Investigation Reveals Lack of Permits for Burned Residences
August 27, 2025
According to information from the Limassol District Administration, the recent fires had serious consequences for residences. Out of 710 homes that burned or were damaged, only 293 have building permits, while 104 were built without any permits. Additionally, there are 221 cases where sufficient documentation regarding the permits is lacking. The Mayor of Kourion estimates that the percentage of unlicensed homes might be higher than the initially reported 20-30%. The situation reveals weaknesses in the region's construction sector.
