In Romania, a construction permit is a document issued by local authorities that allows for the execution of construction, modification, repair, or consolidation works on buildings. However, not all types of work require this permit. According to current legislation, certain works can be carried out without a construction permit.

Here's what you are allowed to build without a permit

Many types of repairs can be carried out without a construction permit, provided that the building's load-bearing structure is not modified. For example, replacing joinery, painting, plastering, changing flooring, or repairing the roof do not require authorization as long as the exterior appearance and structure remain unchanged.

Similarly, repairs to sidewalks, retaining walls, or access stairs can be carried out without filing an application with the city hall.

Internal Compartmentalization

Non-structural partitions that do not affect the building's load-bearing structure can be carried out without authorization. These are made from lightweight materials and have no significant impact on the stability of the construction.

For example, a gypsum board or B CA wall that can be easily assembled or disassembled. Conversely, if you want to build or demolish a load-bearing wall, you will need to obtain a permit.
