Residents of the Omsk region prepared more than 3 thousand cubic meters of wood for the construction and repair of housing

Since the beginning of the year, residents of the Omsk region have used the right to independently harvest timber: for the construction and overhaul of houses, they have harvested 3049 cubic meters of timber. For this purpose, citizens signed 88 contracts with the Main Forestry Department of the region.

The law allows residents of the region to harvest forest plantations for their own needs. The amount of wood allocated depends on the category of the applicant. So, the owner of the site with a building permit is entitled once every five years to receive 10 cubic meters of forest plantations on the root. For major repairs of the house, you can prepare 30 cubic meters - once every 20 years.

A special measure of support is provided for citizens recognized as needing residential premises: they can receive 175 cubic meters of wood once in their lifetime. Such residents are accounted for by local self-government bodies.

Now on the feedback platform of the portal of public services is a survey for those who are already engaged in logging or plan to do it. Its results will help assess the practice of applying the norm and gather opinions of residents of the region.
