The municipality as a Building Authority in the conditions of the Slovak republic: current status, planned changes, considerations about optimal model

Abstract

In the paper, the author examines the current model of the performance of the building agenda by municipalities, while assessing both the advantages and disadvantages of such a model . Subsequently, he also analyses the proposed changes in the transfer of competences of the building authority from municipalities to specialized bodies of local state administration, which should be effective in the Slovak Republic from 1.04.2024. He also defines the advantages and disadvantages of such a model. In conclusion, the author examines an optimal model for the performance of the building authority’s agenda, which would respect the application of the principle of subsidiarity, but would eliminate the current problems in the performance of this agenda by municipalities.
