How do I obtain a building permit in Cyprus?

After securing a town planning permit, the property owner applies for a building permit through an authorised project designer, submitting electronically via the IPPODAMOS information system (https://hippodamus.tph.moi.gov.cy) or the gov.cy building permits service. The permit is issued by the District Local Government Organisation (DLGO) for the district where the building is located, which may request additional documents and consult other bodies such as the Department of Environment, Water Development Department or Labour Inspection Department. Building permission covers construction, demolition, extension, alteration or conversion, repair, or a change of use of a building, and the required documents, including architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical, geological and energy efficiency studies, vary by the type and size of development, with the IPPODAMOS system determining which are mandatory. The page states no specific fees. For current requirements, the official businessincyprus.gov.cy page is authoritative.
