Handbook and price list for sanctions
In front of the audience of mayors, therefore, Salvini announced the arrival of “sort of mini manual accompanying the decreeso as not to leave the municipal technical offices at the mercy of discretion on how to specifically apply the Save Homeon which interventions should be remedied and regularized, in exchange for which amounts requested”.
The handbook for use, on which the legislative office of the ministry is working, will be ready in the next few days and will also contain the price list of sanctions to avoid that the public official’s fear of signing could block the Salva Casa building amnesty practices. But it won’t be just this.
Authentic interpretation to speed up procedures
The manual, in fact, the minister further explained, was designed to provide the “authentic interpretation” of the rules to resolve all application doubts which are still unresolved in these five months since the launch of the decree. I hope that in this way – added the minister – the Salva Casa can be “grounded” on the gutterscome on atticson verandascome on stepscome on fireplaces and on everything that is internal and does not affect aspects that are not the responsibility of the ministry, but which are relevant for the coffers of the Municipalities.
The decree is not an amnesty, the minister was keen to reiterate, but if work is accelerated on the procedures that have still been open for years, the municipal coffers will certainly benefit. For example, the Municipality of Rome alone has 170,000 files pending from past amnesties and manages to process 6,000 of them per year.
“If you start with 170,000 outstanding files, some of which date back to the mid-1980s, and manage to process 6,000 of them a year – let’s also think about the income for the municipal coffers – averaged 3,000 or 4,000 euros per interventionlet’s calculate how many budget laws and how many budget exercises for the municipalities could be brought home”.
The knots to untie
The handbook should therefore provide certainties on the different ones still unresolved issues five months after the launch of the decree and which in fact they have prevented full implementation to date provisions designed to make it easier to obtain the legitimate status of properties in the event of irregularities.
One of the issues to be addressed, for example, is that of les variants in progress made before 1977i.e. before the passing of the Bucalossi law which made the changes made on site possible.
The Salva Casa decree provides for a procedure simplified as much as possible to remedy these interventions, but they remain the same doubts about the assessment methods of the time in which the works were carried out and problems also in reference to the technical documentation to be attached, problems today also linked to the fact that the forms have not yet been updated.
New models for building practices to be used from 2025
Just for update the models Ministry experts are currently working with the innovations introduced by Salva Casa together with a group of technicians and representatives of the professions. From CILA to SCIA, from building permit to usability, the forms must take into account the rules of the decree without creating further difficulties for the compilation and the documentation to be attached.
According to the announcements, the work of the expert commission should be completed soon and the models should see the light by the end of the year and be therefore applied starting from 2025 after reaching the agreement within the State-Regions Conference.
