Dear Developer, 

This is a Developer’s Guide, which has been elaborated by the State Urban
Development Committee adjunct to the Government of the Republic of Armenia and
provides details on the successive steps of the development process (including through
the use of an electronic system for issuing urban development permits) and the
interrelated functions in Armenia with references to the relevant legal acts. 

Having regard to their scale, purpose, significance, as well as human and
environmental safety, urban development projects are classified into five categories,
according to the level of risk.
The principle of distinguishing between the development procedures, according to the level
of risk of urban development projects, made it possible to reduce the functions of issuing
development permits, differentiating them according to the complexity and the labour
intensivity of the specific issue, while ensuring the reliability and safety of the built project.
