Step 9
Request license for use and receive technical examination by the Administration Unit Ljubljana
The cost for technical examination depends on the value of the construction, namely 0,05 % from the construction value with the maximum fee of EUR 271.83. For the construction worth EUR 2 milion, the fee would be EUR 271.83.

Step 10
Obtain the license for use
The application for a license to use must be filed in 8 days from the conclusion of construction works. The application shall state that the building was constructed in accordance with the building permit (the date and the number of the building permit must be also stated).The obligatory attachments to the application for license for use are:
– project design of executed works (prepared by licensed architect)
– geodetic plan of the new state of the plot with the completed construction (prepared by the authorized geodetic company, the costs vary between different geodetic companies (for the building with total surface of approximately 1,300.6 m2, the price is between 350 and 700 EUR)
– certificate of reliability of the construction, signed by the responsible site manager, if appointed, and by the responsible project leader and the responsible supervisor
– project plan regarding the maintenance and operation of the building, stating the minimal time limits for regular examinations and the scope of maintenance work
– other documents, if required by special regulation.
If the Administrative Unit establishes that the application has all obligatory attachments, it names the commission for technical examination of the building and determines the date of the examination (Procedure 1).
If the commission for technical examination establishes that the building was constructed in accordance with the issued building permit, the Administrative unit issues the license for use.
The costs of the license for use are 3,88 EUR for the application and 15,49 EUR for the decision on issuance of the license for use, together 19,37 EUR. According to the law the administrative unit shall issue the license for use in 2 months (captured in previous and this procedure) from the day of submitting the application.

Step 11
Project for registration in official records
According to the Real Estate Recording Act, the investor must file the application for registering the building into the Cadastre of buildings in 30 days from conclusion of all construction works or in 30 days from beginning of use of the building. In each case, the application shall be filed before the investor notifies its registered seat in the building (i.e. at the address of the building). If the application for registering the building is not filed in 30 days from beginning of use or conclusion of all construction works, the Surveying and Mapping Authority invites the investor to file the application in three months under the threat that a fine will be imposed upon him if the application is not filed as required by the Authority.
Please note that the Construction Act defines the final deadline for registering the building into the Cadastre of buildings, which is 15 days after the decision on issuance of the license for use becomes final.
The obligatory attachment to the application is the geodetic analysis on the building (project of the building) prepared by the authorized geodetic company in the earlier stage. Administrative tax for the application for entering the building into the Cadastre of buildings is EUR 19,37. The project of the building is than transferred to the authorized agency together with the application for registering the building into the Cadastre of buildings. The building is than registered in additional 2 to 3 months from the day the application (together with the obligatory attachment, i.e. geodetic analysis) was submitted to the authorized agency.
Authorized agency is the Regional Surveying and Mapping Authority.

Step 12
Apply for water and sewerage connection
Once the building permit is obtained, the investor may apply for connection approval to the Vodovod-Kanalizacija d.o.o. (hereinafter: the “utility”).The obligatory attachments are:
– the building permit
– proof of ownership of the land
– plan of the plot showing the position of the building on the plot
– project of grid connection to the water and sewage network (it may be prepared by the utility or other company; the costs for the project regarding the connection to the water network amount to 240 EUR and regarding the connection to the sewage network 304 EUR).
The connection approval must be issued free of any charge and in 30 days from the day the application was submitted.
After the connection approval is obtained from the utility, the building (fitting) of the grid connection (external works) may start. The grid connection to the water network is usually made by the utility. The utility examines documentation to make an estimate of costs and time needed and afterwards prepares an offer for making a grid connection to the client. However, another company may be engaged to do external works as well subject to condition that the utility` s approval of such company is obtained previously and subject to condition that a notice on commencement of the works is sent to the utility at least 3 days before beginning of works in order to enable the utility` s supervision. The same applies to a grid connection to the sewage network which is always made by another authorized company under utility` s supervision (the utility itself does not offer such services, i.e. building (fitting) a connection to the sewage network). The cost for connection to the water and sewage network is EUR 9000. The building (fitting) of the gird connection takes additional 30 days.
After the grid connection is built, the utility examines the connection (inspection at the site). The costs of such inspection amount EUR 30 for each grid connection. If connection is in accordance with requirements stated in the connection approval, the building is connected to the network.
For each gird connection a geodetic fixation must be made in order to enter the connection into the cadastre. Such fixation is made by the utility (the costs amount to 224 EUR for each grid connection).

Step 13
Request and obtain telecommunications connection
After the project conditions and approval are granted by the utility providers, it is not certain when the project will be completed. A special application to utility providers should be made after the construction of a new building is completed, so that the building gets connected to public utilities.
