Construction No later than 8 days before the construction starts, the investor provides the municipal body, which issues the construction permit, with a construction commencement date and completion target date. Prior to construction, the investor should as well set out the building site and publish mandatory data on a building site. Throughout the construction stage, the investor also provides supervision of the construction works. Obtaining Occupancy Permit The occupancy permit is issued within 7 days from the date of receiving the findings of the commission in charge of technical inspection, which have established that the erected object to be suitable for use. Technical inspection of a structure is done upon the completion of construction, that is upon the completion of all the works specified in the Construction Permit and the Main Project. Inspection may also be carried out simultaneously with the construction process, if the verification of the actual condition of certain parts of the structure is not possible after its completion. To ensure the suitability for the use of a structure or if envisaged by technical documentation, an assessment and verification of installations, devices, machinery, stability or safety of structure, devices, and equipment for environmental protection may take place. The Commission may propose to the competent authority to approve the probation occupancy, provided the conditions are met. The probation period cannot last longer than 1 year. Registration in the Cadastre The final stage in the construction process is the registration of an erected structure in the Real Estate Cadastre or in the Land Book Registry kept by a Municipal Court. The process of establishing the Real Estate Cadastre for the entire territory of Serbia is ongoing. By the end of 2010, a comprehensive system of tracking real estate and real estate property rights will replace the existing dual records on real estate–the Land Cadastre and Land Books kept by the Court.
