Methods. General scientific and special: generalization, abstract-logic, analysis, comparative. Results. It is determined that absence of changes in the Constitution of Ukraine, non-complex measures on decentralization of authority, untimely solution of problems of overcoming discharge of institutions of local government from management of land resources within the limits of jurisdiction of local councils restrained the process of reforming local self-management. Conclusions. Completion of process of decentralization of authority, except for modification of the Constitution of Ukraine, causes adoption of acts for transfer to the communal property of lands outside human settlements, modification in the Land code, laws on land organization and on the state land cadastre. The power of joint territorial communities should include the following: implementation of state land policy, maintain cadastre, organization of land-use, control of land-use, and protection of lands.
