The building/demolition permit is the act of authority of the local public administration based on which the execution of construction works is permitted, according to the measures provided by law regarding the location, conception, execution, operation, and post-use of constructions. The validity of the building/demolition permit consists of a period of time, of no more than 12 months from the date of issue, within which the applicant is obliged to start the authorized works. If the works are not started and the commencement is not declared within the 12-month term, then the permit loses its validity. If the commencement of works is declared within the legal term, the validity of the permit is extended for the entire duration of the works as provided by the permit. The building permit is issued at the request of the holder of the ownership title over a property (land and/or constructions), with compliance to the provisions of the spatial planning and urbanism documentation.
