Construction permits

☐ Complexity categories

CC1 — simple objects (garage, shed): notification build. CC2 — houses up to 5 floors. CC3 — complex. Category sets the procedure.

☐ Start notification (CC1)

Via Diia/TSNAP file a works-start notification. No permit needed — just notification + site building passport.

☐ Building passport

Site document with building intent: placement scheme, parameters. Issued by the urban-planning authority before works.

☐ Construction permit (CC2/CC3)

Filed with design documentation, land rights, urban-planning conditions. Review ~10 business days via the e-registry.

☐ Readiness declaration

After completion — readiness declaration (CC1/CC2) or commissioning act (CC3). Without it the house is an unauthorized build.

☐ Required documents

Land right (ownership/lease with build right), urban-planning conditions, design documentation, estimate for CC3.

☐ Unauthorized-build risks

Building without notification/permit: fines, no utility connections, can't commission, hard to sell. Legalization possible but long.
