Less ambiguity in agricultural property trading

Starting from June 2019, the Act on Shaping the Agricultural System no longer covers agricultural properties located within administrative boundaries of towns with an area of ​​less than 1 ha. However, it is still a significant obstacle in planning new investments. The Act was subject to numerous amendments in recent years and new legal acts often raised doubts.

On 27 February 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Center for Agricultural Support and the National Council of Notaries issued a common position on the practical application of the Act on Shaping the Agricultural System. It is of no formal legal effect, but it will undoubtedly have some impact on the practice of trading, just like similar positions issued in previous years.

Tomasz Wojtczak, a trainee attorney at law in the real estate practice of GWW, writes about what results from the issued “position” on the practical application of the Act on Shaping the Agricultural System on the legal portal.
