What is unauthorized construction? Do I need to report a garage? What kind of shelter can we build in the garden without reporting it? When and where should we report a photovoltaic installation? Are we legally allowed to build a swimming pool by our house or create a place for a compost bin next to the fence? What are the penalties for building without a permit and what does the legalization procedure look like? Just because we have already occupied a building does not mean that we can freely manage its surroundings. A major amendment to the building law has indeed relaxed the regulations, but for many home buildings a notification or even a building permit is still required, and a neighbor's report to the PINB in a situation where we do not comply with them can cost us dearly. Rafał Dybicz, a court expert and construction appraiser, explains in simple words what we are allowed to build next to our house without informing the supervisory authorities, and what requires prior completion of formalities. We also talk about the increased penalties imposed on investors for unauthorized construction - and how to legalize a building that is over 20 years old in a simplified way. The conversation is interspersed with slides that supplement the content with thematically arranged lists of useful information.
