Methodological information
Purpose and Coverage
The purpose is to collect basic data concerning residential and non-residential buildings, as well as other building activities such as civil engineering works, land division and road construction, by province (urban and rural areas). For each category of project, information is compiled on the number of permits issued, the area and value of the project and the number of housing units planned to be built.
All building permits issued by local government authorities, i.e. town halls, provincial administrations of the Ministry of Interior and Agios Tychon Community Council, are covered.
Data collection
The Statistical Service receives on a monthly basis from all local government authorities copies of all building permit forms issued by them. The information contained in the forms is appropriately coded by the Statistics Office to produce the statistics. The EU Classification of Construction (CC) is used to categorise the different building projects.
For more information, interested parties can visit the Statistical Office Portal, under Construction, CYSTAT-DB (Database), Predefined Tables (Excel), or contact Mr Achilleas Moustakas at 22602156 or amoustakas@cystat.mof.gov.cy.
Note that the Predefined Tables in Excel format include data up to December 2022. For January 2023 and onwards, the update is done only in the CYSTAT-DB Database.
