Homeowners who enclosed balconies without construction permits will not face doubled local taxes or high costs for legalization. Minister Marcel-Alexandru Stoica announced an ordinance clarifying the application of new regulations regarding unauthorized balcony enclosures. The rules vary based on the age of the work, with those completed over three years ago exempt from permits. For enclosures made after 2023, a simplified notification process will be required. The ordinance aims to correct misunderstandings from the new urbanism code, ensuring that minor modifications like balcony closures do not lead to severe penalties. Legal distinctions are made between fully illegal constructions and minor unauthorized changes.
