Schwarzbauten-Amnestie verfassungswidrig?

Sustainability and innovation: a new law transforms Hungary's building, design and construction industry
Hungary's national settlement planning and construction requirements are currently governed by Government Decree 253/1997. (XII. 20.) (OTÉK), which outlines the regulations on which construction is planned and licensed. On 1 October 2025, Act C of 2023 on Hungarian Architecture entered into force, and together with an upcoming government decree on urban planning and building requirements (effective from 1 January 2025), it is expected to reshape the future of properties in Hungary. Until 30 June 2027, OTÉK and the Decree must be applied in parallel. The regulations will promote environmental awareness and sustainability, incorporating a new set of principles and restrictions on zoning for new construction, of which we have highlighted a few for your attention.
