At Lögþing Law firm work with attorneys with decades of experience in matters regarding planning and construction. The attorneys at Lögþing Law Firm provide assistance with regional planning, building permits, and other projects related to planning and construction issues.

Local authorities are responsible for and make regional plans. These types of plans can greatly affect property owners. The Icelandic organizational law demands that a presentation is held and that the public is consulted when a regional planning proposal is being made. When the proposal is approved, it happens in two phases. First, the proposal is advertised after the local authorities have discussed it. While it is advertised, the public and other beneficiaries have six weeks to concluding remarks. The attorneys at Lögþing Law Firm have assisted with conveying these remarks, as well as appealing the local authorities' conclusion if the approval of the regional plan is considered to be in conflict with laws and regulations. In the second round of discussions, the local authorities review the remarks that have been received and the proposal itself, either modified or unmodified. A regional plan that has been approved, comes into effect when it has been advertised in the Official Gazette of Iceland, but before that, it is sent to the National Planning Agency which can also conclude remarks on the content of the form of the regional plan.

The general rule is that you need to apply for a building permit for all new properties, extensions to properties, and changes, for example, changes to the appearance, carrier system, and plumbing systems. Some sorts of minor construction may be exempt from a building permit. A building permit is required to demolish or move properties. The attorneys at Lögþing Law Firm have provided advice regarding applications for building permits in a number of cases.
