ArmInfo.Head of the Cadastre Committee of Armenia Suren Tovmasyan called on citizens to no longer spend money on unauthorized buildings. "In fact, 2024 was the last year in terms of registering unauthorized buildings," he said at the final press conference on January 7.
He recalled that on December 16, 2021, the Armenian government, by the draft law "On Amendments and Additions to the Civil Code of the Republic of Armenia", decided to establish the procedure for registering unauthorized building sites, as well as the form of consent of customers for a new registration package for unauthorized buildings. At that time, the deadlines for applications submitted to the Cadastre Committee for the implementation of registration were determined. Thus, applications for registration of unauthorized buildings in Yerevan must be submitted before January 1, 2023, and in the case of other urban communities - before January 1, 2024. These provisions concerned applications for buildings erected before January 1, 2021. However, in the case of buildings constructed after January 1, 2021, applications must be submitted within two months after the entry into force of the government decree.
As a result, about 7,150 illegal buildings were registered in 2024. In total, about 70 thousand such buildings have been registered through the electronic registration system since 2022.
, he said.
At the same time, Tovmasyan admitted, it is obvious that many illegal buildings were left , since there are those who, for various reasons, missed the above-mentioned deadlines. Nevertheless, Suren Tovmasyan emphasized, they missed the for legalizing the illegal building. And the head of the department urged those who are planning construction at this stage to first obtain the appropriate permit, and only then begin construction.
