Request and obtain land clearance from Tashkent City Hokimiyat (submission of an
application for a land plot and of approved materials)
: District Governor's Office
Agency
Starting on January 1, 2016, the government changed the way land plots of up to 1 hectare are
allocated to legal entities and individuals. Land plots are now assigned on the basis of a
competitive selection process. Local authorities (municipalities) select land plots that are available
for allocation. Then, each Municipality has the local Department of Architecture and Construction
obtain all preliminary approvals of land allocation (previously separate procedures) from the
relevant authorities, depending on the environmental, architectural and zoning requirements of the
individual plots. Once all approvals are obtained internally by the Department of Architecture and
Construction, a complete set of documents is prepared for each land plot and submitted to the
contest organizer within the Municipality.
The time is 38 days (30 days after announcement is made to apply + 3 days for the committee to
evaluate the bids + 5 days to announce the decision).
Per the new process, an announcement is made in the mass media that there are land plots
allocated for a specific type of construction (e.g., kindergarten, produce store, a warehouse etc.).
Subsequently, these land plots, with all the necessary characteristics, are made available on the
website of the State Committee of Uzbekistan on Architecture and Construction:
http://1kms.uz/kms/announcementnew/list/11.
There is only one committee that organizes the bid. The announcement about the bid is made 1
month before the start of the bidding process, so bidders have 1 month to prepare the application
and submit the bid. The committee takes 3 days to evaluate all the bids and then it has 5 days to
announce the allotment decision.
Once the decision is made, it is announced in mass media (in the same national and local
newspapers where the bid was announced in the first place). The committee will inform the
winners within 2 days after the official announcement. Those who were not selected will find out in
the papers and on the website. The announcement is also sent by mail to all bidders.
The announcement of the auction / competition is made only 2 times a year (May and November).
This announcement is determined based on demand and supply of available land plots.
The Hokimiyat signs a contract with the winner and the winner can go ahead and sign a contract
with the project design company.
