Abstract
This article presents the existing methodology of determining the cadastral value of land in settlements of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The concept of State appraisal of the value of land plots is reflected on the basis of the standard land payment rate, market approaches to the cadastral registration of land use. The influence of real estate market on payment for land in the category of land of settlements is considered. The article presents the foreign experience of American and Western European systems of zoning of territories, as well as countries such as Japan and Singapore, which are perceived in unity with the settlement mechanism and as an instrument of territorial development. It is proposed to introduce a new coefficient for commercial purposes for land plots located in the RS. As an example, the cadastral value of one land plot has been calculated. It was revealed that method of zoning the lands of Kazakhstan is in many respects identical with the foreign one. Its shortcomings are shown and proposals on improvement by the type of Nur-Sultan are given. The existing number of zones is analyzed, their frequent fragmentation is noted. The expediency of combining 1 and 2, 25 and 26 zones is indicated. The conclusion: zoning of land in settlements is carried out in order to determine the boundaries of assessment zones and correction factors to the basic land plots payment rates, and is also necessary as a tool for managing land resources in built-up areas.
