Obtaining Building Passports for land development

Building permit for land development - what is it?

A building permit is a document that defines the requirements for the placement and construction of an individual residential, garden or summer house no higher than two floors (excluding the attic) with an area of up to 500 square meters and outbuildings and structures, garages, elements of landscaping and landscaping of the land plot.

Cases when you need to issue a Construction Passport

If you own a land plot and have decided to build on the plot, for example, a residential building, you need to take a number of steps to legally begin construction work.

Procedure for submitting a notice of commencement of construction work

According to the provisions of the current Legislation of Ukraine, for the construction of buildings and structures that belong to objects with the impact class of SS1, before starting construction, it is necessary to:

• obtain a document called the “Construction passport for the development of a land plot”;

• after that, submit a notice of commencement of construction work through the Construction Activity Portal;

• then the Construction Customer can carry out the construction of the object on legal grounds.

Note

Most cottages and land development projects of individuals are classified as projects with a CC1 impact class (projects with minor liability consequences).

In the case of the construction of an individual residential, garden or summer house no higher than two floors (excluding the attic) with an area of up to 500 square meters and outbuildings and structures, garages, elements of landscaping and landscaping of the land plot, the Construction Passport for the development of the land plot is drawn up.

But in some cases, before starting construction, it is necessary to obtain another type of document - Town Planning Conditions and Land Plot Restrictions. Therefore, when preparing a package of documentation for the planned construction, it is advisable to consult with the design organization or the authorized Urban Planning and Architecture Authority of the local government body on the territory of which construction is planned.
