How to deal with illegal buildings?

If the party concerned fails to dismantle the illegal building by itself within the time limit, the district (county) people's government shall organize the relevant departments to forcibly dismantle it. China's laws clearly stipulate that the demolition of illegal buildings and temporary buildings exceeding the approved period will not be compensated.

Illegal buildings, also known as illegal buildings, refer to buildings and structures built without the approval of the competent department of land planning and without obtaining the construction project planning permit or temporary construction project planning permit.

In accordance with the provisions of the Urban and Rural Planning Law, if buildings, structures, roads, pipelines and other projects are to be built in urban and town planning areas, the construction unit or individual shall apply to the competent department of urban and rural planning of the people's government of a city or county or the people's government of a town determined by the people's government of a province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government for a construction project planning permit.

In order to facilitate the rectification of illegal structures and buildings in this Municipality and improve the appearance of this Municipality, these Provisions are formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations on the Administration of Urban Construction Planning (hereinafter referred to as the Planning Regulations) and the Regulations on the Administration of Urban Public Housing.
