Turkey has officially started the demolition process for Tiny Houses, containers, and bungalows built on agricultural land. The regulation published in the Official Gazette gives owners one month for voluntary demolition; if not done, municipalities must demolish and, if they fail, the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization steps in, charging the municipality. Non-compliant land use is annotated in the land registry and cannot be removed until the violation is corrected. Holders of a Building Registration Certificate (İmar Barışı) may be exempt, subject to document validity. The real estate market already sees a surge in listings of plots with demolition risk at reduced prices.
