Details
The execution of construction works is allowed only on the basis of a building permit, as regulated by Law no. 50/1991 on the authorization of the execution of construction works, republished with subsequent amendments and completions.

The building/demolition permit is the document that gives citizens the right to build, as well as to strengthen/repair/demolish an existing construction. This document is issued by the Bucharest Sector 4 City Hall, through the General Directorate of Urban Planning and Territorial Development, based on a file that includes a series of approvals, agreements, technical project, is valid for a maximum of 12 months from the date of issue and can be extended by another 24 months.

According to the normative act, the building permit is issued at the request of the holder of a real right (ownership, use, usufruct, superficies, easement, etc.) over a property (land and/or buildings), in compliance with the provisions of territorial planning and urban planning documentation.
Law no. 50/1991 also provides for a series of cases in which a building permit is not required according to art. 11.

For the issuance of the building/demolition permit, the applicant will create an account on the platform start.ps4.ro where they will submit a request for the issuance of the building/demolition permit.

The value of the fee for issuing the building/demolition permit is set by the Fiscal Code, at art. 267 and by a decision of the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest (HCGMB) and is calculated as follows:
- Natural persons – developed area (built area) x area coefficient (A, B, C, D resulting from CU) x 1.129/sqm
- Legal entities – the estimate calculated by the beneficiary is considered:
· for collective housing – estimate*0.5%
· for other destinations - estimate*1.0%
The fee can be paid via bank transfer to account RO70TREZ70421160203XXXXX TREZORERIA SECTORULUI 4, SECTORUL 4 OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BUCHAREST, CUI 4316422, at SelfPay machines or online when submitting the application.
Failure to start works or to complete them within the established deadlines results in the loss of the validity of the permit, making it necessary to issue a new building/demolition permit. If the characteristics do not change compared to the initial permit, a new building permit may be issued, without the need for a new urban planning certificate.

Information regarding CHANGE OF SCOPE and SITE ORDER

According to the definition in annex no. 2 Law 50/1991, a change of scope means any change initiated by the investor/owner regarding the functions and/or characteristic functional capacities, approved technical-economic indicators, spatial and/or siting solutions and other such requirements, which formed the basis for drawing up the technical documentation - D.T. on which the building permit was issued.
According to the provisions of art.7, para. 15 of Law 50/1991, if, during the execution of the works and only during the validity period of the building permit scope changes occur regarding the authorized construction works, which lead to the need to modify them, the holder is obliged to request a new building permit, according to the provisions of this law.
To obtain a new building permit, according to the provisions, the applicant will submit new technical documentation - D.T. drawn up according to the changes of scope that occurred, so that the competent local public administration authority decides, as appropriate:
a) the issuance of the new building permit, if the works corresponding to the changes of scope are within the limits of the administrative act of the competent authority for environmental protection, as well as the approvals and agreements obtained for the initial building permit;
b) the re-initiation of the authorization procedure under this law, if the works corresponding to the changes of scope exceed the limits of the administrative act of the competent authority for environmental protection, as well as the approvals and agreements obtained for the initial building permit.
Checking whether the works corresponding to the changes of scope fall within the limits of the approvals and agreements obtained for the initial building permit is carried out by the specialized structures of the competent public administration authority, as well as by certified project inspectors according to the law, for each essential quality requirement in construction, with the participation of representatives of the approving institutions.
Checking whether the works corresponding to the changes of scope fall within the limits of the administrative act of the competent authority for environmental protection is carried out by this authority under the provisions of the legislation regarding the impact assessment of certain public and private projects on the environment.
For transport infrastructure projects of national interest, checking whether the works corresponding to the changes of design scope fall within the limits of the approvals and agreements obtained for the initial building permit is carried out by the Ministry of Transport, as well as by certified project inspectors according to the law, for each essential quality requirement in construction, with the participation of representatives of the approving institutions affected by the changes. The summoning of representatives of the approving institutions is done by the Ministry of Transport. The minutes of the meeting together with all documents required by law form the basis for the issuance of the building permit.

According to the methodological norms for the application of Law no. 50/1991 regarding the authorization of the execution of construction works of 12.10.2009, based on the site order given by the designer of the works and verified by a project inspector certified according to the law, as well as with the written consent of the beneficiary/investor/administrator/project manager, as the case may be, local changes to the technical solutions in the authorized technical documentation - D.T. may be admitted without issuing a new building permit, if:
a) the function recorded in the initial permit is not changed;
b) compliance with the provisions of the approvals/agreements/standpoint of the competent authority for environmental protection, as well as of its administrative act, as appropriate, annexed to the initial permit is ensured;
c) compliance with the provisions of the Civil Code is ensured;
d) siting conditions (height regime, POT, CUT, alignment, minimum distances from property boundaries, or the appearance of the construction) are not changed;
e) the resistance and stability of neighboring buildings are not endangered;
f) compliance with the provisions of the technical regulations in the field of fire safety is ensured;
g) energy efficiency is ensured.
They are included in the provisions and works that become necessary in special cases determined by consideration of unforeseen situations at the design stage (as a result of uncoverings, foundation surveys, etc.), which are carried out on existing constructions, including historical monuments (with the approval of the competent bodies of the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs).
In the situations provided above, responsibility for the technical correctness of the modifying solution lies with the designer, together with the project inspector(s), and the permit holder is obliged to submit (in copy) to the permit issuer the specified documentation and/or documents, as evidence.
