What is OPEEC?
The OTÉK stands for the National Building and Urban Development Requirements. It is a legal and regulatory system that sets out the building, urban development and town planning requirements for the whole country.
As we wrote earlier in our blog on building codes, this is the national regulatory framework, which is translated into local building codes at the municipal level.
In fact, this is a piece of legislation, the interpretation of which is always worth seeking the advice of a real estate lawyer.
The aim of the OTÉK is to regulate architectural and urban development issues in a uniform and consistent way throughout the country.
The main features of the NAP are:
- General framework: it contains the general conditions and principles on the basis of which local regulations (LRA) are developed.
- Urban development guidelines: sets out guidelines for the structural and functional development of settlements.
- Architecture and building regulations: sets out the height, size, layout and general requirements for building types.
Why is the OTÉK important?
The OTÉK is the national legal framework that forms the basis for local planning and building regulations. Local authorities develop local rules in their own HÉSZ (local building regulations) based on the guidelines and provisions of the OTÉK.
