Forms of right
Under article 17 of the Land Code, legal entities may hold a land plot by right of ownership, permanent use and lease. Individuals hold land by right of ownership and lease. Rights of possession and use that arose before 1 August 2021 remain in force.
The general procedure
- Take part in an electronic online auction to obtain the plot in ownership or on lease (article 23 of the Land Code). A plot for permanent use is granted by a decision of the governor (hokim).
- Mark the borders of the plot on the ground and draw up the plan of the plot.
- Register the right with the state. Under article 35 of the Land Code, the authorised body does this within ten days from the day the application arrives with the required documents, except in the cases the legislation names.
Use of the plot is forbidden until the borders are marked and the documents of title are issued.
The designated purpose
Under article 40 of the Land Code, the land must be used according to the main type of permitted use. The main type is changed on the application of the right holder. The application is filed through a state services centre or through the Single Interactive State Services Portal (article 10⁵).
If you are refused
Ask for the refusal in writing. Under article 27 of the Code on Administrative Court Proceedings, a decision of a local government body, or a refusal of state registration, can be challenged in the administrative court.
