METHODOLOGICAL NOTE

In 2016 we started to use a new administrative source for collecting data on building permits. Therefore, the data for 2016 on are published according to the date of validity of the building permits, while the data up to the end of 2015 were published according to the date of the issue of the building permit. These changes may influence the results of the survey.

Building permits that were issued in December 2015 and became final in January 2016 are not included in January data as they were already included in December 2015.

Final data for 2015 will be published on 20 May 2016.
