Why Property Legalization Matters
Although the deadline for unfinished buildings in Latvia expired long ago, thousands of structures are still not ready for commissioning. In many cases, the main reason is the absence of the original house project and related documentation. Even if owners plan to sell such a property, the transaction may not always be possible.Through the BIS (Building Information System), it is easy to verify whether a building has been commissioned. If such information is missing, banks will not provide financing. Since many buyers rely on loans, selling an unlegalized property becomes extremely difficult.
If you already have part of the required documentation, it is best to complete the process. If there is no project at all, it is advisable to accelerate legalization to avoid penalties. Completing the commissioning process independently may take years, so we recommend relying on professionals.
We Prepare and Organize All Your Documents Efficiently and Affordably.

In order to put a property into operation, the following documents are required:House project. Owners who have built their homes independently often do not pay sufficient attention to this, which prevents the legalization of the building due to the absence of an approved project. A house project includes technical documentation and descriptions approved by an architect and coordinated with the construction authority (Būvvalde).
Legal documentation. This includes a construction permit, various approvals, reports and conclusions, as well as registration in the Land Register.
Additional documents:
- an inventory file – cadastral calculation prepared by the State Land Service (VZD);
- a topographic survey carried out by a surveyor;
- a chimney sweep’s report confirming the proper condition of smoke exhaust and ventilation systems;
- an electrician’s report confirming the condition of electrical wiring;
- a temporary energy certificate indicating the energy class and recommendations for improvement.
This is only the basic set of documents; in each case, the required package may vary. There are situations when the main building has been properly commissioned, but later an extension is added or a new structure is built on the plot—in such cases, an additional commissioning process for the new construction is required.
How We Commission Your Property
Our company professionally organizes the legalization process of a building and helps you restore and collect all necessary documents for commissioning in the shortest possible time, both in Riga and anywhere in Latvia.Before starting the process, we check the property’s compliance with technical regulations and any changes made to the project. Then all required reports, conclusions, certificates, and extracts are prepared.
The consultant will ask you to provide all available documents related to the property, for example:
- construction permits, inventory file;
- letters, certificates, reports, and official statements;
- photographs or plans of the land plot.
If the house does not have an existing project, a technical inspection of the building’s condition will be carried out. After that, we will find suitable solutions for commissioning the house. It is important to note that design work for an already completed building will be more expensive than at the initial stage of construction.
To proceed with commissioning your property, call or write to us, and we will schedule a consultation. Please gather all available documents and bring them with you if possible.
During the consultation, we will thoroughly review your situation and develop appropriate solutions. You will receive a detailed analysis and options for the legalization of your property.

What Is Building Commissioning?
-
What happens if someone did not manage to commission their property?
It is important for all property owners to organize their documentation and officially commission their buildings. This applies to all residents. Otherwise, the property may be subject to an increased real estate tax rate of 3%. -
What if a house was built with deviations from the project or without a project at all? People live there without commissioning it - what should they do?
The owner must order amendments to the existing building project from a specialist, or create a new project for the house and then commission it officially. Anything that was built but not included in the approved project is considered a violation. -
What changes in a construction project can be legalized?
If the existing changes in the house project do not contradict current construction regulations, they can be legalized by updating the project documentation. If they do contradict the regulations, the situation can become much more complicated. For example, the new law changed the minimum distance from a house to neighboring property boundaries (previously 3 meters, now 4 meters).
