How to legalize unauthorized construction during martial law?

During martial law, there are no additional restrictions on the legalization of unauthorized construction (samobud). However, it is important to follow the legal rules and procedures to ensure that your real estate is legalized.

What is unauthorized construction?

An unauthorized construction is a real estate object that was built or is being built in violation of the established rules. Unauthorized construction includes:

  • An object built or under construction on a land plot that was not allocated for this purpose:
    This means that construction is carried out on land that is not intended for residential or commercial development.
  • The construction is carried out without the appropriate permits and/or design:
    The absence of building permits or an approved project is a serious violation.
  • Construction is carried out with significant violations of building codes and regulations:
    This may include non-compliance with building codes regarding safety, structural strength, fire safety, etc.

The procedure for legalizing self-induced construction

To legalize a self-induced construction, you need to go through certain steps and collect the necessary documents.

  • Preparation of documents:
    Collect all documents confirming your ownership of the land plot.
    Prepare technical documentation for the unauthorized construction.
  • Apply to local authorities:
    Submit an application for the legalization of the unauthorized construction to the relevant local authorities. The application must contain all the necessary documents and technical specifications of the object.
  • Conducting a technical examination:
    In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct a technical examination to determine whether the building complies with building codes and regulations.
  • Obtaining permits and approvals:
    After submitting an application and conducting an expert examination, you will receive the appropriate permits and approvals to legalize the unauthorized construction.
  • Registration of ownership:
    After obtaining all the necessary permits, it is necessary to register the ownership of the object in the State Register of Real Property Rights.
