To obtain permission for the construction of private houses the Ukrainian legislation provides for a simplified procedure for registration of necessary documents, and the declarative principle of obtaining building rights.
This was stated by the Deputy Minister of regional development, construction and housing and communal services of Ukraine Lev Partskhaladze.
"We have already discussed how to legalize the unauthorized construction, but what to do if you only plan the construction of their home? Now the legislation provides for a simplified procedure of registration of necessary documents for this and the declarative principle of obtaining building rights. That is, the start of construction it is simply necessary to notify the appropriate local unit urban planning and architecture. But you should first obtain the construction passport for your future home," he said.

1 — individual (farmstead) houses up to 500 sqm within the settlements;
2 — garden, the country house is not higher than 2 storeys (excluding attic floor), 500 sq m outside the settlements (in the territories dacha and horticultural associations);
3 — farm buildings and structures, garages, landscaping elements and planting the land.
