Russian Federation is the largest country in the world by territory and has a capacious land market, where thousands of hectares of land are bought and sold every day.
The use of land in Russia is tightly controlled by the state and depending on possible usage, all lands in Russian Federation according to the Russian Land Code are divided into the seven categories:
The division of all Russian lands into categories is a consequence of territorial zoning and state development strategy. For each land category there is an official list of permitted usages for land lots in this category and territorial zone. The owner of the land can initiate legal transfer of his land lot from one category to another, but with some land categories it is legally impossible, while with others it is legally possible but could be complicated. However, the land lot owner can freely choose his land usage from official list of permitted usages for his land category and territorial zone.
The land market in the majority of Russian regions is quite mature, therefore land valuation in those regions is mainly based on the analysis of current market transactions, rental rates and asking prices for the land plots.
But due to land categorization and usage restrictions, the main factors determining the land value in Russia by far are category and permitted usage(s) of the subject land. With these two factors being equal, the market value of a certain land plot further depends on traditional for real estate factors - location, transport infrastructure, social amenities, environmental conditions, quality and recreational value of the surrounding territory.
