The Pomestny Prikaz (estate office) is an administrative position tasked with management of pomestye (personal lands held for life) and votchina (hereditary) landed estates. These two functions are both associated with the Zemshchina, which are public lands held by boyars and are unrelated to the oprichnina, which are personal lands held by the Tsar himself. The jurisdiction of the Pomestny Prikaz extends also to the collection of taxation in the Tsardom as a whole, except for the case of tax collection from Streltsy.
