The article discusses the concepts of «linear object», «building permit», as well as the ratio of the concepts of «capital construction object» and «real estate object». Various bases of registration of rights to linear objects are investigated. The author evaluates the process of reforming land and urban planning legislation aimed at simplifying the procedure for registering rights to linear objects, and comes to the conclusion that when creating a new real estate object, state registration of rights to a new object allows transforming the capital construction object into a real estate object.
