Constructing, modifying or destroying a building necessitates acquiring a construction license for your business.
A construction permit or license will be required in the following cases:
To submit the application for the construction license, we can apply at the following places:
Type of permit | Price |
---|---|
Construction Permit | 20 THB |
Modification Permit | 10 THB |
Destruction Permit | 10 THB |
Relocation Permit | 10 THB |
Change of Usage Permit | 20 THB |
Certification | 10 THB |
Certified Document Using Instead of the Permit or the Certification | 5 THB |
The total process takes up to 45 days, but it can be longer. The maximum is 135 days.
The penalty for constructing, modifying or destroying a building without the proper license, is imprisonment for not exceeding three months or a fine of not exceeding 60,000 THB, or both. It is possible to be fined daily – not exceeding 10,000 THB – until the proper license has been obtained.
Note: when the building is successfully constructed or modified as it was permitted, the approval to open the building will be required. The local government officer shall be informed to inspect the construction or modification. After the local government officer inspected the building and agreed that the construction or modification is safe and correctly build, they will grant the permit for using the building to the applicant.
