Yerevan budget receives over 9.1 billion drams from legalizing unauthorized buildings (2019-2024)

YEREVAN, March 3. /ARKA/. As a result of the legalization of unauthorized buildings in Yerevan between 2019 and 2024, approximately 9.1 billion drams were transferred to the city budget. This was reported by Narek Barseghyan, the head of the Architecture and Urban Development Department of Yerevan’s City Hall, during a working meeting on Monday.

According to the data he provided, during the specified period, Yerevan City Hall made 945 decisions to legalize unauthorized buildings on municipal land plots and 3,313 decisions on private land plots.

Barseghyan noted that in 2024, there was a decrease in the number of such decisions, due to the approval of the new general plan for Yerevan. The new document tightened requirements, effectively making it impossible to legalize unauthorized buildings erected on public land.

Yerevan Mayor Tigran Avinyan responded, emphasizing that this concerns residential buildings. "We almost effortlessly sign all applications for houses that do not yet have a title deed or were built without permission on privately owned land," Avinyan said, noting that such plots exist in Avan, the Pobeda quarter, and several other areas. ($1 = 393.35 drams).
