Expected strategic result 2.5.7.1. Amendments have been made to the land legislation, which provide for transparent mechanisms for the sale of state-owned and municipally owned land plots or rights to them through electronic auctions

A law amending the Land Code of Ukraine has taken effect, which:
a) defines the maximum area of land plots under state or municipal ownership, which are occupied by immovable properties (buildings, structures) owned by individuals or legal entities, for the purposes of their sale or tenancy outside of the competitive process (20 percent);
b) shortens the list of cases in which state-owned and municipally owned land plots are not subject to sale or transfer for use on a competitive basis (through land auctions), in particular, by removing the provision on the transfer of such land plots to enterprises, institutions, and public organizations in the field of culture and arts (including national creative unions and their members) for creative workshops, as well as to citizens for haying and grazing, and for gardening (15 percent).

The provisions of the Land Code of Ukraine, which define transparent mechanisms for the sale of state-owned and municipally owned land plots or rights to them through electronic auctions, namely: conducting electronic land auctions in a single electronic trading system in the form of a real-time electronic auction on the Internet, which will result in the conclusion of a contract of sale, lease, superficies, emphyteusis of land with the winner of the land auction who offered the highest price for the land plot being sold or the highest amount of rent for leasing it, which has been recorded during the land auction (price offer), have not been amended and remain in force.
