Compensation for destroyed housing

Good day.

Homeowners, customers, investors, members of cooperatives and heirs of the mentioned persons have the right to receive compensation.

Applications will be accepted throughout the duration of martial law and for one year after its lifting.

Also, compensation can be allocated for housing damaged by the consequences of war, for example, due to a shell explosion.

Such applications can be submitted within three years after the lifting of martial law.

In order to receive compensation, you must submit an application, which will be reviewed by an independent commission.

Applications can be submitted as follows:

• online in the "Action" application in the "Services" section;

• in writing at social security agencies or at administrative service centers;

• in writing to the notary (before going to the notary, you need to call him to find out if he deals with such matters).

The application must be accompanied by a package of documents confirming ownership of the home, as well as photos of the object before and after destruction.

The commission must consider the application within 30 days.

However, if the housing is in the zone of temporary occupation, the review may be delayed. If the application was submitted late or contains inaccurate data, the applicant may be rejected.

There are two ways to receive compensation:

1. Obtain a certificate for the purchase of an apartment or house;

2. Get money to a special account for building your own home.

The amount of compensation will be calculated individually depending on the value of the destroyed housing. You can get housing for compensation only on the territory of Ukraine, and the value of the received housing must correspond to the value of the destroyed housing.

If the cost of the new home exceeds the cost of the destroyed one, the owner must pay the difference himself. The home purchase certificate will be valid for 5 years, during which it can be used.
