Lviv is among those that attracted the most funds in the budget as a result of land auctions in Ukraine. Only last year, the Lviv community replenished its budget by more than UAH 165 million.
According to the results of the research of the electronic platform Prozorro.Sales, the Lviv region topped the top five regional leaders. It is followed by Kyiv, Odesa, Cherkasy and Transcarpathian regions. At the same time, the undisputed leader in the Lviv Region, according to Prozorro.Prodazhi, is the Lviv City Territorial Community. It received the most profit from land electronic auctions among other communities of the region: in 2022, the Lviv community replenished its budget by more than UAH 165 million. And this is in less than a year, because by May, the land market was temporarily stopped due to a full-scale invasion.
Such a large profit from land auctions, even in the first year of a full-scale invasion of land resources management of the Lviv City Council, is primarily explained by the new format of auctions – through the online platform “Prozorro”.
“Electronic auctions significantly simplified the auction procedure for participants from all over Ukraine. Most of the land plots in the Lviv community are sold for commercial purposes. For such lots, the price can increase tenfold and, as a rule, 5-6 participants compete for them at once.
For example, the price for renting land on Khutorivka Street has increased 18 times. These auctions started with the amount of 330 thousand hryvnias, and ended with almost 6 million hryvnias – this is the annual rental payment. Six participants from all over Ukraine competed for this land – this is a record number,” said the Land Resources Department of the Lviv City Council.
Prices rose the most from the sale of land for commerce, when last year the city sold a plot at 355-a Horodotsky Street. 5 participants fought for this plot, and the price increased from the starting price of over 3 million to over 7 million hryvnias.
A new auction will be held on June 30, at which six plots of land will be sold.
