Preparation of relocation-assistance eligibility applications, exclusion-objection and administrative appeal documents

Procedure

Procedure

1. 01

   1. Confirm the reference date and residence period — An eligible person must be an owner who has lived in the building continuously from the date of the public notice under the relevant laws for public works until the contract date or expropriation adjudication date. Absence for unavoidable reasons such as medical treatment, military service, official duty, schooling or living in another person's building within the project district does not lead to exclusion. Project operator announcements sometimes set more specific criteria, such as ownership and residence from 1 year before the public inspection notice date, so also check the reference date in the announcement.

2. 02

   2. Review exclusions and eligibility for relocation settlement money — Owners of buildings constructed or converted without the required permit or report, and tenants living in buildings owned by others, are excluded from relocation measures (tenants who own a residential building within the district are an exception). Persons who have not lived there continuously from 1 year before the public notice, or who wish to move somewhere other than the relocation site, receive relocation settlement money instead. The settlement money is 30% of the appraised value of the residential building, but not less than 12,000,000 won and not more than 24,000,000 won.

3. 03

   3. Submit the eligibility application and supporting evidence — The project operator must notify eligible persons in advance of the relocation measures it plans, and the application period and form are set in the operator's announcement. If the resident registration abstract alone does not show actual residence, submit residence evidence such as utility payment records and mail receipt records. For buildings not listed in the building register, organize materials showing the construction date and whether a permit or report was made.

4. 04

   4. Review land compensation eligibility and priority — To receive compensation in land, you must have owned the land continuously from 1 year before the public notice until the contract date or adjudication date, and transfer land at least as large as the minimum lot division area set by ordinance (within the Enforcement Decree of the Building Act range of 60 square meters or more in residential areas, 150 square meters in commercial and industrial areas, and 200 square meters in green areas). When applicants compete, priority goes to those who are not absentee owners and who live within the district, in order of longest holding period, and other priorities are announced by the project operator. The compensated area may not exceed 990 square meters for housing land or 1,100 square meters for commercial land.

5. 05

   5. Objection and administrative appeal against an exclusion decision — You may file an objection with the project operator within 30 days of receiving the exclusion (ineligibility) notice, and an administrative appeal must be filed within 90 days of learning of the disposition and within 180 days of the disposition. If you filed an objection, you may file an administrative appeal within 90 days of being notified of the result. If you reapply with new materials after a rejection and are rejected again, the Supreme Court treats this as a new rejection disposition.

Basic documents

Basic documents

The right to be supplied a housing site or home under relocation measures may not be resold through sale, gift or similar transactions until ownership transfer registration is completed (inheritance excepted), and if this is violated, relocation settlement money is paid instead of relocation measures. If you did not file an objection, an administrative appeal cannot be filed once 90 days have passed since you learned of the disposition, so record the date you received the exclusion notice.
