What is the procedure for submitting the application for compensation?

Currently, registered draft Law No.7198 mceclip0.png, which provides for a compensation mechanism for damaged and destroyed property. But it should be noted that the draft law has not yet been adopted and is under consideration by the Verkhovna Rada.

The procedure is described in Article 3 of the draft Law mceclip0.png.

The application for the compensation is submitted to the Commission for consideration of compensation issues based at the location of destroyed and damaged property. It is assumed that the application is submitted during martial law and within 90 calendar days from its termination date.

After that, the application is registered at the Register of Damaged and Destroyed Property.

How long do you have to wait for compensation?

Also, housing cooperatives, managers of apartment buildings and cooperatives. Compensation will be received on a first-come, first-served basis. But the priority recipients of such payments will be large families, people with disabilities groups I and II, combatants and people with disabilities due to war.

Compensation for destroyed and damaged dwellings

The other day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the Law introducing the possibility of compensation for destroyed and damaged housing. The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine informed about this.

In accordance with the Law, compensation for destroyed and damaged property can be received by:

  • owners of apartments, other residential premises, private houses, garden houses and country houses;
  • customers of the construction of private, garden and country houses (natural persons);
  • physical persons who invested or financed the construction;
  • members of housing cooperatives who bought housing, but did not issue ownership rights to it;
  • the heirs of the above mentioned persons.

Compensation can be given in two ways:

  1. Housing certificate for the amount of compensation, confirming the state guarantee of financing the purchase of an apartment or other residential premises within the amount of compensation (for owners of destroyed apartments and other residential premises in the building). It is possible to use the certificate and buy a new home within 5 years.
  2. At the request of the owner of the destroyed private residential building, monetary compensation is possible by transferring it to the current account of the recipient of compensation with a special mode of use for financing the construction of the house.

It will be possible to submit an application for compensation through Diia, Tsnap, social security agencies or a notary. Decisions on compensation will be made by local self-government bodies, which will create the appropriate Commissions for consideration of issues related to compensation. These commissions will consider the applications, conduct an inspection of the destroyed housing and determine the compensation amount. The amount of compensation will be calculated in accordance with a special methodology that is currently being developed by the Government.
