The new Urban Planning Amnesty (“Πολεοδομική Αμνηστία”) initiative in Cyprus, recently approved by the Council of Ministers, is a significant opportunity for property owners to legalize unauthorized constructions with minor regulatory deviations. This amnesty applies to buildings that have obtained planning or building permits up to the date of this decision, with the aim of issuing property titles and certificates of approval.

The plan covers various types of developments, including residential, industrial, and recreational properties, ensuring a broader scope for eligibility. Owners must act within the six-month window to regularize their properties, paying a compensatory fee based on the scale of the violation. This fee will be channeled into a fund supporting affordable housing, contributing to the government’s broader social housing agenda.
