There is land on which you decided to build a house, but do not know where to start? You are not given permission to build a private house? Then this article is for you.
Permission to build a private house
A common mistake of people who want to build a house is in ignorance of the rules of the procedure for obtaining permission to build an individual building. All this can lead to problems during the construction phase and when putting the house into operation, if at all it comes to that. Well, if you own land that is intended for private housing, then obtaining a permit for the construction of private housing is not difficult. The situation is much worse for those who, out of ignorance of the law, acquired land that is not intended for building a house. Therefore, before acquiring land and starting construction, study the basic procedure for obtaining the document “Permission to build a private house” and a list of documents that will be needed for the procedure.
Documents for a building permit
To obtain permission to build an individual house, you need to contact the local administration or the body authorized to issue such permits, and write a statement in the name of the head on your behalf. To do this, you must be the land owner or tenant. You need to have a passport with you, a certificate of the land you own, a town-planning plan for the site, a planning and organization plan with a designation of the place where the IZHS object will be located.
Your application and the submitted package of documents is considered and approved collectively, on the basis of the written opinions of specialized specialists, and issuance of building permits a private house is a guarantee that all technical and sanitary standards are observed and do not violate the architectural plan of the settlement in which the construction of the house is planned. But you may not get permission to build a private house if you do not approve the project.
Project
The most difficult thing in collecting all the documents is to collect a complete set of architectural, construction and engineering documentation, which includes the following plans: situational, general plan of the site (terrain), basement or basement, floors, floors and coverings of non-repeating floors, elements of the roof truss structure, roof, foundation.
Drawings and schemes:
- electrician, switchboard, lightning rod;
- plumbing and sewage, hot and cold water;
- gas;
- heating, ventilation.
And:
- section of the house;
- facades and topographic survey of the site with the street;
- project passport;
- construction estimate;
- technical and economic indicators;
- section of the foundation with architectural and construction units and details.
As you can see, the projects of private houses are not only a diagram of the future house drawn in sections, but also plans for building on a land plot, and drawings of communications.
Obtaining a building permit is associated with the professional development of the entire project. Therefore, if in order to save money trying to draw on their own, it may turn out to be more expensive in time and money. It is better to contact a specialized company in which there are ready-made projects for private homes. This will simplify obtaining a building permit. Or order an individual project, assigning copyright to it.
The author’s project is not a cheap pleasure, but it is developed on the basis of the terrain and the place of future construction.
Permission to build an object can be guaranteed if you invite a contractor who will be directly involved in construction work. As a rule, contractors have many diverse projects for individual construction, one of which will definitely suit the terrain. At the same time, you will save money, time and save your nerves by taking a ready-made and licensed project from the customer, which will 100% help to get permission to build a house in the near future. The contractor will take care of you technical conditions from utilities, supply of household supply networks, which ultimately will simplify the commissioning of the facility.
The issued permit is valid for ten years, even after the sale of the land to another person or after donation and barter.
If in ten years the construction of the house does not begin and 95% of the volume of work completed is not achieved, then you will have to write again the application to the organization authorized to issue permits, attaching all of the above documents.
Often, future builders are wondering if a permit for the construction of a country house or garage is needed.
Country house
Permission to build a country house is most often not required if the summer house is being built on a summer cottage, which is not intended for private housing construction, and the construction itself is not planned for permanent residence. It is not required for the construction of a bath, a barn and a garage.
But, unfortunately, this rule does not apply everywhere. For example, if your site is located in the Moscow region, it is best to go to the local government and find out if you need a building permit. The Moscow region is developing more dynamically than other regions, therefore, where permission was not required today, it may need to be tomorrow, because I can lay pipes, electricity, a gas pipeline near your site and your construction will violate safety requirements.
What is fraught with the lack of permission
The unauthorized construction of a house or cottage without a permit threatens to bring to administrative responsibility an unauthorized person and the demolition of its construction by court decision.
Known cases when whole villages were demolished with cottages and townhouses located on several hectares of land. A striking incident occurred in the village of Bachurino, Moscow Region, which was razed to the ground by a court decision, despite multimillion-dollar investments in construction and advertising.
Poor fishing villages, where fishermen of retirement age lived, who received from their organizations for services of one hundred square meters of land 50 years ago, and built small houses for summer or permanent residence, did not escape demolition.
Therefore, undertaking construction without permission, you may encounter the problem of putting the building into operation. You will not be able to build communications, sell or donate this house, and you will only have to sell land. And if you are brought to administrative responsibility, you are obligated to demolish the building yourself on time or, if you do not, demolish the house without your participation and write out a receipt to pay for the demolition services provided for illegal construction.
House commissioning
When a private house is built at least 95% and is suitable for living and only minor work remains, you can write an application for putting the house into operation. In this case, the executive body appoints a commission that visits the facility and checks to see how the finished housing construction complies with the initial project submitted before issuing the permit for individual housing construction. The commission includes: an architecture specialist, representatives of the fire service and sanitary and epidemiological surveillance, a developer, and a contractor.
If there are no discrepancies or they are within acceptable limits, there are no comments, the commission signs an act on acceptance of the facility and commissioning.
The technical passport for the house and the certificate of ownership are prepared and issued by the Agency for State Registration and Land Cadastre.
With these signed documents and the technical passport, the owner goes to the authorized body that issued him the building permit, because the final procedure for putting the building into operation takes place there.
Under what circumstances can I get a refusal
The acceptance certificate authorizing the commissioning of the building is a document confirming the execution of work agreed upon in the design documentation, which was submitted before the issuance of the building permit. And redevelopment, alteration of the project during the construction process should be agreed with the authority that issued the permit. If you arbitrarily made a redevelopment or made other changes in communications to the project plans, then most likely you will not sign the commissioning act. At a minimum, it will be necessary to agree on a redevelopment and already re-submit an application for acceptance of the facility into operation.
Many underestimate this moment, build houses a few centimeters closer (further) to the road, to the neighbor’s fence or change the location of the living space and kitchen. After such a redevelopment, they are refused, brought to administrative responsibility and receive a court decision on the demolition of the unfinished house.
You can also get a refusal if you have not met the deadline of ten years and you are late to deliver the property. For ten years, the conditions of the surrounding area on which you are building a house could change, in connection with this, an adjustment to the project is necessary.
You can be refused if at the time of issuing the permit you did not fulfill a number of requirements in the first ten days and did not transmit the requested documents to the authorized body.
If the commission has no claims to a private house, then they will give you an act in your hands, in which the following points should be noted:
- driveways to the house;
- sewage system;
- heating;
- water supply;
- electricity.
Without an act of entry, the house has the status of unfinished, and you cannot connect central amenities to it.
Country house: commissioning
A summer house is a building that is not intended for permanent residence and, depending on the area, has differences:
1. Cottage up to 200 square meters, up to two floors, farm building up to 100 square meters. For this suburban building, you must submit the following documents:
- land ownership;
- certificate of acceptance of the house into operation;
- BTI passport.
2. Cottage up to 350 square meters, up to two floors, outbuildings up to 150 square meters:
- land ownership;
- certificate of acceptance of the house into operation;
- BTI passport;
- inspection of the technical inspection of fire control and sanitary and epidemiological services.
3. Cottage from 350 square meters with outbuildings:
- land ownership;
- certificate of acceptance of the house into operation;
- BTI passport;
- certificate of technical inspection by fire control and sanitary and epidemiological services.
You can deal with the commissioning of a summer house yourself or entrust it to a specialized organization licensed to carry out this type of activity.
Household units for individual housing construction: commissioning
An economic block is a small building of any form, not intended for living. A bathhouse, a barn, a warehouse built from a frame or from a beam, all this refers to the type of hozblok and can have windows, doors and a porch.
Unlike houses and summer cottages, an economic block can be built without a building permit and commissioning. However, there are nuances that nevertheless oblige you to obtain permission and put the hosblock into operation, for example:
- New buildings are being built on the site of the old ones that were demolished. But if you take care in advance and draw up documents for demolition, permission is not required.
- The household block is attached to a residential building. This is considered a reconstruction of the main building, therefore permission must be obtained, otherwise the extension can be recognized as invalid, and the main building can change the status of the destination.
What documents will be needed to enter the garage:
- A statement with information about the constructed facility, referring to a permit document on the construction of a garage.
- Documents on the ground.
- Certificate of State Registration or lease of built-up land.
- Cadastral plan and scheme with the location of the garage building.
- The conclusion (originals) from the licensed organization on the compliance standards of the garage building.
Failure appeal
The refusal of permission must be reasoned and can be appealed in court.
If for some reason the acceptance certificate on putting the building into operation has not been signed for you (for example, there are frequent cases when the certificate is not signed by a fire department specialist, although you built a house without disrupting the project or with an acceptable deviation and all the necessary documents were submitted on time) - You have the right to appeal the denial in court.
The refusal must be reasoned in writing. If you have been denied verbally, then it is entirely possible that in your case you have come across a corrupt employee who is expecting a bribe from you, and this is an unlawful act. Ask for a written and reasoned refusal and file a complaint.
Summarize:
- Before buying land, you need to know its purpose, because it is not always possible to transfer it to individual housing construction.
- Before starting construction, you must get permission.
- When obtaining permission, the authorized organization may request additional documents. It’s better not to ignore the requirements, but to pass everything on time - 10 days.
- The layout, which has undergone changes during construction, is agreed with the authorized body that issued the permit. Otherwise there will be unpleasant consequences.
