Zoning Law (Law No. 3194)

Provisional Article 5

Chapter Six: Provisions Relating to the Bosphorus Law No. 2960

Gedik rights and ground rights (örfü belde-paftos) located within or outside municipal boundaries and adjacent areas shall be liquidated in accordance with the provisions of this Law, irrespective of whether or not they have lost their existence by being completely demolished and extinguished (müntafi ve münhedim).

The ground rights in immovable property subject to liquidation have been converted into a monetary price.

The ground right price is 1/5 of the latest property tax value of the ground of the immovable property to which it belongs. The ground right price thus determined shall, upon application by the gedik holder, be deposited in trust by the land registry administration with a national bank in the name of the holder of the ground right. If no application is made, a statutory mortgage shall be established in favour of the ground owner.

1/4 of the ground right price shall be paid in advance and the balance in equal annual instalments within three years at the latest, and the bank shall apply demand deposit interest to this amount. The advance amount and the instalments may not be less than TL 40 000. After these procedures, the necessary deletions and corrections shall be made ex officio in the land register.

Claims concerning the ground right price deposited in trust with the bank or secured by mortgage are subject to the general provisions.

GEÇİCİ MADDE 5

Belediye hudutları ve mücavir sahalar içinde veya dışında bulunan gedik ve zeminler (örfü belde-paftos) tamamen yıkılıp yok olarak (müntafi ve münhedim) varlıklarını kaybedip, kaybetmediklerine bakılmaksızın bu Kanun hükümlerine göre tasfiye olunurlar.

Tasfiyeye tabi tutulan taşınmaz mallardaki zemin hakları bedele çevrilmiştir.

Zemin hakkı bedeli, ait olduğu taşınmaz malın zemine ait son emlak vergi değerinin 1/5'idir. Bu şekilde belirlenecek zemin hakkı bedeli, tapu idaresince gedik sahibinin müracaatı halinde zemin hakkı sahibi adına emaneten milli bir bankaya yatırılır. Müracaat edilmediği takdirde zemin sahibi lehine kanuni ipotek tesis edilir.

Zemin hakkı bedelinin 1/4'ü peşin, bakiyesi en geç üç yıl içinde yıllık eşit taksitlerle ödenir ve bu bedele bankaca vadesiz mevduat faizi uygulanır. Peşin miktar ve taksitler 40 000 TL. dan az olamaz. Bu işlemlerden sonra tapu sicilinde gerekli terkin ve tashihler resen yapılır.

Bankaya emaneten yatırılan veya ipotekle temin edilen zemin hakkı bedeli üzerindeki iddialar genel hükümlere tabidir.
