KEY POINTS

  • Kocaeli is split into two building inspection zones
  • Balıkesir is split into three building inspection zones
  • Organizations can apply to opt out of assignments outside their home zone
  • The Ministry must decide on applications within seven business days
  • The new system takes effect one month after October 30, 2026

A regulation published in the Official Gazette on October 30, 2026, changes how building inspection organizations are assigned electronically in Kocaeli and Balıkesir. The Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change introduced the amendment.

Kocaeli is divided into two zones. The first zone covers Başiskele, Derince, Gölcük, İzmit, Kandıra, Karamürsel and Kartepe. The second zone covers Çayırova, Darıca, Dilovası, Gebze and Körfez.

Balıkesir is divided into three zones. The first zone includes Ayvalık, Burhaniye, Edremit, Gömeç and Havran. The second zone includes Altıeylül, Karesi, Balya, Bigadiç, Dursunbey, Kepsut, Savaştepe, Sındırgı, Susurluk and İvrindi. The third zone includes Bandırma, Erdek, Gönen, Manyas and Marmara.

Organizations may apply to the Ministry if they do not want to work outside the zone where their headquarters are located. Applications will be concluded within seven business days at the latest.

The regulation enters into force one month after its publication date. From then on, electronic assignments in both provinces will follow the new zonal system.
