At the next meeting of the executive committee of the Lutsk City Council, the issue of the cost of services for processing ownership documents during the privatization of housing was considered. As reported by the acting head of the housing privatization department of the city executive committee, Zinoviia Sychevska, the existing cost of such services was set on March 1, 2003, at 98 hryvnias per set of documents for the right of ownership of housing. The set of documents consists of: a technical passport for the apartment (house) that is in ownership; a certificate of the right of ownership of the apartment (house) and an extract on the registration of immovable property. During this time, external changes occurred that caused an increase in the cost of services for processing ownership documents during the privatization of housing, namely: first, in accordance with the Laws of Ukraine, the minimum wage increased from 165 hryvnias to 262 hryvnias; second, the cost of office supplies, computer equipment servicing, etc. increased; third, the costs of producing the technical passport increased. With the tariff for processing ownership documents during the privatization of housing remaining unchanged, the housing privatization department is doomed to financial problems, the impossibility of timely payment of wages, payment for work performed on producing technical passports, and registration of certificates of the right of ownership.
Having studied all aspects of the problem, the executive committee of the city council decided to increase the cost of services for processing documents for housing privatization by 25 hryvnias. Such an increase will not significantly affect the financial condition of families privatizing housing, since such payment is one-time. At the same time, the increase in the cost of services will help stabilize the work of the housing privatization department and the enterprises involved in processing documents for housing privatization. Accordingly, the quality of service to the population will also increase.
