Citizens of Ukraine have the right to a free transfer of land plots from state or municipal property for personal farming up to 2 hectares (Article 121 of the Land Code of Ukraine).
Local governments may limit the size of a land plot only in cases provided for by law, for example, if:
the land plot is located within the territory subject to land use restrictions (for example, protected areas, lands of the nature reserve fund);
there are encumbrances on the rights to the land plot established by law or an act of an authorized state authority, official, or by agreement.
