Scroll down to learn more about house construction and procedures.
Since January 3, 2022, you no longer need a building permit for houses with a building area not exceeding 70 m².
The main difference between a house built on notification and one requiring a building permit lies in the number of formalities and requirements that must be met before construction begins.
If your mobile home does not exceed 70 m², is a single-story building (the attic and mezzanine do not count as additional floors), and there is only one such building per 500 m² of plot, its construction only needs to be reported to the county office or city hall with county rights.
The notification must include an application form, a declaration of the right to use the property for construction purposes, and three copies of the architectural and construction design along with the site development plan. Then you must wait 30 days. If you do not receive a refusal within that time, it means you can start building the house under notification.
On the other hand, obtaining a building permit requires more patience. A building permit is an administrative decision, and to obtain it you must gather extensive documentation. This includes a land development plan, architectural and construction design, a map for design purposes, and in some cases additional documents such as a water permit.
Construction can only begin after the building permit decision is issued, which may take up to 65 days.

Yes – every construction project that is permanently attached to the ground must be reported to the local authority, provided the following conditions are met:
– the building is single-storey and has an independent structure,
– the usable area of the finished year-round house does not exceed 35 m²,
– only one house is built per 500 m² of land.
Please note that the notification must be submitted **30 days before** the planned installation of the mobile home on the plot.
The County Office has this period to file any objections to your application. If no objection is raised within this time, it means you may proceed with placing the house in the indicated location.
If the client owns a plot of land and intends to place a year-round holiday home on it, the investment must still be **reported to the office**.
Below we present the most important steps to help with reporting cottages of 35 or 70 m².
To build a house by notification, you will need a “map for opinion purposes” at a 1:1000 scale. After paying a fee of 30 PLN at the above-mentioned office, you will receive the map on the spot.
This is usually straightforward, but if the clerk has doubts, they may ask what it’s needed for. In that case, a simple explanation is enough — it is needed to notify a recreational/utility building.
The map will most likely be a low-quality photocopy — that’s normal. This is because it is not required for design purposes, only to indicate the planned location of the holiday cottage. In this case, ask for two copies, because one will be needed when submitting the notification, and the other will be useful for the application to connect electricity to the plot. You’ve now completed the first step in the notification procedure.
You will find the form on the County Office’s website. After completing it, go to the Architecture Department of the County Office that serves your plot.
You should take one copy of the map to the office as an attachment to the application. On the map, mark in red the following:
Remember to draw the reported cottage no closer than 4 m from the neighbor’s plot boundary.
As a precaution, ask the clerk whether any other elements should be marked. They may suggest indicating other parameters. It all depends on the approach of the staff at the office where you are submitting the notification. The most important thing is that the application receives an official stamp. Also ask for a duplicate of the document, as it will be useful during the process of connecting the plot to the power supply.
Building a year-round house by notification involves certain procedures – fortunately, quite simple ones. Houses built by notification with an area of up to 70 m² do not require many formalities – in such cases, a building permit is not needed. You will not have to hire a construction manager or maintain a construction log. What conditions must be met to build a house by notification? The house cannot exceed 70 m², must be a detached structure, must be single-story, and only one such building is allowed per 500 m² of land. To formally notify the construction of your summer house, the necessary documents must be submitted to the appropriate architectural and construction administration authority. This will be the county office or the city office with county rights. In the form, you must specify the start date of the works, the scope of the project, the method of execution, and attach the necessary sketches. The good news is that you can prepare these sketches yourself.
Who can build a year-round house by notification? Anyone, provided that they have the right to use the property for construction purposes and that the investment meets their own housing or recreational needs. Interestingly, to set up a mobile home by notification, you do not have to be the owner of the land. You can, for example, be a tenant of a given piece of land. It is enough that the lease agreement includes permission to place a year-round cottage on the plot.
As you can see, if you are planning to purchase a year-round house by notification, you can forget about time-consuming formalities and fully enjoy your investment.
The required documents are the same throughout the country. To notify the construction of a year-round summer cottage, you need to obtain a deed of ownership and a document confirming the owner’s identity. If your spouse is listed in the notarial deed concerning the ownership of the plot for the summer cottage, both of you should appear at the office together.
Remember!
The other spouse can, of course, sign the application in advance, but if any errors are found in it, this will mean the need for another visit to the office to submit the corrected notification.
Submit the notification 30 days before the planned placement of the mobile cottage on the plot. The County Office will have that amount of time to raise an objection to your application. If no objection is submitted, it means that you can place the cottage in the previously designated location.
If you already own a plot of land where you would like to place a year-round summer cottage, then to make your dream come true, you have only one simple step left – submitting the cottage notification to the office. Read the following information about the details of the notification procedure for summer cottages with an area of up to 35 m².
