published on 23 February 2024 | reading time approx. 1 minute

The land code of the Republic of Lithuania has been updated with significant changes effective from 1 January 2024. Some responsibilities previously held by the National Land Office will now be managed by the State Territorial Planning and Construction Inspectorate. State land will be entrusted to municipalities, empowering them to handle easements, permits, and other land management tasks.

Starting 1 January 2024, municipalities will issue permits for:

Temporary non-complex structures in nationally significant surface waters
Non-complex structures on state land without established land parcels
Communication and engineering network construction on state land without established land parcels
Temporary use of state land during construction
Building construction on adjacent or unallocated state land
Various structures on state land (e.g., hydraulic structures)

Additionally, municipalities will issue permits for local projects funded by state, municipal, or EU funds, not involving immovable property creation on state land without established parcels.
