Unauthorized construction" must be registered in Armenia by the end of 2026

YEREVAN, January 8. /ARКА/. At a meeting held on Thursday, the Armenian government introduced amendments and additions to a previously adopted decision, which was triggered by the approval of the draft law "On Amendments and Supplements to the Civil Code of the Republic of Armenia."

New legal standards have been established for the registration of unauthorized construction, clarifying their legal status and regulating property rights. The decision details the procedure for registering unauthorized constructions.

Specifically, these constructions are registered by submitting the registration package to the online cadastral bureau, which is then subject to approval by the Cadastre Committee. This process guarantees the legal finalization of the registration and informs the applicant about the acceptance or rejection of the unauthorized construction registration.

The Cadastre Committee holds the power to approve or reject the registration of unauthorized construction upon receiving an application, as well as to outline the specifics of the registration process for state-owned and community-owned lands. In this regard, there are intentions to create a legal framework for the registration of unauthorized buildings within the additional timeframe established by law, which extends until December 31, 2026. -0-
