Takeaways

• 😀 The new law regarding spatial planning and land development in Poland will come into effect on January 1, 2026, and it will significantly impact property owners and investors.
• 😀 Agricultural land, which is much cheaper than residential land, will no longer be easily converted into buildable land, leading to potential financial losses for landowners.
• 😀 Building permit applications (WZ) will now be considered based on general plans for the entire municipality, which may affect approval timelines and conditions.
• 😀 Building permits will be valid for 5 years instead of the current indefinite period, meaning property owners will need to act faster to utilize permits.
• 😀 Some municipalities have already implemented their general plans, effectively blocking the conversion of land to residential use in those areas.
• 😀 The proposed legislation might extend the deadline for municipalities to complete their general plans until June 30, 2026, offering more time for compliance.
• 😀 Public consultations have taken place in most municipalities, but local governments may not give significant weight to individual input, as the plans are mostly set.
• 😀 The new law will likely drive up property prices, particularly for residential land, making it more expensive for developers and consumers.
• 😀 While the changes are mostly detrimental for developers and residential property buyers, agricultural land may become more profitable for investors due to its lower cost.
• 😀 The speaker encourages people to act quickly and take advantage of training and information sessions on real estate investment before the full implementation of the law.
• 😀 It is essential for landowners and potential investors to check the general plans for their municipalities, as many are already available for review on local government websites.

Q & A

What is the main change introduced by the new law regarding land property in Poland?

The new law introduces the requirement for municipalities to create 'general plans' for their areas, impacting how land can be developed and altering the process for applying for building permits starting in January 2026.

What is the current value difference between agricultural land and building land in Poland?

Agricultural land is typically worth around 10 times less than building land, with forested land being even cheaper.

What happens to the process of applying for building permits after January 2026?

After January 2026, applications for building permits will be reviewed based on the 'general plans' implemented in each municipality, and the permits will only be valid for five years, instead of the current indefinite validity.

How will the new law affect property owners who wish to convert agricultural land to building land?

The new law will make it impossible for property owners to convert agricultural land to building land, significantly reducing the potential value of their land.

What is the significance of the December 2025 deadline mentioned in the transcript?

By December 2025, property owners must submit applications for building permits under the current rules before the 'general plans' take effect in January 2026. After that, the process will be governed by the new law.

Can building permits with indefinite validity be transferred to a new owner?

Yes, building permits with indefinite validity can be transferred when the property is sold, as they are tied to the land and not to the owner.

What is the difference between a local urban development plan (mpzp) and a 'general plan' under the new law?

An 'mpzp' is a more detailed local plan that governs specific areas, while a 'general plan' is a broader, municipality-wide plan. The 'general plan' will supersede local plans and is set to be implemented across all municipalities in Poland.

Why might some municipalities fail to meet the deadline for implementing the 'general plan'?

Some municipalities may struggle to meet the deadline due to the complexity of creating the 'general plans' within the short timeframe, especially considering the additional legal requirements and the shortage of resources, such as geodetic specialists.

How does the proposed extension of the deadline to June 2026 affect landowners?

If the extension is approved, landowners will have an additional six months to submit building permit applications under the old rules, allowing them more time before the 'general plans' take effect.

What group stands to benefit from the new land regulations?

The main beneficiaries of the new regulations are likely to be agricultural landowners, as agricultural land prices may remain lower, making it an attractive investment. However, for most people, the new law is expected to result in higher property prices for residential land and significant financial losses for those hoping to develop land.
