As of 1 April, the scope of the Unified Construction Registration Process (the Unified Process) is being expanded to also include the declaration of unfinished new buildings, thereby continuing efforts to reduce bureaucracy in the construction process. To learn what the Unified Process is and under what conditions it applies, please visit the “Unified Process” section.

Existing procedure (until 31 March 2026):

An unfinished new building (construction started but not yet commissioned) is registered in the Cadastre Information System based on a declaration of an unfinished new building and the accompanying documents submitted to the State Land Service. Subsequently, the registration of the unfinished new building in the Land Register is carried out on the basis of a certificate issued by the building authority, which indicates the legal basis for construction and the characteristics of the new building.

As of 1 April 2026:

• New buildings constructed on one’s own land may be registered in the Land Register with a single application prepared in the Construction Information System, simultaneously initiating data registration in the Cadastre and the registration of ownership rights in the Land Register.The applicant must attach to the application the vector file of the as-built survey plan (DGN or DWG) and photographs of the building (JPG or a similar file format).
• In all other cases, the existing procedure applies.

To learn how to create a declaration of an unfinished new building in the Construction Information System (BIS), the State Construction Control Bureau is organising a training webinar on 8 April 2026 from 10:00 to 12:00, online via Microsoft Teams. The webinar programme and connection link are available in the Calendar section of the BIS website.
