Operation, renewal and extension of building agreements

A building agreement cannot be fully effective just by concluding it. In order to be effective, the Steering Committee plays a major role. Here, we introduce the role of the Steering Committee and the flow of renewal and extension of building agreements.

Last Updated September 7, 2023

To operate a building agreement

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

Major Role of the Steering Committee

Understanding land owners, etc.

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.

Acceptance and examination of building plan

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. .
Example 2 Prior notice regarding (new construction, extension, renovation) of buildings
Example 3 Building Agreement Check Sheet
Example sentence 4 Notification of examination result regarding (new construction, extension, renovation) of buildings
※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.

Procedures for joining a building agreement

When there is offer from owners of land adjacent to building agreement to join building agreement, we submit documents of participation to Yokohama-shi via steering committee. If it is an adjacent land, you can easily subscribe to a building agreement by submitting a registration notification.

Documents required at the time of subscription

Notification of participation in building agreement (2 copies)
・Building Agreement (Agreement) (2 copies)
・New Area Map (1 copy)
・New area map showing subscription place (1 copy)

Response to violations of the Building Agreement

In the event of a violation, a request for suspension or removal of construction or a lawsuit to the court will be made based on the procedures stipulated in the Building Agreement. The government cannot issue corrective action orders under the Building Standards Law for violations of the agreement.

Distribution of news from building agreement

It is a public relations paper issued twice a year by the Building Agreement Liaison Council rather than a building agreement, which helps to maintain and raise awareness of the building agreement. It may be better to distribute it as an approach to land adjacent to the building agreement. If you want to change the number of copies distributed, please contact Urban Development Bureau or the ward office by telephone.

(Change / Decision) Submission of report

If the chairperson of the steering committee or the person in charge of distribution has changed, please submit it to Urban Development Bureau or ward office.
