Permit to Demolish

In an area covered by a local detailed plan or where a building prohibition for the purpose of drawing up a local detailed plan is in force, a building or part thereof may not be demolished without a permit. A permit is also needed if so required in the local master plan. No permit is required if there is a currently valid building permit. There are also other exceptions in the law when no permit is required. Unless the demolition requires a permit, the local building supervision authority shall be notified in writing of the demolition of a building or part thereof 30 days before the demolition work begins (demolition notification). The permit application must explain how the demolition work will be organized and the capacity to handle resulting building waste and to reuse any usable building components.
