The building/demolition permit is the act of authority of the local public administration based on which the execution of construction works is allowed in accordance with the legal measures regarding the placement, design, completion, operation, and post-use of constructions. The validity of the building/demolition permit consists of a period of no more than 12 months from the date of issuance, during which the applicant is required to start the authorized works. If the works are not started and the commencement is not declared within the 12-month period, then the permit loses its validity. If the commencement of the works is declared within the legal term, the validity of the permit extends for the entire duration of the execution of the works provided for in the permit. The building permit is issued at the request of the holder of the property title over a real estate (land and/or constructions), in compliance with the provisions of the land use and urban planning documentation.
