Russian Holidays - Cadastral Engineer Day

Land managers began to engage in entering arable, hunting, yard and empty land into the state register during the times of Kievan Rus The functions of today's cadastral engineers were performed by scribes, measurers and watchmen Their working tools were iron stakes that were driven into the ground and ropes Knowledge of geometry and geodetic equipment first began to be used under Peter I July 24 is the Day of the Cadastral Engineer in Russia - a profession whose history dates back hundreds of years The collection of information about land as an object of ownership and taxation has been known since the times of Ancient Rome and Mesopotamia Although even under the primitive communal system, people made attempts to evaluate the territories that belonged to their tribe The first cadastres helped determine the amount of money collected taking into account the type of soil, its characteristics and productivity Attempts to structure information about private plots began during the reign of the iterator Servius Tulius The Romans were familiar with the concept of caputigum (translated from Latin as “tribute”) Subsequently, it began to sound like capitum registrum - taxation depending on the number of users or owners of land With the advent of a new era, the cadastre began to resemble a modern real estate register Bronze tablets reflected maps of land plots; the scrolls contained information about plots, indicating the names of the owners, the size and boundaries of private territories A full-fledged state cadastre in Rus' appeared under Empress Catherine The land registration register was called the Local Order, which contained a description of objects - arable lands, forestry, crop fields, hayfields From the IX-XIX centuries their sizes were determined approximately in contrast to the description of soil quality In the Soviet Union, land belonged to the state, so there was no need to develop a cadastral service With the advent of capitalism and private property in the 90s XX century there was a need to develop a mechanism for carrying out transactions with plots - from rent and will to purchase and sale In the Russian Federation, all land is used by owners or tenants on a paid basis To assess the value of plots and their characteristics, land surveying is carried out To determine the boundaries of plots and areas, cadastral engineers use high-precision instruments and modern devices, including GNSS receivers and quadcopters for aerial photography More than 40,000 domestic licensed professionals have the skills of land surveyors, surveyors, real estate appraisers and lawyers The qualifications of cadastral engineers allow them not only to engage in land surveying, but also to draw up technical plans for construction projects, diagrams, acts and conclusions for government bodies Specialists carry out geodetic measurements and create maps of the area, and perform other work that helps organize information about real estate objects Professionals are members of SROs that protect the interests of land managers and monitor compliance with legislative norms in the field of cadastre and cartography The modern real estate accounting system is based on a long history of technical inventory The holiday, celebrated since 2008, coincides with the release in July 2007 of the Law “On the State Real Estate Cadastre” All information about plots, apartments, houses, and other buildings and structures is today brought together and contained in the Rosreestr database The importance of the work of land surveyors is difficult to overestimate Therefore, on July 24, cadastral engineers are sincerely congratulated on their professional holiday by colleagues, relatives and friends who pay tribute to their professional activities
