Zoning Status Inquiry (İmar Durumu Sorgulama)

Before You Buy a Property .. Know Its Zoning Status First

The "İmar Durumu Sorgulama" service, provided by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization via e-Devlet, empowers you to officially uncover the legal and regulatory status of any plot of land or property in Turkey. Instead of relying on a seller's words or verbal promises, you can now obtain a precise report showing whether the property is designated for residential, commercial, or agricultural use, and whether there are any restrictions on construction, height, or usage.

After logging into e-Devlet with your password, search for the Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı İmar Durumu Sorgulama service. You will need to enter the property details: province (İl), district (İlçe), neighborhood (Mahalle), and plot number (Ada/Parsel). In seconds, the official zoning report appears in detail, and you can print it or save it as a PDF for use in legal and banking transactions.

Don’t let the excitement of buying blind you from verifying a property’s validity. A single report can protect you from losing thousands of dollars on an illegal or restricted-use property. The service is free and spares you the cost of lawyers and consultants in the initial stage, so be prudent and start here.
