BG- Guidelines for Obtaining a Sustainable Status of Housing Constructions built without Construction Papers

These Guidelines for Obtaining a Sustainable Status of Housing Constructions built without Construction Papers aim to provide practical tools for the municipalities participating in the Romact program to assist the households living in these dwellings to obtain legal status and avoid demolitions and forced evictions.

The Guidelines provide information on available legal tools in different situations depending on the ownership of the land where the constructions are built. The sustainable status of the dwellings will provide opportunities for increasing security and improvement of the living conditions of the affected persons. It will also increase the local revenues by collecting taxes on buildings with a stable status; attracting investments and resources for infrastructure projects in new residential areas and improving public health for families who are comfortable investing in improving their living conditions.
