Uzbekistan to Restrict Advertising of Yet-to-Be-Built Residential Complexes
Lawmakers approved a ban on advertising residential complexes and apartments under construction until the project declaration is registered
The Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis adopted the bill in its third reading and forwarded it to the Senate. The new requirements are not yet in effect.
The restriction will apply to advertising individual apartments and entire residential complexes. Developers will be able to promote the property and offer housing only after registering the project declaration in the Unified Information System, which must contain details about the construction project.
For constructing multi-apartment buildings without a permit, a fine of 400 BRV for individuals and 450 BRV for officials is already in place. If the violation is repeated after an administrative penalty, criminal liability may follow.
The bill also clarifies the powers of the National Committee for Sustainable Urbanization and the Housing Market. Other measures of responsibility for construction violations remain unchanged.
The principle of 'A warning for the first mistake' is set to take effect in 2027.
