Although the powers of the BTI have been significantly limited in recent years, these organizations still have a large array of technical documentation for real estate. Certificates may concern archival or current information on objects, and they can be obtained directly from the BTI, or through the MFC system. Let's consider what types of certificates can be obtained from the BTI, and what their practical significance is.

What is a BTI certificate?
A BTI certificate is an official document issued at the request of the owner of a property or other interested party. The content of the certificates will depend on the purpose and subject of the request - from the inventory value of the object to a copy of the floor plan of the building.
Initially, BTI bodies were created to carry out inventory and accounting of capital construction projects. At different periods of time, the powers of BTI institutions included the following functions:
- primary and subsequent inventory of objects, with determination of inventory value;
- registration and issuance of technical documentation for real estate (technical passport, floor plan of the building, etc.);
- registration of ownership of real estate;
- maintaining an archive of technical documentation for surveyed and recorded objects.
These powers were gradually limited, and with the introduction of the cadastral registration system, BTI institutions generally lost most of their previous functions. The preparation of technical and boundary documentation for real estate is carried out by cadastral engineers, who use BTI information on previously surveyed objects.

Of significant value are the archives of the BTI, where all inventory files for real estate were transferred. To carry out work on objects (redevelopment, reconstruction, reconstruction, etc.) it is necessary to prepare a project. When preparing project documentation, the entire volume of information on the facility is used, including data from technical inventories and assessments. For objects that are just now undergoing cadastral registration, primary BTI documentation is necessary for the preparation of technical plans.
Expert commentary . According to the rules of Federal Law No. 218-FZ, all information about the characteristics of a real estate property is reflected in technical terms, and then transferred to the state register of the Unified State Register of Real Estate. However, in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. when defining the concepts of redevelopment and reconstruction, reference is still given to the technical passport, which was previously produced by the BTI bodies. The validity period of such passports was 5 years, i.e. in 2021, all such documents have lost their validity. Therefore, even if there is a valid Art. 25 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, changes based on the results of redevelopment will be recorded in technical terms, however, information from BTI passports can be used for the work of a cadastral engineer.

How to get a BTI certificate for free yourself
All certificates are issued by BTI authorities on a paid basis. Depending on the status of the requester, the tariff may be reduced, and you can find out about preferential categories directly at the BTI institution. If the request to the BTI is drawn up by a notary or cadastral engineer, the price of the certificate will be included in the cost of the contract.
Here are the steps you need to take to obtain a BTI certificate yourself:
- decide on the type of certificate - specific situations require different information from their technical documentation, there is no point in ordering a paid certificate for all characteristics;
- decide on the BTI institution to which the request will be submitted - the BTI information is not included in the unified federal database, therefore, to receive information on objects from other regions, you need to send a request there in writing by mail or contact through the local BTI department (naturally, you need to take into account the deadline to receive written correspondence when requesting certificates from another region);
- fill out the form requesting a certificate - this form will be provided at the BTI institution at the place of application;
- pay the cost of producing the certificate in accordance with the approved tariffs;
- the certificate will be issued within the period specified when receiving the request, or sent by mail.
You can receive a certificate not only in person, but also through a representative. To do this, issue a power of attorney through a notary office and indicate as part of the authority the possibility of obtaining any certificates from the BTI.
Why is this certificate needed?
It is required when performing many operations, these include:
- acquisition or sale;
- exchange;
- donation;
- inheritance;
- housing redevelopment;
- transition of non-residential premises to residential premises.
Types of certificates
Most often, the BTI prepares a certificate - a housing plan with a detailed description of the parameters and characteristics of the premises.
We often receive requests for real estate valuations. An appraisal certificate is required when selling an apartment, opening an inheritance, or registering a house as a gift. The cost of such an assessment does not correspond to the market price since it is established only on the basis of the area of the housing, without taking into account the location of the property, as well as the repairs made.
Good to know! For transactions involving the assignment of rights, an act confirming the address of the property is required. The mandatory nature of such paper is based on the fact that streets are often subject to renaming, and this can lead to confusion.
The most frequently ordered certificates are:
- duplicate of the technical passport;
- extracts from the technical passport;
- land plan;
- residential building plan;
- real estate valuation;
- detailed technical description of the room;
- room cost estimate;
- estimate of the cost of 1 square meter of attic;
- recalculation of the cost of premises when moving from non-residential to residential.
This list is not exhaustive.
An alternative to the BTI certificate is an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate
With the introduction of the cadastral registration system, all information about real estate is recorded in a single federal database - the Unified State Register of Real Estate. It is the USRN extract that is the only proper title document. Cadastral registration information is taken from technical and boundary plans prepared by a cadastral engineer.
If the object has undergone the cadastral registration procedure, information about it is included in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. This means that current and reliable data on the object of interest can be obtained not through the BTI authorities, but by requesting an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. You can do this in the following ways:
Registration procedure
To register you need:
- Fill out an application.
- Attach a certain package of documents.
- Pay the state fee.
A specialist from a government agency will issue a certificate indicating the date when you need to come.
List of documents
The list of documents for registration of an extract is small. You only need to provide your passport and application.
If an extract is required by a representative of an organization, then the state fee will be higher, and the company’s statutory documents must be provided.
Statement
The application indicates for which property the extract must be obtained, and, specifically, the address at which it is located.
The application is submitted in a specially established form.
How legal is a BTI certificate in 2021?
In most cases, BTI certificates in 2018-1019 will be of an informational nature and cannot indicate the presence or absence of rights to real estate. Information from inventory files has legal force only when determining the value of an object for inheritance purposes; in other cases it is of an auxiliary nature.
Here are examples when obtaining certificates from the BTI will be important for legal relations:
- if the courts are considering disputes about the rights to real estate registered before 01/01/2000;
- if the enterprise conducts a technical inventory of objects for its own purposes;
- if it is necessary to prepare design documentation to change the characteristics of an object that has not undergone cadastral registration.
Technically, there is no need to update your old apartment passport. This document has no legal force. If you need to obtain up-to-date and reliable information about the characteristics of your property, you need to contact a cadastral engineer.
Cost of BTI services
Prices are set independently. But it is possible to determine the average cost of each document in Russia.
If you contact the agency yourself, you will only have to pay for the technical work. But some people prefer to save time and use the services of third-party organizations.

How to get an up-to-date floor plan
Floor plans are used in project preparation and approval of redevelopment. Upon request to the BTI, you will receive a floor plan at the time of the last technical inventory (most likely, this period will exceed 10 years). In order to have an up-to-date floor plan in hand, it is necessary to carry out cadastral work if the object has not previously been registered with the cadastral register.
The production of an up-to-date floor plan is carried out by a cadastral engineer. To do this, measurements are taken in kind, and current USRN information on the object being surveyed or on neighboring objects is also used. If there is no information about the building in the Unified State Register of Real Estate, the cadastral engineer can use the technical documentation of the BTI, including the floor plan. All measurement results are recorded in text and graphic form of a technical plan.
Expert commentary . The current floor plan drawn up by a cadastral engineer may differ significantly from a similar BTI document. The fact is that the engineer uses high-precision inspection methods, while BTI institutions had measuring instruments and techniques with significant errors. Information about the characteristics of a building or premises, prepared as a result of cadastral work, is accompanied by a note from the engineer about the measuring instruments used and the permissible error.
