, buildings for seasonal use, intended for recreation and temporary stay of people and not being outbuildings and garages, registered in the USRN before 1.01. 2019, are recognized as garden houses:
  1. replacement of previously issued documents with those registered in the USRN before 01.01. 2019, these buildings or amendments to the documents for them, changes in the USRN records, as well as replacement of the names of objects are not required,
  2. replacement of documents and names of the listed buildings can be performed at the request of their right holders.

Register of partnership members

The distribution of plots among the members of the partnership is carried out on the basis of a decision of the general meeting of members of the partnership in accordance with the register of members of the partnership.

Garden and garden plots of land, which are in state or municipal ownership, are provided to citizens free of charge in cases established by federal laws, laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The register of members of the partnership must be formed within 1 month from the date of state registration of the SNT or ONT in the USRN (Article 15 of the new law). The register is created by the chairman of the partnership or an authorized member of the board.

The register of partnership members contains the following information:

1. about the members of the association,
2. cadastral (conditional) number of each land plot, the owner of which is a member of the SNT or ONT (after the allocation of land plots between the members of the partnership).

Members of the partnership are obliged to provide reliable information necessary for maintaining the register, and promptly inform the chairman of the partnership or an authorized member of the board of changes in information.

Failure to comply with the requirement to provide information, a member of the SNT or ONT bears the risk of imposing on him the costs of the partnership associated with the lack of up-to-date information in the register.

The principle of territorial subordination of partnerships

The law introduced the principle of territorial subordination, which prohibits the operation of several partnerships with a common infrastructure and one common area on the same territory. In other words, Garden community cannot appear inside the garden.

The purpose of introducing this principle is quite obvious:

1. exclusion of situations of “pulling” advantages in the use of, for example, a transformer box owned by one legal entity and a fire reservoir owned by another legal entity, that is, located on the territories of different legal entities(partnerships), but providing electricity and water to each of these partnerships,
2. establishing legal relationships between partnerships for the use of engineering infrastructure and common areas,
3. management of common property within the boundaries of the territory of gardening or horticulture can be carried out by only one partnership.

Since the introduction of the new law into force, the owners of garden or garden plots located within the boundaries of the territory of the SNT or ONT have the right to create only one horticultural or horticultural non-profit association. Its boundaries should be determined in accordance with the territory planning documentation:

• prior to its approval by the municipal authorities, the documentation on the planning of the territory must be approved by the decision of the general meeting of the members of the partnership,
• preparation and approval of a territory planning project for a gardening partnership is not required, and the establishment of the boundaries of garden land plots and the formation of garden land plots and land plots general purpose within the boundaries of the territory of the ONT are carried out in accordance with the approved project of surveying the territory.

The boundaries of the territory of horticulture or horticulture, when preparing documentation for the planning of the territory for the partnership, include land plots that simultaneously meet the following requirements:

1. the plots are owned by the founders of the partnership,
2. plots constitute a single, inseparable element of the planning structure or a set of elements of the planning structure located on the territory of one municipality.

When forming new horticulture and horticulture and preparing documentation for the planning of their territory, the boundaries of their territories also include:

1. plots that are in state or municipal ownership and not provided to citizens and legal entities (their total area must be at least 20% and not more than 25% of the total area of ​​garden or garden land falling within the boundaries of the horticulture or horticulture area),
2. plots and territories of common use, determined in accordance with land legislation and legislation on urban planning (the formation of general-purpose land plots is carried out in accordance with the approved land surveying project).

It is prohibited to establish the boundaries of horticulture or horticulture territories that restrict or terminate free access from other land plots to common areas, or to public land plots located outside the boundaries of the territories of partnerships being formed.

Common property in SNT and ONT

One of the tasks of SNT and ONT is the management of common property located within the boundaries of the territory of gardening or horticulture and owned by members of the partnership.

Common property located within the boundaries of the territories of horticultural or horticultural associations includes real estate that simultaneously meets the following 2 conditions:

1. the property was created or acquired after the entry into force of the new law,
2. this property belongs to the owners of land plots on the basis of the right of common shared ownership in proportion to the areas of their plots.

Such property, represented by capital construction projects and general-purpose land plots, is used exclusively for the needs of gardeners and gardeners.

The list of needs includes:

1. passages and driveways to the territory
2. supply of heat and electricity, water, gas
3. drainage
4. security
5. collection of municipal solid waste and other needs
6. movable things created (created) or acquired for the operation of a horticultural or horticultural non-profit partnership

General purpose land plots related to common use property are formed during the development of documentation for the planning of the territory of gardening or horticulture.

Owners of land plots located within the boundaries of the territory of horticulture or horticulture use general-purpose land plots for passage and travel to their land plots on the following conditions:

1. free,
2. without charge.

No one has the right to restrict the access of right holders of plots to their land plots.

The main goals of creating public property by the new law include:

1. use by all right holders of land plots located within the boundaries of the SNT or ONT territory for their own needs,
2. placement on common areas of other common property (for example, sports or children's playgrounds, their equipment, etc.).

Common property of an SNT or ONT may also belong to the partnership on the basis of ownership or other right permitted by civil law.

After registration of the partnership in the USRN, the owners of the plots included in it can decide at a general meeting with the presence of 100% of the members of the SNT or ONT on the desire to acquire shares in the common property in the property, moreover, free of charge and without allocating a share in kind.

After registration in the Unified State Register of Real Estate Rights of ownership of a share of common property on the territory of the partnership, each of the owners of such a share inevitably increases its tax base.

By decision of the general meeting of members of the SNT or ONT, public property can be transferred free of charge to the municipality or to state property of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in whose territories the partnership operates, subject to the following conditions:

1. the general meeting of the members of the partnership decided to transfer the property,
2. property, by law, may be in state or municipal ownership,
3. there is the consent of all owners of garden and garden plots, who have also issued the right of common shared ownership of common property to transfer it to the municipality or state property.

Execution may not be levied on immovable property of common use owned by the partnership. In the event of liquidation of the partnership, such property is transferred free of charge to the common shared ownership of the owners of garden or garden plots of land located in SNT or ONT, in proportion to their area. The transfer is made regardless of whether the owners were members of the partnership (paragraph 2 of article 28 of the new law).

Transactions with shares in the right of common ownership of common property

In transactions with garden and garden plots, accompanied by the transfer of ownership of these real estate objects, the share in the common ownership of the common property from the previous owner passes to the new owner.

The owner of a share in the right of common ownership of common property does not have the right to:

1. alienate a share separately from the ownership of your garden or garden plot,
2. perform actions that entail the transfer of a share separately from the ownership of one's garden or garden plot.

The terms of the agreement under which the subject of the transaction appears:

1. transfer of ownership of a garden or garden plot of land without transfer of a share in the common ownership of common property,
2. transfer of ownership of a share in the right of common ownership of common property without transfer of the right to a garden or garden plot of land,

are void (if the owner of the garden or garden plot owns such a share).

Contributions to SNT and ONT

The new law establishes only 2 types of contributions that must be made by members of the SNT or ONT in a bank to the settlement account of the partnership (Article 14 of the new law):

1. membership
2. targeted

You won't have to pay an entry fee.

The lists of tasks for which contributions can be spent are limited. So, membership fees can be spent exclusively on the economic needs of the partnership related to the following tasks:

1. with the maintenance of the common use property of the partnership, including the payment of lease payments for this property,
2. with settlements with supply organizations - suppliers of heat and electricity, water, gas, sanitation on the basis of contracts concluded with these organizations,
3. with settlements with the operator for the treatment of municipal solid waste on the basis of agreements concluded by the partnership with these organizations,
4. with landscaping for general purposes,
5. with the protection of the territory of horticulture or horticulture and the provision of fire safety within the boundaries of such territory,
6. with the audit of the partnership,
7. with the payment of wages to members of the board with whom the partnership has concluded employment contracts,
8. with the organization and holding of general meetings of the members of the partnership, with the implementation of the decisions of these meetings,
9. with the payment of taxes and fees related to the activities of the partnership, in accordance with the legislation on taxes and fees.

With regard to earmarked contributions, the possibilities for spending them are more diverse. They are associated with the following tasks:

1. with the preparation of documents necessary for the formation of a land plot that is in state or municipal ownership, in order to further provide such a land plot to the partnership,
2. with the preparation of documentation for the planning of the territory of horticulture or horticulture,
3. carrying out cadastral work to enter into the Unified State Register of Real estate information about garden or garden land plots, general-purpose land plots, other real estate objects related to public property,
4. with the creation or acquisition of common property necessary for the activities of the partnership,
5. with the implementation of measures outlined by the decision of the general meeting of members of the partnership.

The total annual fee will be equal to the sum of the annual targeted and membership fees of a member of the partnership.

The obligation to make contributions applies to all members of the partnership. In case of evasion of payment of contributions, they are collected by the partnership from a member of the SNT or ONT in a judicial proceeding.

Those individual gardeners and gardeners who did not wish to become members of the SNT or ONT are now required to pay contributions on an equal basis with members of partnerships (Article 5 of the new law). Non-payment is fraught with the same consequences as for members of the SNT or ONT. This is one of the differences between the new law and the previous law on summer residents, which allowed individuals to pay for the use of various resources (electricity, water, gas, if it is connected, as well as for garbage collection and security) in an amount smaller than that of members of the partnership, and not pay contributions to the salary of the chairman and members of the board of SNT or ONT. Under the new law, individuals also have other rights - the opportunity to participate in general meetings of members of partnerships, to vote on issues of establishing the frequency and size of contributions. No, still, only the right to participate in the election of the chairman and members of the board.

The charter of the SNT or ONT may provide for cases of changing the amount of contributions for individual members of the partnership, taking into account:

1. different volume of use of common property depending on the size of the garden or garden plot,
2. the total area of ​​real estate objects located on such a land plot,
3. the size of the share in the right of common shared ownership of the land plot or real estate objects located on it.

In the general case, the amount of contributions is determined on the basis of the income and expenditure estimate of the partnership and the financial and economic justification approved by the general meeting of members of the partnership. Also, the charter may establish the procedure for collecting and the amount of penalties in case of late payment of contributions. Failure to pay penalties, as well as non-payment of contributions, entails their recovery in court.

What is allowed to build on garden and garden plots?

New construction of capital residential buildings for permanent residence, according to the introduced law, is allowed only on garden plots and only if such land plots are included in the territorial zones provided for by the land use and development rules (LZZ), for which:

1. urban planning regulations approved,
2. in accordance with urban regulations, limiting parameters of permitted construction have been established.

Although the construction of residential buildings on the garden plots of residential buildings was allowed even before the entry into force of the new law, registration in them turned into “Sisyphean labor” with a positive result only by a court decision that recognized the residential building as capital and suitable for permanent residence.

The new law not only completely legalized such construction, but also the registration of its inhabitants in a residential building, even if it was built or will be built in the future on a plot of 6 acres.

In addition, the new law has simplified the procedure for transferring an existing garden (that is, non-capital construction) house to a permanent residential building and vice versa.

Garden plots should be used only for growing fruits and vegetables, but, nevertheless, outbuildings can be erected on them.

Those developers of garden plots who managed to build on them, as Federal Law 66 (Article 33) allowed, “non-capital residential buildings” and even register their ownership in the USRN, were just lucky, because according to the new law they will not be considered unauthorized construction. Such cases affected, in particular, sites and buildings on lands allocated at one time by the Ministry of Defense.

To avoid ambiguous interpretations about plots and buildings on them, about common property and contributions that will be used from January 1, 2019, all concepts are specially deciphered in the law (Article 3 and Article 23 of the new law):

• garden plot- one that is intended for recreation of citizens and (or) cultivation by citizens for their own needs, crops with the right to place garden houses, residential buildings, outbuildings and garages
• garden house- a building for seasonal use, designed to meet citizens' domestic and other needs related to their temporary stay in such a building (garden houses can be built without any permits and approvals)
• residential building (object of individual housing construction) - in the case when land plots are included in the territorial zones provided for by the land use and development rules, in relation to which urban planning regulations have been approved, providing for the possibility of such construction (Article 23 of the new law with accompanying explanations), while:
  1. a residential building is understood to be a stand-alone building with no more than 3 above-ground floors, no more than 20 m high, which consists of rooms and premises of ancillary use, designed to meet citizens' domestic and other needs related to their living in such a building, and is not intended to be divided into independent real estate objects,

  from 08/03/2018, it is not required to obtain a permit for the construction or reconstruction of an individual residential building, but for construction it is necessary to notify the local administration about the planned construction of a residential or garden house by registered mail by mail, through the public services portal or through the MFC, indicating with your notification the information that is listed in paragraph 1 of Article 51.1 of the Town Planning RF - the notification procedure for the construction of residential buildings is established by the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" No. 340-FZ dated 08/03/2018 registration of property rights did not require any permissions, then with the innovation for such objects it is also necessary to send notifications of the start and completion of construction, that is, such houses must meet the requirements, like individual housing construction objects (until March 1, 2019, property registration is allowed for such houses without sending notifications of the beginning and completion of construction)

  2. no later than 1 month from the date of completion of construction or reconstruction of an individual housing construction or garden house, the developer must submit to the local government a notice of completion of construction or reconstruction (Article 16 of the Federal Law No. 340-FZ, as well as parts 16-21 of Article 55 of the Town Planning Code of the Russian Federation),
• outbuildings- sheds, baths, greenhouses, sheds, cellars, wells and other structures and structures (including temporary ones) designed to meet citizens' domestic and other needs
• garden plot of land- one that is intended for recreation of citizens and (or) cultivation by citizens for their own needs of agricultural crops with the right to place outbuildings that are not real estate objects intended for storage of inventory and harvest of agricultural crops,
• common property- located within the boundaries of the territory of gardening or horticulture for their own needs by citizens:
  1. capital construction projects,
  2. general purpose land,
  3. movable things created (created) or acquired for the operation of a horticultural or horticultural non-profit partnership;

public property (passage, passage, supply of heat and electricity, water, gas, sewerage, security, collection of municipal solid waste and other needs) is used exclusively to meet the needs of citizens engaged in horticulture and horticulture;

• general purpose land plots- land plots that are public property:
  1. such sites are provided for by the approved documentation for the planning of the territory,
  2. such plots are intended for general use by the right holders of land plots located within the boundaries of the territory of gardening or horticulture by citizens for their own needs,
  3. such plots may be intended for the placement of other common property;
• contributions- funds contributed by citizens who have the right to participate in the partnership (members of the partnership) to the settlement account of the partnership for the purposes and in the manner determined by this Federal Law and the charter of the partnership;
• the territory of gardening or horticulture by citizens for their own needs(hereinafter - the territory of gardening or horticulture) - the territory, the boundaries of which are determined by the approved documentation for the planning of the territory.

On the construction of water wells on garden and garden plots

With regard to the construction of water wells in garden and garden plots, in accordance with the new law (Article 31), amendments were made to the Federal Law "On Subsoil".

The Law "On Subsoil" is supplemented by Article 192, according to which:

• Horticultural and horticultural non-profit partnerships and right holders of garden or vegetable garden plots located within the boundaries of their SNT or ONT territories are granted the right to use a subsoil plot of local importance for the extraction of groundwater used:
  1. for the purposes of household water supply,
  2. for personal, domestic and other tasks not related to the implementation of entrepreneurial activities,
• groundwater extraction can be carried out in a simplified manner:
  1. without conducting a geological study of the subsoil,
  2. without conducting a state examination of mineral reserves,
  3. without geological, economic and environmental information about the subsoil plots provided for use,
  4. without coordination and approval of technical projects and other project documentation for the performance of work related to the use of subsoil,
  5. without providing evidence that the partnerships have or will have qualified specialists, the necessary financial and technical means for efficient and safe work.

The main requirement for the construction of wells is the need to comply with the rules for the protection of groundwater bodies, as well as the basic requirements for rational use and protection of subsoil.

Thus, non-profit organizations established to conduct gardening, horticulture or dacha farms before the entry into force of the new law have the right to extract groundwater for domestic water supply of these non-profit organizations until January 1, 2020 without obtaining a license for the use of subsoil. The requirement for mandatory well licensing will come into force on January 1, 2020.

Forms and procedure for support by public authorities and local self-government of horticulture and horticulture

The new law (Article 26) introduces the obligations of municipalities to develop their municipal and investment programs to support horticulture and horticulture, which, in addition to educational work to popularize horticulture and horticulture or the introduction of special units involved in the implementation of regional and municipal policies to support horticulture and horticulture, solve such very important tasks as:

1. organizing the supply of partnerships with heat and electricity, water, gas, sewerage, fuel supply,
2. financing of complex cadastral works in relation to cadastral quarters within the boundaries of which gardening or horticulture areas are located,
3. gratuitous acquisition in the state ownership of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation or in municipal ownership of property of common use (roads, electric grid facilities, water supply, communications and other objects) located within the boundaries of the territory of horticulture or horticulture - in accordance with the statements of the partnership or participants in common shared ownership of property of common use property,
4. granting, as a matter of priority, state and municipal support to citizens who have the right to an extraordinary, priority or other preferential purchase of garden and orchard plots,

State authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments have the right to support the development of horticulture and horticulture in other forms established at the local level in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

For these tasks, the authorities have the right to use federal budget funds.

Registration in garden houses

Until January 1, 2019, it was possible to register in a dacha only by a court decision, which was supposed to recognize the house as capital, suitable for permanent residence.

After January 1, 2019, registration of citizens will be possible provided that the building is located on a garden plot and is registered in the USRN as a residential building.

It is not possible to register for permanent residence in the garden house.

Recognition of a garden house as capital and suitable for permanent residence may equate it, by appointment, with an individual residential house, which, in turn, may mean its status as a second residential property.

In connection with this circumstance, in addition to the appearance of a full-fledged tax on such a property, those people who built it can be evicted from the apartments where they permanently reside under social tenancy agreements and excluded from the queue for housing.

But the initial situation seems to be more “interesting” - the procedure for transferring a garden house to a housing stock is currently not fully defined. When the government will clarify it is also not clear.

Collisions between the new law and other laws

• First collision

The new law defines 2 new types of partnerships (SNT and ONT), and in accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Article 123.12), the creation of such a partnership as TSN is allowed only for those citizens who also own a plot of land that owns a share in public property, which includes roads, electricity networks, water supply, etc.

Common property, as defined by the new law, may or may not belong to a partnership. or, by decision of the general meeting of gardeners or gardeners, it can be transferred free of charge to local municipalities and state authorities. In other words, with such a transfer of common property, its owners deprive themselves of the right to solve the problems of managing property and developing common areas at their own discretion.

• Second collision

In accordance with the law "On Registration of Real Estate" (No. 218 FZ), the only confirmation of ownership of a property is an entry in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. To date, at least 50% of gardeners and gardeners in Russia have not yet taken care of this record and have limited themselves to only possessing such documents as:

1. membership books confirming only participation in the general land allocation for gardening (horticulture) or the purchase of plots made much earlier on such rights,
2. old certificates, resolutions of heads of administrations on the provision of land plots for ownership, any state acts on the provision of land plots.

The percentage of such owners in the total mass of summer residents and gardeners is very high. For example, in St. Petersburg in 2017, there are 300 horticulture and horticulture, but only about 100 of them registered their land in ownership. In the Leningrad Region, where there are over 3,000 such partnerships, the percentage of non-privatized land is much higher.

Even if the plots were previously put on the cadastral register and they were assigned cadastral numbers as previously registered in the State Property Committee before 2008, then, without being included in the USRN, as required by Federal Law No. The users and owners of such plots, therefore, will regularly join the ranks of those poor fellows who still admire their gardening membership books.

As a result, it turns out that “extra” summer residents, gardeners and gardeners fall out of the field of view of the new law, and that a very small number of people have the right to create SNT and ONT, and only those who not only made an entry about the ownership of the plot in the register (EGRN), but also owns, as required by the new law, also a share in public lands entered in the USRN. And the new law did not establish the procedure for making entries in the USRN relating to horticulture and horticulture. And all this despite the fact that in gardening and horticulture people still have a variety of land documents. The situation is more than reminiscent of the running of a squirrel in a wheel. “Protein” in the bureaucratic wheel, as you know, can be gardeners and gardeners who plan to be in SNT or ONT.

• Third collision

The third conflict is related to the variety of interpretations of the article on the possibility of gardening and horticulture without forming a legal entity.

Although the new law introduced an article, according to which horticulture and horticulture without the formation of a legal entity is allowed, nevertheless, it seems to be “vague” and allows for ambiguous perception:

1. individuals cannot apply for a settlement, which means they will not have to rely on municipal support measures,
2. Individuals “honored” with the obligation to pay contributions and the right to participate in general meetings of the partnership with their votes must “cooperate with municipalities”, which, nevertheless, will not create any infrastructure for them (as they say, “a collective farm is, of course, a voluntary matter, but we will not tolerate individuality”).

• Fourth collision

We are talking about the provision of shares in common property. According to the new law, all 100% of the owners of plots in SNT or ONT at their general meeting must decide on the desire to purchase shares in public property:

1. neither the regulations nor the conditions are specified under which such a meeting of land owners in partnerships (not all members of the collective, namely the owners) can be recognized as authorized,
2. the impossibility in reality of holding a meeting, which must be attended by 100% of the owners of plots in SNT or ONT.

As a consequence of the indicated minuses of the provision on shares in common property, situations that are negative in their consequences are not excluded when:

1. public land may be in the possession of a legal entity (partnership) and its founders, who, at such general meetings, approve, in particular, estimates, contributions, etc.,
2. all owners of land plots left “out of distribution” will be required to maintain this legal entity and public property, pay for the acquisition of this property, but they will not become its owners and members of the partnership.

• Fifth collision

There is some confusion with the transitional period introduced by the law. The transition period will last until 2024. Related laws will change at this time. At the same time, from the beginning of 2019, SNT and ONT should use their charters only to the extent that they do not contradict the new norms that have changed over the course of 5 years. It is somehow difficult to link together these 2 provisions of the new law, which are mutually exclusive, spelled out as “execution cannot be pardoned.

Lyudmila Golosova, Chairman of the Trade Union of Russian Gardeners, shares her opinion on the new law:

Results of consideration of the bill by the State Duma in the 3rd final reading - adoption of the law

On July 20, 2017, the State Duma adopted in the third, final reading, a law regulating gardening, horticulture and dacha farming by citizens for their own needs (FZ No. 217-FZ).

Consideration of numerous comments and amendments received during the discussion of the draft law resulted in significant changes reflected in the law.

Let us reiterate the main provisions of the law:

• now there will be only 2 types of suburban partnerships:
  1. horticultural
  2. horticultural,
• all partnerships will have to re-register, decide what type they belong to:
  1. the decision on who to be (gardeners and gardeners) is made by the general meeting of the partnership,
  2. following the results of the general meeting, submit a corresponding application to Rosreestr,

contributions to new SNT and ONT:

1. contributions can be only of 2 types - membership and target,
2. there will be no entrance fees
3. contributions must be transferred to the account of the partnership,
4. cash contributions are not allowed,
5. the amount of membership and earmarked contributions is determined on the basis of a financial and economic justification approved by the general meeting of members of the partnership,
• the minimum number of members of the partnership is 7,
• it is now possible to elect a chairman for 5 years, and not for 2 as before, and an unlimited number of times, and in order to “overthrow” him, an extraordinary general meeting must be held at the request of at least 1/5 of the total number of members of the partnership,

• part audit commission members of the board of the association and their relatives cannot be included,

  partnership documents must be kept for 49 years,

  members of the partnership have the right to get acquainted with the financial statements,

  if copies of some documents are needed, then the members of the partnership can receive them for a fee established by the general meeting, but this fee should not exceed the cost of making these copies, and the issuance of copies of documents to authorities is free of charge,

• members of the partnership are obliged to comply not only with the decisions of the general meeting, but also with the decisions taken by the chairman of the partnership and the board of the partnership;
• the concept of “residential building” was introduced, excluding the definitions of “dacha”, “country house”, “dacha economy” - this was done in order to prevent legal uncertainties,
• a garden house can be transferred to a residential building (for example, to obtain the right to register in it) and, conversely, a residential building can be transferred to a garden building (for example, to reduce real estate tax), but in this case, one or another degree of capitalization of a garden or residential building will have to be justified, in accordance with established requirements and the rules
• capital buildings cannot be erected on garden plots - only temporary garden houses that are not real estate objects can be erected on them,
• the difference between gardeners and gardeners, according to the new law:
  1. gardeners can build residential buildings on the site and register in them,
  2. gardeners can only build garden houses for seasonal living,
• if the majority of the members of the partnership wish to become gardeners, then it will not be necessary to demolish the already built full-fledged residential buildings (not seasonal), but at the time the law comes into force, the ownership of the buildings must be registered,
• if the ownership of residential buildings is not registered, then such houses will have to be demolished, dismantled or rebuilt into garden houses,
• owners of plots with unregistered buildings need to know that in the near future it is planned to introduce a five times higher tax on land by law - a relevant bill is being developed in this regard (on amendments to the Tax Code, according to which the value of identified real estate objects will be determined as the cadastral value of the plot on which unregistered buildings are located, multiplied by a certain coefficient),
• it has been established that the maximum area of ​​public land (including land plots on which roads are laid and power poles are needed to install a transformer, garbage heap, board house, playground equipment, organization of public spaces between fences where members of the partnership can walk and communicate) is up to 1/4, that is, 25% of the area that is occupied by all personal land plots taken together,
• common property belongs to the members of the partnership on the right of shared ownership in proportion to the area of ​​​​their plots (owners of large shares will have a higher tax, which is unlikely to please them, but for other gardeners and gardeners this tax situation will probably please, but the joy will be relative, since their taxes: nevertheless, will increase, since you still have to pay for your share of collective property;
• it is allowed to conduct gardening and horticulture without forming a legal entity, and if the right holders of land plots want to be members of the partnership, they are offered such an opportunity by law (both for land owners and for citizens who have the rights of perpetual use or lease of land plots),
• the powers and responsibilities of non-profit organizations created for horticulture, horticulture and dacha farming are spelled out:
  1. for the convenience of voting, internal-absentee and absentee forms of holding general meetings of members of the partnership are introduced,
  2. the opportunity for general meetings of members of the partnership to decide on a voluntary basis on the gratuitous transfer of part of the common property (roads, electric grid facilities, water supply, communications and other facilities) to state or municipal ownership - in other words, collective property, according to the new law, can not be divided into shares, but can be given entirely to some legal entity (for example, transfer the transformer and networks of an energy company, and roads - to municipal authorities), and such a decision may become very appropriate, since from members the partnership is relieved of the care for the maintenance and repair of its collective property,
  3. if contributions are not paid for more than 2 months, a member of the partnership may be expelled from the partnership, however, he will still use the common property (electricity, road, garbage) and pay for it the same as the members, having lost only the right to vote at the general meeting,
• the concept of “the boundaries of the territory of the partnership” has been improved: it has been replaced by “the territory of gardening or horticulture by citizens for their own needs”, since the size of the common property, which is in common shared ownership and managed by the partnership, depends on the territory of horticulture or horticulture,
• the definition of the concept of "property of common use" is concretized, the possible types and purposes of using such property are established, which will reduce the risk of the appearance in partnerships of property not related to its activities,
• for persons who are the right holders of land plots, but who have not joined the partnership, the following are provided:
  1. the obligation to pay for the acquisition, creation, maintenance, current and major repairs of common property, as well as for services and work on the management of such property in amounts equal to those established for members of the partnership,
  2. the right to use common property located within the boundaries of the territory of horticulture or horticulture, on an equal footing and to the extent established for members of the partnership,
  3. the right to take part in voting at the general meeting of members of the partnership on issues related to the disposal of public property;
• in relation to associations created before the adoption of the law and which are owners of common-use property, transitional provisions provide for the obligation until January 1, 2024 to submit for consideration by the general meeting of members of the partnership the issue of transferring such property to the common shared ownership of land owners,
• the procedure for licensing wells of partnerships has been simplified - the requirement for their mandatory licensing comes into effect from January 1, 2020 (an article is introduced into the law "On Subsoil" that fixes the norms for the extraction of groundwater by horticultural organizations and organizations have the right to produce for domestic water supply until January 1, 2020 without obtaining a license for the use of subsoil).

An important merit of the new law lies in the desire to respect the rights of those gardeners who do not want to be members of gardening associations, and those who are in favor of this form of farming. The law has become a document not about legal entities, but about the relationship of citizens who are engaged in gardening and horticulture. It is scheduled to come into effect on January 1, 2019. Until that moment, gardeners, gardeners and gardeners will be in transitional mode, adapting to the new rules.

Amendments to 66-FZ on horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens

On July 3, 2016, amendments were made to the Federal Law of April 15, 1998 N 66-FZ "On horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens". The changes introduced by Federal Law No. 337-FZ of July 3, 2016 came into force on the day of their official publication, July 4, 2016.

Our summary of these changes:

1. The concept of the Register of members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association is introduced.

   The register of association members must contain:

   1. surname, name, patronymic of a member of such an association;
   2. postal address and (or) e-mail address at which a member of such an association can receive messages;
   3. cadastral (conditional) number of the land plot, the right holder of which is a member of such an association and other information provided for by the charter of such an association.

   The duty of the member in connection with the formation of the register of the association is now:

   • give reliable and necessary information for maintaining the register of members of the association and timely inform the board of the association about changes in the specified information
   • within ten days from the date of termination of the rights to the land plot belonging to him V writing notify the board of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association about this.

   The specified register must be created no later than one month from the date of state registration of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association. Horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit associations of citizens, created before the day this Federal Law enters into force, are required to create a register of members of the corresponding association before June 1, 2017.

   The Register is maintained by the chairman of the board of the association or another authorized member of the board of the association. The collection, processing, storage and dissemination of information necessary for maintaining the register of members of the association is carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on personal data.

   Federal Law of July 27, 2006 N 152-FZ "On Personal Data": Operators and other persons who have gained access to personal data are obliged not to disclose to third parties and not to distribute personal data without the consent of the subject of personal data, unless otherwise provided by federal law. When processing personal data, the operator is obliged to take the necessary legal, organizational and technical measures or ensure their adoption to protect personal data from unauthorized or accidental access to them, destruction, modification, blocking, copying, provision, distribution of personal data, as well as from other illegal actions in relation to personal data.

2. Changes have been made to the procedure for holding a general meeting.

   The previous edition did not allow holding a meeting in absentia if the agenda of the general meeting included issues of amending the charter of the association or approving it in a new edition, liquidating or reorganizing the association, approving the income and expenditure estimates, reports of the board and the audit commission. Now, provided that these issues were included in the agenda of the in-person meeting and it did not take place due to the lack of a quorum, these decisions can be taken in absentia.

3. Expanded list of documents

   Which should be provided to members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association and citizens engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association at their request.

   If earlier these were only copies of the minutes of general meetings of members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, meetings of the board, the audit commission (auditor) of such an association, the commission of such an association for monitoring compliance with the law, now, in addition to these documents, the following may be required:

   1. charter of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, changes made to the charter, certificate of registration of the relevant association;
   2. accounting (financial) statements of the association, income and expenditure estimates of the association, a report on the execution of this estimate;
   3. documents confirming the results of voting at a general meeting of members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, including voting ballots, powers of attorney for voting, as well as decisions of members of the association during a general meeting in the form of absentee voting;
   4. title documents for common property;
   5. other internal documents provided for by the charter of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association of citizens and decisions of the general meeting of members of the association.

   These documents are provided for review. The obligation to provide copies of documents from the above list has also been introduced. The fee charged by the association for the provision of copies may not exceed the cost of their production. Thus, the board will need to decide on the cost of copies of documents based on the cost estimate.

4. The charter of the association must contain the procedure for determining the amount of membership fees.

   Now this is legally established, and this procedure may include, among other things, the establishment of the amount of the membership fee depending on the area of ​​the land plot of a member of such an association and (or) total area belonging to him and located on this land plot of immovable property. There are two main points here:
   • a) the size of the membership fee, in the opinion of the legislator, can now be established depending on the area of ​​the land plot or on the area of ​​real estate objects on the land plot. A combination of these two principles is also possible. That is, the principle of levying membership fees, common in many partnerships, is excluded - “equally from the site”.
   • b) In the text of the article, the words “may include, among other things ...” make it possible to interpret the above principles for collecting a membership fee as recommended, but not mandatory. That is, if a different procedure is formulated in the charter, then so be it, the main thing is that it be spelled out in the charter.

5. The wording of the concept of "membership fees" has been clarified.

   In the new edition, this is money periodically contributed by members of a horticultural, horticultural or country non-profit association maintenance of common property, remuneration of employees who have concluded employment contracts with such an association, and other current expenses of such an association. Complemented by the obvious - the maintenance of common property. Recall that in accordance with the same Federal Law No. 66, public property is property (including land plots) intended to provide, within the territory of a horticultural, gardening or country non-profit association, the needs of members of such a non-profit association in the passage, travel, water supply and sanitation, electricity, gas supply, heat supply, security, recreation and other needs (roads, water towers, common gates and fences, boiler rooms, children's and sports grounds, playgrounds for gathering garbage, fire fighting facilities, etc.).

The new version of the law requires amendments to the charter (in particular, the mandatory inclusion of a provision on the procedure for establishing the size of the membership fee). At the same time, one should not rush to make changes, since in accordance with paragraph 2 of article 2 of the Federal Law No. 337 statutes horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit associations of citizens to be brought into line on first change constituent documents such legal entities. When registering these changes to the constituent documents, the state fee is not charged.

However, the changes have already entered into force, regardless of their presence in the charter.

You can familiarize yourself with the text of the amendments to No. 66-FZ dated April 15, 1998 "On horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens", adopted in No. 337-FZ dated July 3, 2016, in
