Abstract. This paper discusses the features of such a unique land plot type as the unified land use. This type of a land plot appeared by virtue of the Russian Federal Law No. 28-FZ “On the State Land Cadastre” dated January 2, 2000. However, the current land legislation does not contain such a term. Currently, the unified land use cannot be formed, but previously registered land still exists in the state cadastre. In addition to a number of features in the land register procedure, the unified land use has no restrictions and freely participates in civilian circulation. Land plots that are the unified land use may be subject to all types of transformation specified in 11.9 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation, with the transformation into two types: the so-called ordinary plot and multi-contour land plot. It should also be noted that there is no term of multi-contour land plot in the land legislation. Some authors draw an analogy between the unified land use and a multi-contour land plot. However, there are a number of differences.
