Additional list of building permits

The list of additional conditions and requirements for their use in obtaining a building permit has been improved. The innovation has been approved by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, the text of which is published today in the official media.

Additional permission is provided for cases of construction work (restoration and recovery) in the areas declared polluted by the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources from an environmental point of view. There are other possibilities for additional permission - in the case of negative impacts (physical-mechanical, physical and chemical) for the construction of stationary monuments of history and culture, as well as if the building is close to the specified sites.

Another decision of the Government of Azerbaijan adopted a single form of authorization for the operation of construction projects.

The Chairman of the Center for Economic Research Ghalib Togrul, commenting the innovation, said that most of the developments are carried out at a private level, but the companies are also constrained due to the lack of conditions for normal business. According to him, even an official resource (http://russian.doingbusiness.org/data/exploreeconomies/azerbaijan) believes that the country is facing an unbearable situation with the issuance of building permits, where the middle and, especially, small businesses face big challenges for harmonization - because of paperwork and 28 mandatory procedures stretching for about 9 months, Azerbaijan has become in the last year 180^th in the world (the year before it was the 179^th). --17D-
