The RA Civil Code clearly defines that: territorial boundaries of a land parcel shall be determined, as prescribed by law, by the state authorized body, on the ground of the documents issued to the owner. The right of ownership to land parcel shall extend to terrestrial and underground territory within the boundaries thereof, except for the cases provided for by law. Owner of the land parcel shall have the right to use everything situated on and under the surface of his or her land parcel, unless otherwise provided for by law and unless it violates the rights of other persons.
The land parcels — the use of which for the purposes other than the designated and operational purposes thereof is prohibited or restricted — shall be determined by law. Owner of a land parcel may, in compliance with the norms and rules of urban development, as well as subject to the requirements with respect to the purpose of the land parcel, construct buildings and structures thereon, to reconstruct or demolish them, unless otherwise provided for by law. Owner of a land parcel shall acquire the right of ownership to buildings, structures and other immovable property constructed on the land parcel belonging to him or her. Consequences of unauthorized construction by the owner on a land parcel belonging to him or her shall be determined in accordance with Article 188 of this Code.
Land parcels, which are state or community ownership, may be transferred to other persons for the purpose of development only by the right of ownership, except for the cases of provision to foreign states and international organizations for diplomatic and representative purposes, as well as for the land parcels, which are state and community ownership, defined by the Land Code of the Republic of Armenia, the transfer of which by the right of ownership is prohibited.
