We have repeatedly raised the question of what stages need to be completed in order to legitimize self-construction and become the legal owner of real estate and not pay fines for unauthorized construction. Today we will talk about current options for legalizing a country house in Ukraine in 2023!

There are several options for the legalization of independent construction.

1. Legalization of a country house under amnesty until 2019

A residential, garden, country house with a total area of up to 300 m2, farm buildings and structures with a total area of up to 300 m2, built between August 5, 1992 and April 9, 2015, can be legalized if:

• The purpose of the land plot meets the construction requirements.
• Available documents for the right of ownership or use of the land plot.
• Assigned cadastral number to the land plot.
• The construction was carried out in accordance with the rules and norms of construction, a technical inspection was carried out by a certified specialist.

In order to legitimize self-construction under the amnesty, it is necessary to produce a technical passport for self-constructed buildings. The house and buildings, outbuildings must pass a technical inspection, which is marked in the technical passport. During the inspection, the engineer pays attention to the compliance with the rules and requirements of the Federal Building Code during construction and provides his opinion on the possibility or not of safe operation. With the application for putting into operation, certified copies of the land plot, passport data, and consents of co-owners, you need to submit a declaration about putting the object into operation to the state architectural and construction control body.

It is worth noting that quite often there are refusals to put self-builds into operation. There can be many reasons - for example, non-compliance with the requirements of DBN, inappropriate form of the technical passport or notes on the technical inspection, incorrectly entered data in the declaration, etc. In this case, you need to correct the errors and submit the package of documents for submission again. The number of submission attempts is not limited. Like the term of construction amnesty, at the moment this procedure is open-ended.
