Operation, renewal and extension of building agreements

The Building Agreement is run by the Steering Committee and is run by local residents.

In operating a building agreement, it is very important to confirm changes such as land owners and new construction and extension of buildings.
Example 1 Notification of Change of Land Owners, etc.
※The example sentence was created by the Yokohama City Building Agreement Liaison Council as a model, so please use it after changing the style according to the situation in each region.

We have you report such as owners of land to confirm whether building plan meets building agreement, and steering committee examines.
If you have not decided to perform these notifications in the Building Agreement, it is recommended that you discuss with each Building Agreement Steering Committee or the Building Agreement District and determine the procedures in the Building Agreement Steering Committee Detailed Rules etc. .
