The 5 most common mistakes in legalization applications

Mistakes that cost months

  • Incomplete documentation — the as-built survey or proof of 2011 visibility is missing; the application is dismissed instead of decided.
  • Wrong building category — documents for a simple building filed for one that belongs to the less-demanding category; everything comes back for supplementation.
  • Fee not paid on time — even a correct application fails if the retention fee is not paid when requested.
  • Inconsistent data — areas in the application do not match the survey; the office requests corrections and the procedure stalls.
  • A building on someone else's or co-owned land with unresolved relations — legalization is possible, but property relations must be addressed in time.

Good news for the previously rejected

The new 2026 law explicitly allows resubmission of applications rejected over incomplete documentation or an unpaid fee. If you gave up back then — now is the chance to finish the job.

How we avoid all of this

Before filing we run a checklist: 2011 visibility, building category, completeness of annexes, consistency of areas. We submit digitally via eDozvola only when everything is closed — which is why our applications do not fail on formalities.
