Local governments, etc., have been institutionalized to make it easier for them to acquire the land necessary for the maintenance of public facilities, under the Act on Promotion of Expansion of Public Land (hereinafter referred to as the Public Expansion Act) It is a pre-purchase system.
This system includes a notification under Article 4 of the Public Expansion Act and an application under Article 5 of the Public Expansion Act.

When trying to transfer land in Yokohama City that meets certain requirements (please check for land that requires notification of the Public Expansion Act) for a fee, the landowner must notify the The Mayor of Yokohama in advance. Hmm. If local governments wish to purchase the land, they can preferentially discuss the purchase.

When we hope for purchase from local public entities about land more than 200 square meters in Yokohama-shi, we can offer to the mayor.

If you submit a notification of the Public Expansion Act, the transfer of land will be restricted for a certain period of time.

1. Until the day three weeks have passed since the date of notification. (If there is a notice that you do not wish to purchase, until that date.)
2. If there is a notice that there is a purchase request, until three weeks have elapsed since the date of notification. (If it becomes clear that the purchase consultation will not be established, until that time.)

If the contract is concluded by applying the Public Expansion Law, you can receive preferential tax treatment (special deduction of transfer income of 15 million yen). (Consultation with the tax office is required.)

Those who fall under the following may be fined 500,000 yen or less.

1. A person who has transferred the land for a fee without notification.
2. A person who has made a false report.
3. A person who has transferred the land within the transfer restriction period.
