The article is devoted to one of the controversial issues of Civil and Land law – the possibility of involving part of the land in the civil turnover. The author examines the current legislation, cites the doctrinal position of scientists on the merits of the question, analyzes judicial practice, gives his vision of the land as an object of civil rights. The article concludes that part of the land plot is not a full-fledged object of civil turnover. The cadastral accounting of part of the parcel of land allows to involve it in civil turnover in incomplete volume – only by means of transfer in temporary possession and (or) use. The transfer of ownership of part of the land plot is not possible due to the absence of a separate title from the owner of the land plot to its part. As a result, on the basis of theoretical conclusions, the author formulates the definition of a part of the land plot and proposals for the improvement of civil and land legislation.
