Azerbaijan to introduce system for obtaining construction permits online
By Trend
By the decree of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev on simplifying the issuance of permits for the operation of a number of multi-apartment buildings, a number of changes were made to the legislation that simplify the issuance of permits for construction and operation; therefore we plan to start introducing a digital format of work, Dovlatkhan Dovlatkhanov, Deputy Head of the State Committee for City Building and Architecture, told Trend.
According to him, the transition to the digital format will completely eliminate the contact of citizens with officials, as well as increase transparency and speed up the process of the issuance of permits.
"At the moment, a single-window system, which is also used in most European countries, has already been prepared. Together with the ASAN service, we have prepared a corresponding mechanism and the process has already been launched; as such, it is already possible to apply for a permit in electronic format in Baku. So far, we are extending this principle only to those objects, the construction of which does not require an examination," Dovlatkhanov said.
According to him, this means that the principle applies in cases where a construction permit is required, but an examination for its implementation is not.
