Legalization and registration of a house built without a construction permit

Very often there are situations when the construction or reconstruction of a house is carried out without the appropriate documentation. Illegal construction is a common practice associated with insufficient knowledge of legal norms or with a deliberate violation of them. Legalization and registration of a house built without a construction permit is one of the areas of work of our legal company "PRIKHODKO & PARTNERS".

A house built without the appropriate permits falls under the category of self-construction (self-build). In other words, this building was built illegally. For this, the legislation of Ukraine provides for significant fines, and such real estate cannot be sold, bequeathed, or gifted. Thus, the legalization of the house is an actual topic.

The procedure for legitimizing a house built without permits

Legalization of the house is a process that involves bringing the actually existing house to the requirements of legal status. We are talking about the development of planning construction documentation, conducting an inventory, putting the building into operation. The final stage involves obtaining a document on state registration of property rights to real estate.

Legalization and registration of a house built without a permit can be carried out on the basis of one of the following methods:

• Through the court

Important: the court hears only cases related to completed construction sites. According to the adopted decision, the right of ownership is registered by state bodies. Thus, arbitrary construction will be legalized.

In order for the court to make a decision on legalization, it must comply with all construction or technical regulations. Also, it must be built on a plot of land owned by the developer.

• Registration of the building object in accordance with the requirements of current legislation

Depending on the category of complexity, it is necessary:

1. Get a construction passport or urban planning conditions/restrictions.
2. Develop project documentation.
3. Conduct a technical inventory.
4. Put the facility into operation.
5. Registration of the house in the State Service with the receipt of a Certificate confirming the right of ownership.

• Simplified legalization procedure

This applies to buildings that were commissioned before 1992. The fact is that until this year there were no legislative requirements regarding the mandatory commissioning of private houses.
