Building Permit Process :
Request and obtain temporary building permit:
The 35 days are divided as follows:
Day 1: Build Company submits the drawings to the municipality along with a copy of the title certificate.
Day 2: The municipality forwards the file to the municipality ward office where the land is located.
Day 4: The ward office checks the field and sends a notice to the site’s neighbours.
Day 8: Start of the maturation of notice period.
Day 23: Start of the local inquiry done by the ward office.
Day 27: The ward office sends the file back to the municipality.
Day 29: The municipality starts the process of issuing a temporary approval of the drawings. At least one of the neighbours must give their consent in order for the project to be approved. Otherwise, the builder can submit a “commitment letter” certifying that he is responsible for any potential disputes in the future. This step can delay the approval process to around 2 months.

** Identity document of the owner (or Company Registration Certificate)

** Built-up area up to 3,000 sq. ft.: NPR 10.00 per sq. ft.
** Built-up area between 3,001 and 5,000 sq. ft. : NPR 15.00 per sq. ft.
** Built-up area 5,001 sq. ft. and above: NPR 20.00 per sq. ft.
