House construction in the village - how many floors will lead to a fine.

Recently, many Ukrainians are attracted to the idea of living in a village - peace, nature, their own home. However, it turns out that construction in rural areas has its own features and restrictions established by legislation. Not everyone knows how many floors can be built and what penalties are threatened for violating these standards.

How many floors are allowed to be built

According to state construction standards, in rural areas, it is possible to build private houses of a cottage type with a maximum of two floors and an attic, which is not considered a full-fledged third floor.

'Within the boundaries of rural settlements, residential development is planned mainly of cottage type, up to two floors with the possibility of an attic,' the building code states.

Such restrictions help ensure safety, a harmonious appearance of the settlement, and compliance with infrastructure.

Exceptions to the rules on the number of floors

There are cases when it is possible to build houses with a greater number of floors, but this requires additional permits and procedures:

• Change of land designation.
• Urban planning conditions and restrictions (UPC).
• Master plan of the community.

Failure to meet these conditions can lead to serious consequences and fines.
