  1. 1A grievance against the reconciliation committee’s decision is filed within thirty days of the applicant being notified of it.
  2. 2The grievance committee decides within sixty days of the grievance being filed.

Conditions

  • Reconciliation is possible for building violations committed before the law came into force that do not impair the building's structural safety (Art. 2).
  • Restricted cases include exceeding height limits under the Civil Aviation Law, provided air navigation is not affected and the ministry responsible for civil aviation consents (Art. 2(6)).
  • Reconciliation is prohibited for works impairing structural safety, building on antiquities or Nile-protection land, and changing the use of parking spaces (garages) (Art. 3).
  • Applications are filed within six months of the executive regulations taking effect, extendable for periods totalling no more than three years (Art. 6).
  • An application lapses six months after the filing certificate is received if the documents are not completed (Art. 6).
  • Reconciliation may only be accepted once all existing unfinished facades have been painted; villages and their hamlets are exempt (Art. 9).
  • Reconciliation is refused or voided on non-payment within sixty days, failure to pay two instalments, alteration of the reconciled works, or false documents (Art. 12).
