Which authority manages the registration of titles?
The State Land Cadaster is maintained and operated by the State Service for Land Survey, Cartography and Cadaster.
The registration of rights (including ownership and lease rights) to real estate (including land) and encumbrances in the Register is done by a state registrar, which is any of the following:
- A notary
During martial law in Ukraine, only notaries included in a specific list amended from time to time and approved by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine, are entitled to carry out state registration.
- A state registrar of the executive body of a village, town or city councils, Kyiv and Sevastopol city state administrations, district state administrations
During martial law in Ukraine, only state registrars are entitled to carry out state registration of rights to real estate that is located outside the territory where the hostilities are taking place or the territory temporarily occupied by Russia.
- State or private executor
A state or private executor may impose or lift an attachment over the real property during an execution proceeding.
If an agreement regarding real estate is subject to notarization, the state registration of the rights arising under the agreement must be performed by a notary on the same date as the notarization of the agreement.
Generally, the registration of property rights to real estate is carried out by a state registrar within a particular region, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Kyiv or Sevastopol where the relevant real estate is located. However, during martial law and one month following its termination or cancellation, the registration of property rights to real estate located within the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Sevastopol, Donetsk region, Zaporizhzhya region, Luhansk region, Mykolaiv region, Kharkiv region or Kherson region may be carried out by any state registrar regardless of the location of the real estate.
