New flood relief: state buyout of properties, renovation bonuses, and construction simplifications

The act introduces new forms of aid for flood victims, including the option to sell a destroyed house to the state and a new benefit for renovating rented commercial premises. It also simplifies the reconstruction and renovation of buildings by removing some construction formalities. Additionally, it provides renovation bonuses for multi-family buildings and funding for volunteer fire brigades for equipment.
Key points
Property buyout: Owners of houses destroyed by the flood and designated for demolition can apply by October 1, 2025, for the State Treasury to buy them out at the pre-flood market price.
New local benefit: Owners of commercial premises destroyed by the flood can receive one-time support for renovation, provided the premises were rented to an entrepreneur.
Flood renovation bonus: A new bonus covering 50% to 70% of the renovation costs for multi-family buildings damaged by the flood has been introduced.
Construction simplifications: Renovating damaged buildings will only require notification, not a building permit, which will speed up repair work.
Support for volunteer fire brigades: Municipalities can receive subsidies for the purchase of specialist equipment for volunteer fire brigades that was destroyed during rescue operations.
Bonus for social workers: Social workers assisting flood victims will receive a one-off salary supplement of PLN 2,000.
Increased drying-out allowance: The flood allowance will be automatically increased by PLN 1,000 to cover the cost of energy or fuel for drying out rooms.
