Permit for an extension to a private house

Quite often, owners of a private house are faced with the question: how to get a permit for an extension. Let’s start with the fact that the extension is an additional part of the building. It is not a component of the immovable structure of the house. In most cases, it has one/several common walls with a private house. According to the current legislation, it is necessary to obtain a permit for an extension to a private house. How can this be done, what documents will be needed for this? These and other questions will be considered in this article by real estate lawyers of our Prykhodko and Partners law office.

What are the types of extensions?

Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that the annex is one of the parts of the real estate object, which is located outside the main territory of a private house. The building is divided into two categories: residential and non-residential. Its main functional purpose is to expand the available area. For example, it can be a summer kitchen, garage, attic, terrace, living room.

Important: before starting construction work and the registration procedure, it is important to clearly distinguish what exactly is an extension and what is a general part of the living space.

The functionality of such extensions can be diverse. They are used as non-residential or residential premises, heating and other communications are connected. There are designs that do not require the presence of a foundation and do not significantly change the existing parameters of a private house. These are not capital structures. That is why their construction does not require a permit.

Stages of obtaining permits for an extension to a private house

The complexity and stages of the procedure for obtaining a permit for an extension to a private house depend on the following factors:

• The capital of the extension.

If we are talking about, for example, a shed or a porch, a permit is not required. These are not capital extensions.

• Area, functional purpose of the extension.
• Building construction time.

Real estate experts Prykhodko and Partners will help you choose the most optimal procedure for issuing a permit for an extension to a private house.

Among the basic documents that will be needed to obtain a permit for an extension to a private house:

• Passport and personal identification number of all co-owners.
• Documents that reflect ownership of the land plot.
• Documents for the main building that confirm ownership.

Is it possible to carry out the procedure of legalization of an extension that has already been erected?

As evidenced by the practice of building extensions, quite often this element is first reduced to a private house, and only then does the question of its legalization arise. To do this, you need to perform a number of actions:

• Contact an engineer to develop a technical passport.
• Develop a report on the technical capacity for an extension from 100 m2.
• Register the Declaration on legalization of the real estate object.
• Carry out the procedure of registration of the right of ownership in accordance with the procedure established by the current legislation.

Therefore, the current Ukrainian legislation allows the construction of extensions to already existing private houses. The procedure for obtaining a permit for an extension depends on a variety of factors. Including:

1. Availability of land ownership.
2. Period of construction of the extension.
3. The area of ​​the extension.
4. Purpose of the extension, etc.
