The relevance of the research is due to the fact that at present, both in Kazakhstan and around the world, there are changes and reforms in the social, economic and political spheres, which contributes to the growth of living standards of the population, generates demand and supply for products of a market economy. In this regard, the mechanisms for the protection of property rights require increased attention from the institutions of state power, the effectiveness and improvement of current legislation. The purpose of the study is to identify potential gaps, develop evidence-based proposals for improving legislation based on international standards and international experience. The main research methods of the studied problem were historical, comparative legal, statistical, empirical, analysis and comparison, which allowed to study the problem in more detail by identifying historical patterns, real state of affairs and identify the best solutions that can be implemented in the legislation of Kazakhstan. The presented research was carried out taking into account the land policy pursued by the authorized state bodies of Kazakhstan, public associations and interested parties, which resulted in the provision of reasonable proposals for amendments to the legislation regarding the prevention and prevention of unauthorized seizure of land and its illegal sale. The theoretical significance of the research is aimed at the scientific understanding of such a negative phenomenon as the unauthorized seizure of the earth. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the proposed provisions are aimed at improving the national legislation that contributes to minimizing and counteracting offenses in this area.

We consider the issue of counteraction of Republic of Kazakhstan prosecution authorities to violations in the land legislation sphere. In this manner, the current reforms to improve the social and economic well-being of citizens in the Republic of Kazakhstan have affected such a burning sphere of public relations as the land issue. It is noted that other values, in particular spiritual and material goods, pale before the right to own the private property institution. It is stated that the existing demand for land and the lack of equal opportunities to obtain them contributes to the emergence of corruption risks. The role of the state course coordinator is legally assigned to the supreme supervisory body of the Republic of Kazakhstan – the Prosecutor General’s office. The inspections carried out by the prosecutor’s office in the activities of local executive bodies reveal numerous law violations, allowed when granting land for individual housing construction, failure to comply with the procedure for issuing land, the use of various schemes to bypass queues. However, the state does not have sufficient land resources to meet the needs of even those who are already in line. In view of what any methods for achievement of the purposes, including bribes of officials, arbitrariness and unauthorized captures of the earth are applied. We offer the ways of counteraction and prevention of the considered crimes in the sphere of land use.
