Uzbekistan May Restrict Advertising of Residential Complexes Under Construction
A bill passed in its third reading prohibits the advertising of residential complexes and apartments under construction until the project declaration is registered.
The bill was adopted by deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis. The document has been sent to the Senate for consideration, so the new requirements have not yet entered into force.
The restriction will apply to both the advertising of individual apartments and the promotion of entire residential complexes. Developers will be able to advertise the property and offer housing to buyers after registering the project declaration in the Unified Information System, which must contain details about the construction project.
Meanwhile, a fine of 400 BRV for individuals and 450 BRV for officials is already in place for the construction of multi-apartment buildings without permission, and criminal liability applies for repeated violations after an administrative penalty.
The bill, adopted by the Legislative Chamber and sent to the Senate, clarifies the powers of the National Committee for Sustainable Urbanization and the Housing Market. Other measures of responsibility for construction violations remain in place. The principle of 'A warning for the first mistake' is set to take effect in 2027.
