Coupons for Save Homedecision no. 69/2024 which, more than a year ago, was used by the Government as a means to start addressing the huge problem of small differences in property, which is widespread throughout Italy. This is also one of the hypothetical modifications that could be included in the draft budget law for 2026 and which has now become a reality with an unacceptable first step: the proposal has been included in the dossier of amendments reported by the Fratelli d’Italia, and signed by Matteo Gelmetti and Domenico Matera.
This time we are outside the trend I forgiveto which the executive has dedicated four proposals, with the possibility of reopening (in different ways) the amnesties of 1985 and 2003 and rushing to process outstanding requests. Instead, Save Home aims to strengthen health building defects present in millions of properties, without exception to the usual rules and special procedures. For this reason, he inserted a long series of changes in Presidential Decree no. 380/2001, Building Consolidation Law.
Conformity assessment
Among the most relevant innovations of Save home there is conformity assessmentnew procedures included in article 36 bis to remedy (at cost) some important differences and variations. The first idea is to facilitate access to this amnesty, thereby further softening the barriers (much of which were removed by the Save Home decision) regarding dual compliance. At this time, it is necessary to demonstrate urban planning compliance with the work that must be repaired at that time submission of application and construction at that time realization intervention.
The amendment harmonizes these two steps and says that «the person responsible for the misuse or the current owner of the property can obtain a building permit and provide an official report on the start of activities under the amnesty if the intervention complies with the municipal planning regulations as well as the requirements determined by the building regulations in force at the time of submission of the application». Therefore, with considerable simplification, we will only look at the time of filing an amnesty application, which definitively cancels dual suitability.
News about sanctions
But the most impactful news can be worrying sanctions must be paid to correct this discrepancy. This is a step that, since the passing of the law, has been one of the most difficult for operators to digest, since it establishes rather complex calculation criteria that, moreover, involves the State Revenue Agency. It is not a coincidence that the Ministry of Infrastructure provided clarification regarding this matter. But the amendment hypothesizes that there is a clear shortcut simplification.
