How to Get a Building Permit in Tehran — The Complete Guide

What is a building permit and why does it matter?

The permit is the municipality's legal authorization to demolish and rebuild or to construct. Building without one leads to heavy Article-100 fines and blocks the completion certificate and title deed.

The main steps

1. Opening the file

Apply at an electronic city-services office with the deed and ID documents; the request is registered in the municipal system.

2. Zoning directive

The municipality announces your property's rules — allowed floors, footprint and density — based on the detailed plan.

3. Drawings

Architectural drawings are prepared per the directive; structural and MEP drawings follow, checked by the engineering organization.

4. Fees and issuance

After paying charges and clearing inquiries, the permit draft is prepared and the permit issued.

How long does it take?

Usually two to six months. Knowing district procedures and following up consistently shortens it substantially.

Bottom line

Before any rebuild, check your deed status and property regulations. The Shahrara Asar team handles this entire path for you.
