Nicosia EOA to Reject Building Permit Applications with Discrepancies in Area Declarations

The Nicosia EOA announced that from March 23, 2026, it will conduct strict checks on all A12 applications for building permits. The aim is to ensure the correct declaration of development areas, as irregularities were found in sample checks. Applications with significant discrepancies will be rejected immediately, without warning. Incorrect area declarations are considered a material irregularity as they affect building fees and connection fees to the water network. The responsibility for the accuracy of the information lies solely with the surveyor. After the rejection of applications, the EOA will inform the Ministry of Interior and ETEK to take appropriate measures. Fees paid will not be refunded. The Organization calls on surveyors to comply with the relevant provisions to avoid rejections.
