The National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia has adopted a draft law on amendments to the Code of Administrative Offences. The project assumes the introduction of stricter measures of administrative responsibility for unauthorized construction, reconstruction, installation of buildings and structures, demolition or dismantling without permission, continuation of unauthorized construction of buildings and structures in case of suspension of unauthorized construction, as well as for incomplete construction within the time limits provided for by urban planning standards established for the relevant urban development activities. According to the submitted draft, the amount of fines for such violations will be increased.

For the commission of the presented offenses by a person who has the right of ownership and land use right to this territory, the fine will not amount to 500 thousand drams, but from 750 thousand 1.5 million drams. If such actions are committed by a person who does not have the right to land use in the territory owned by the state, municipalities, individuals or legal entities, the fine will be from 2 million to 2.5 million drams instead of the previous 1.5 million to 2 million drams. If the actions are continued after the imposition of an administrative fine, the amount of fine will be from 2.5 million to 3 million drams (before that it was from 2 million to 2.5 million drams).
