Procedure
Procedure
- Permit Difficulty High
A procedure that allows a business, activity or stay that the law generally restricts, after review; licenses fall into this type. The authority reviews facility standards, location and consultation with other agencies, and a permit can be refused if the standards are not met.
We review options for correcting unauthorized buildings and prepare correction plans, completion reports, written opinions and application documents. The special act on specified buildings takes effect on 17 December 2026. Before that date, our service covers eligibility review and document preparation. Statutory filing is a separate procedure, subject to the actual filing requirements after the act takes effect.

Checking the current status and stage of the measure: Review the illegal-building entry in the building ledger and the corrective order, enforcement fine warning or notice of imposition to confirm the area, use and structure of the violating part and whether the case is at the corrective order, warning or imposition stage.
- 02
Eligibility under the Special Act: Check whether the building was substantially completed on December 31, 2023, whether at least 50% of its floor area is residential, whether it falls within the 85 square meter (multi-household), 165 square meter (detached) or 660 square meter (multi-family) limits, and whether it lies in an excluded area such as an urban planning facility site, road buffer zone or conservation mountain area.
- 03
Gathering proof of the completion date: Prove completion and residential use before the end of 2023 with aerial photos, enforcement fine records, construction contracts, lease agreements and electricity and water usage records, and confirm land ownership or consent to use the land, or a management body resolution for collective buildings.
- 04
Specified building report and review: File the report with the city, county or district office (or its specified building support center, if one exists) within the reporting period set by the Enforcement Decree, attaching design documents and a site survey report prepared by an architect. If the building committee requires improvements to structural safety, evacuation, fire protection or parking, complete them before use approval is granted.
- 05
Comparing correction routes when the Act does not apply: Compare restoration with legalizing the building through an extension, major repair or change-of-use permit application or report under the Building Act. Once the correction is completed, new enforcement fines stop immediately, but fines already imposed are still collected.
- 06
Opinion statement and administrative appeal: On receiving a prior notice or warning, submit an opinion statement with a correction plan and grounds for reduction by the deadline stated in the notice. If there are grounds to contest the imposition, file an administrative appeal petition with the provincial administrative appeals commission within 90 days of learning of the measure.

A covered building that has never been charged an enforcement fine is subject to an administrative fine equal to 5 times the enforcement fine calculated under Article 80 of the Building Act, and if it was charged fewer than 5 times, the amount already paid is deducted. Incheon Metropolitan City charges half the enforcement fine once a year for residential buildings with a total floor area of 60 square meters or less, among others, but the reduction under Article 80-2 of the Building Act does not apply if the violation is not corrected within 2 years of the first corrective order.
