The construction/demolition permit is the act of authority of the local public administration on the basis of which the execution of construction works is permitted, in accordance with the measures provided by law regarding the location, design, realization, operation, and post-use of constructions. The validity of the construction/demolition permit consists of a period of no more than 12 months from the date of issuance, within which the applicant is obliged to begin the authorized works. If the works are not started and the beginning of the works is not declared within the 12-month period, then the permit loses its validity. If the start of the works is declared within the legal term, the validity of the permit extends for the whole execution period of the works as provided by the permit. The construction 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 territory planning and urbanism documentation.
