As of 1 April, the scope of the Unified Building Registration Process (single process) is being expanded to also include the declaration of unfinished new buildings, thereby continuing to reduce bureaucracy in the construction process. To find out what the single process is and what the conditions for its application are, go to the Unified Process section.
Existing procedure:
The registration of a new building (construction commenced and not yet commissioned) in the Land Register was carried out on the basis of a document prepared outside information systems, to which other documents were attached, including a certificate issued by the building authority, indicating the legal basis for construction and the characteristics of the new building.
Until 01.04.2026, the registration of new building data could only be carried out through a process that required the preparation, drafting, and submission of two different documents, moreover at different times and in two different institutions (applying to the State Land Service (SLS) and, after the SLS had completed the relevant service, applying to the Land Register).
From 1 April 2026:
- New buildings constructed on one’s own land are to be registered in the Land Register on the basis of structured data from the Construction Information System (BIS) (including attached as-built survey vector files and photographs of the building) and by using the same information system (BIS, the State Real Property Cadastre Information System, and the State Unified Computerised Land Register) data exchange technical solutions that, as of 06.01.2026, ensure the single building registration process;
- In other cases, the existing procedure applies – see the materials available on the SLS website regarding the registration of an unfinished new building.
To learn how to create a declaration of an unfinished new building in 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. See the webinar programme and connection link in the Calendar on the BIS website.
