Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About “Construction Permits and Occupancy Certificates” Services
1- What is the difference between a Certificate of Completion and an Occupancy Certificate?
Certificate of Completion confirms the completion of construction works, whereas the Occupancy Certificate is currently the most important document under the new Saudi Building Code. It allows you to use and occupy the building and connect it to public services (electricity and water), and it is issued only after ensuring that the building meets safety and thermal insulation requirements.
2- Can I regularize an existing building that violates regulations?
Yes, current regulations allow for the regularization of existing buildings by submitting a technical report from an accredited engineering office (such as Ghayah) that verifies the structural safety of the building and confirms it does not encroach on planning lines or neighboring properties. After that, the prescribed fees are paid to obtain a fully legal status.
3- When do I need a restoration permit instead of a new construction permit?
You need a restoration permit when making structural or architectural modifications to an existing building without increasing the total area (e.g., strengthening columns or rearranging rooms). However, if you plan to add an extension or a new floor, you will need an “Addition and Modification” permit.
4- Why is updating the property deed through a survey essential?
Updating the property deed and converting it into an “electronic deed” requires an accurate survey report that aligns the deed with the actual land. This procedure is essential when selling the property, mortgaging it with a bank, or obtaining construction permits, ensuring that the dimensions and areas in the national records are accurate.
