๐Ÿ”ดALAM MO BA?

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Ang pagtatayo ng istruktura nang walang permit ay ILEGAL!

โš ๏ธ Bakit ito bawal?

Kinakailangan ang Building Permit mula sa tamang ahensya ng gobyerno
Tinitiyak nito ang kaligtasan, tamang disenyo, at pagsunod sa batas
Pinoprotektahan ang buhay at ari-arian

๐Ÿšซ Ano ang maaaring mangyari kung walang permit?

๐Ÿ’ธ Multa at penalties
๐Ÿ“ˆ Surcharges (dagdag bayarin)
๐Ÿงพ Pagpapahinto ng konstruksyon
๐Ÿš๏ธ Pagpapademolish ng istruktura

โš–๏ธ Mas mabigat na parusa:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Maaaring humantong sa kaso at pagkakakulong kung patuloy na babaliwalain ang batas.

โœ… Ano ang dapat gawin?

Mag-apply ng Building Permit
Sumunod sa National Building Code
Kumonsulta sa inyong Office of the City Building Official.

๐Ÿ“ข PAALALA:

Mas mabuti ang sumunod sa batas kaysa magsisi sa huli!
