Assistance in legalizing unauthorized buildings
Are you having problems with unauthorized construction and need to legalize unauthorized construction? Our lawyers will help you quickly resolve this problem. We provide services to resolve any issues arising with self-construction.
The main reasons for which there is a need to register ownership of such buildings are:
- Legal liability for unauthorized construction. The current legislation of Ukraine provides for liability for such actions: a fine, a warning may be imposed, or a decision may be made to force the demolition of the building.
- The need to sell, donate, lease or other actions aimed at alienating the building. It is impossible to realize such rights with self-construction.
- The need to connect communications (water, gas, electricity). When connecting utilities, it is necessary to submit the appropriate title documents, which the self-built building simply does not have.
It is worth noting that the legalization of unauthorized construction is a rather complex process that requires additional knowledge and is difficult to figure out on your own. The international law firm Nobilex Law will do everything for you quickly and efficiently. Our qualified lawyers have over 11 years of experience in successfully resolving such issues.
What is unauthorized construction?
Unauthorized construction is considered to be the construction of real estate that was erected without permits or in violation of building codes. It can also be a building erected on a site that does not belong to the developer or on a site that is not intended for such buildings. Carrying out reconstructions, major repairs, re-equipment and other similar actions without permits, in violation of the norms provided for by law, also applies to unauthorized buildings.
Under the Law on Urban Development provisions, the technical passport is drawn up with a note on the technical inspection for further commissioning under the “construction amnesty” procedure, if the technical and economic indicators correspond to those stated in the legislation. Clause 9 of the Final and Transitional Provisions of the Law “On Urban Development Activities”: The body of the state architectural and construction control free of charge within 10 working days from the date of submission of the application by the owners (users) of the land plots on which the construction objects are located, according to the class of consequences (responsibility) belong to objects with insignificant consequences (СС1), built on a plot of land of the corresponding purpose without a permit document for the performance of construction works, based on the results of a technical survey, accepts into operation:
- built in the period from August 5, 1992, to April 9, 2015, individual (homestead) residential houses, garden and country houses with a total area of up to 500 square meters, as well as household (homestead) buildings and structures with a total area of up to 500 square meters;
- buildings and structures of agricultural purpose built before March 12, 2011.
The procedure for putting such facilities into operation and carrying out a technical inspection is determined by the central executive body, which ensures the formation of state policy in the field of urban planning. At the same time, the technical inspection of individual (homestead) residential buildings, garden and country houses with a total area of up to 500 square meters inclusive, household (homestead) buildings and structures with a total area of up to 100 square meters inclusive is carried out during their technical inventory with a corresponding mark in the technical passport.
To the owners (users) of land plots who, under this clause, have submitted documents on acceptance into operation of construction objects constructed without a permit to perform construction works, fines for performing construction works without obtaining documents giving the right to perform them, and for operation or use of construction objects that have not been put into operation do not apply.
