Baku: War veterans with disabilities and families of martyrs will be exempt from state fees for documents related to the registration of property ownership. This development is part of proposed amendments to the Law ‘On State Fees,’ which have been included in the agenda of the Milli Majlis session scheduled for December 16.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, Articles 6 of the Law ‘On the State Register of Real Estate’ and Article 26 of the Law ‘On State Fees’ define the rates of state fees charged for issuing documents related to the state registration of ownership and other property rights to real estate. This includes the issuance of extracts from the state register related to the state registration of rights to real estate, technical documents such as passports and measurement plans, land surveying work for the registration of rights to land plots, issuance of certificates regarding restrictions on rights to real estate, and state registration of mortgages, among other legal actions related to real estate.
The proposed amendment aims to exempt socially vulnerable groups from state fees. This includes individuals whose disabilities were established due to war, the January 20 events, or the performance of military service duties, including those carried out at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Additionally, families granted the status of martyrs’ families will benefit from this exemption for the relevant services and legal actions.
The exemption is intended to enhance the social protection of individuals belonging to these categories. The draft was put to a vote and adopted in the first reading.
