The application has already been submitted and has not been considered. solved and solved again In the end, it ended up getting paid.

Improve process transparency, reduce delays, see the timeline of consideration. because many times, officials will claim that we already have the Facilitation Act If the public submits all documents The officer considered within 45 days in the case of applying for a construction permit. when there is time The real practice time turned out to be that the public reported that the officials did not accept the matter. Officials will claim that people have not submitted complete documents. Therefore, one cannot be counted. If filing online, there will be a record. will be able to track on which date the documents are submitted When will the officer’s opinion be given? If we can track it, it will be evidence of work and can assess the delay.

Another issue that created a gap in claiming benefits. is the use of discretion in consideration It must be admitted that there are some legal issues that do not fit the context. It is an outdated law, such as repairs, improvements, there are differences. is that the repair of the building must be a repair that is not related to the structure But renovating the building has an impact on the structure, requiring permission, which is what we are reviewing the law that if renovating makes the building stronger And how do you not have to go into the new law? That is, the process must be improved to be more transparent and verifiable, which will reduce the chances of corruption.
