Moscow has approved new results of the state cadastral valuation

The order has been signed by the Moscow City Property Department and has been published. The new cadastral value of buildings, premises, structures, objects of unfinished construction and parking spaces will apply from 1 January 2026.

What matters more than the fact of approval itself, however, is the quality of the procedure that preceded this decision.

At the stage of public discussion, right holders sent remarks on the draft report of the state cadastral valuation. These were hundreds of applications, on factual errors, on characteristics, on the methodology and on the correctness of the source data.

The result?

• Remarks filed on the draft report: 630.

• Every one of them, without exception, received the status "Not taken into account".

• The reasons given are, throughout, standard, template wording.

• Individual analysis is in fact nowhere to be seen.

Formally, then, a feedback mechanism exists. In substance it does not work.

The reason lies in the procedure itself. If even one remark is accepted as justified, the body that calculates the cadastral value is obliged to publish the draft report again and to extend the discussion for a further 60 days. In Moscow, with its enormous number of properties, that turns the process into an endless loop. It is simpler to reject everything, without exception.

This is now the third cadastral valuation in a row in which the state budgetary institution "Moscow Centre for Real Estate" has not accepted a single remark as justified. In practice, the mechanism for correcting the report through remarks by right holders does not work, because the law provides no liability for an unjustified refusal to correct errors.

The new cadastral value will begin to apply from 1 January 2026.
