New Building Law: Simplifications, Civil Protection, and Energy Storage
The act simplifies construction procedures, exempting small public buildings, home protective structures, and energy storage from permits. It introduces new obligations for investors, such as civil protection declarations and fire safety approvals for energy storage. The changes aim to make building easier and safer, but also add new formalities.
Key points
Construction of small public buildings (up to 200 m²) and home protective structures (up to 35 m²) will no longer require a permit, only notification.
New definitions are introduced, e.g., for residential, utility buildings, shelters, and energy storage, standardizing the regulations.
Investors building objects referred to in Art. 93–95 of the Civil Protection Act must submit a declaration on the obligation to build a protective structure or adapt the building for shelter, or the absence of such obligation.
Energy storage up to 300 kWh can be built without a permit; larger ones (up to 2000 kWh) require notification and fire safety approvals.
Penalties for neglecting building maintenance are increased, with a fine of not less than 100 daily rates, restriction of liberty, or up to one year in prison.
Alternative solutions for renovations can be used without needing a formal exemption from regulations.
The deadline for building supervision to object to unauthorized construction is shortened from 3 to 2 years.
Flood-related rules: temporary structures in municipalities indicated in flood regulations can remain longer (up to 2 years) without land-use changes.
