BUILDING PERMIT
Property owners need to know what to do from the outset in order to secure their rights and avoid difficulties and obstacles. As the law stipulates that all buildings must have a building permit before they are constructed, let’s take a look at everything we need to know about Building Permits. And if you have an unauthorized building, i.e., a building without a legal building permit, don’t worry. Take advantage of the present and settle any outstanding issues. After all, “better late than never” is not just a random piece of folk wisdom from our ancestors.
CITY ENGINEERING specializes in Building Permit services and has detailed knowledge of the latest requirements under the relevant legislation. Our goal is to ensure that you receive your plans and permits within a reasonable time frame so that you can start construction as soon as possible.
What is a building permit?
In simple terms, a building permit is: an official document that gives you permission to build on land or make changes to a building. In our country, it is prohibited to construct or alter a building, or even demolish a building, without a building permit (formerly known as a construction permit).
Let’s put it another way, a little more legally.
A Building Permit is an official administrative act approved and issued by the Building Authority (Town Planning) of your local municipality, allowing you to proceed with the construction, demolition, addition, or renovation of your property. The Building Permit is accompanied by the studies of the authorized Engineer, which have been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the New Building Regulations (Article 1 of Law 4030/2011 and Article 4 of Law 4067/2012).
The file containing the approved studies by the competent authorities, such as archaeology, municipality, etc., is submitted electronically through the e-adeies service. The competent Building Authority examines your permit plans to ensure that there are no irregularities and that they comply with the New Building Regulations, local Building Zone Regulations, and other applicable laws. Following this process, the Building Permit is approved. Work can begin with the pre-approval for the issuance of the Permit, depending on the category to which it belongs (1st, 2nd, or 3rd).

It is reviewed after its expiration for the extension of its validity, upon request by the beneficiary and after an on-site inspection.
