President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on land registration and the formation of state cadastres, implementation of digital technologies. In our country, systematic work is underway to conserve, equitably allocate and efficiently use land resources. This year, a law was adopted on the allocation of agricultural land on the basis of an open tender, privatization of non-agricultural land through an auction.
On 7 September 2020, the President signed a Decree “On measures to radically improve the system for keeping records of land and state cadastres.” In accordance with it, the Cadastre Agency was created under the State Tax Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The decree, along with many other innovations, defined the tasks for registering objects state cadastres and their entry into the National Geographic Information System.
Thus, for the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, a complete inventory of agricultural land is being carried out. To date, electronic maps have been created for 23 million hectares of such lands. Of these, 22 million hectares have been officially registered.
In addition, 412 thousand unaccounted real estate objects are registered in the cadastral base, the cadastral value of 478 thousand objects has been revised, in which additional buildings have been identified.
However, in the inventory process, many shortcomings come to light. For example, there is a discrepancy between the data of electronic registration of agricultural land and data of the land fund, which was kept in paper form.
In addition, there are many problems in the cadastres of roads, power supply facilities, gas supply, water management, landscaping, areas adjacent to apartment buildings.
This shows that there is still a lot of work to be done. In this regard, the meeting identified important tasks for the future.
First of all, it was emphasized at the meeting, it is important to complete the inventory of agricultural land by 1 April of next year. For this, it is necessary to clarify the category of 2.7 million hectares of land in the land balance.
The task was set to conduct state registration and only then put up for competition 80 thousand hectares of land, which are planned to be leased to the population next year.
There are many non-agricultural lands in the regions that are not used efficiently. For example, over 10 million hectares are under the jurisdiction of the State Forestry Committee, 820 thousand hectares are in the system of the Ministry of Water Resources, and 450 thousand hectares of land around highways. 3 million 300 thousand hectares are in the reserve of khokimiyats.
The head of state stressed the need to create an electronic map of these lands and register them as state property.
It was noted that the territories adjacent to internal roads and multi-storey buildings can be transferred for permanent use.
Another problem is that in the land balance the area of the housing stock of the population is indicated as 223 thousand hectares, and in fact exceeds 1 million hectares. In this regard, it was instructed to conduct an inventory of real estate objects, create their electronic map and place it in public access on an online platform.
Instructions were also given to improve the material and technical base of cadastral departments and modernize their equipment.
