This show the enforcement of building code in Nepal is crucial. Where it has 217 municipalities, among which 25% are medium sized and 70% are emerging towns. Each municipality has different building permit process as a result of which the level of building code implementation is different in different municipalities. In most of the municipalities, buildings are planned and constructed with little or no intervention for seismic safety. This has led to the increment of seismically vulnerable building stocks. Dharan Sub-Metropolitan City, Bharatpur Sub-Metropolitan City, Dhangadi Sub-Metropolitan City and Vyas Municipality represent the municipalities from different development regions. In an average total 4,300 buildings are constructed annually in these municipalities. However, there is only one engineer and one Assistant Engineer in each municipality to look after the whole process. These municipalities are working on building code enforcement from last five to seven years and are in evolution process by learning and doing. During this period, they have upgraded the building permit system with feedback from house-owners and different stakeholders. From last one year, these municipalities have worked together to develop a simple, realistic, common and easily adaptable building permit process for effective enforcement of building code. This paper describes the common building permit system for enforcement of building code in these municipalities. This building permit system seeks involvement of different stakeholders and third party verification at different levels and auto-mechanized monitoring system between different stakeholders. It consists of simplified flowchart allowing the completion of the whole process within short duration and with existing human resources in the municipality. This building permit process can be further replicated to other emerging towns of the country.
