Can you have a building constructed on land you own?
To have a building constructed on your land, you
have to get permission from
the local authorities and the engineering
blue-prints of the building must be in line with the official
Construction Plan.
There are many Turkish companies
which specialise in construction and
contracting services. You can also use the
services of architecture and civil
engineering bureaux to construct your building.
All issues relating to the
construction of buildings/building rights are
covered by Construction Law No. 3194.
In line with this law, you can have a building
constructed on your own land provided that:
• It is in line with the official Construction Plans and current
regulations. • You obtain a “construction authorization” certificate from local
government offices.
With regards to the authorization for building rights, if your land
is within municipal borders, the relevant municipality authorizes
the construction. If your land is outside the municipal borders,
then the construction is authorised by the
relevant Provincial
Governor’s Office
(Valilik in Turkish). Please bear in mind that
you cannot construct any kind of building on land which
has been designated as
a Common Place
in the official Construction Plans, eg.
roads, green fields and parks. If you plan to buy
land and to build a property on it, you are advised to
find the appropriate
official Construction Plans approved by local
government and regulations, and to contact the relevant local
government departments. Hiring a good solicitor would be
beneficial at this
point.
