This paper aims to describe the process of regularizing and obtaining a occupancy permit for a
single-family social housing property located in the Cidade Nova I neighborhood in the city of
Manaus, Amazonas. Urban expansion requires strict control by public organizations, making
regularization and issuance of a occupancy permit essential for the proper occupation of spaces
and the correct execution of works and engineering services. The Cidade Nova neighborhood,
located in the northern part of Manaus, was planned in the 1980s during the government of
Professor José Bernardino Lindoso, initially to house 15,000 low-income housing units.
However, only 1,800 homes were completed in the first phase, inaugurated on April 23, 1981.
Since then, the neighborhood has expanded to include stages I, II, III, IV, and V, becoming the
most populous in Manaus. The regularization of properties in Cidade Nova is an ongoing and
detailed process that involves the presentation of documents, architectural projects, and obtaining
certificates. The Municipal Institute of Urban Planning of Manaus (IMPLURB) considers
regularization and occupancy permits essential for issuing the Certificate of Regularization and
Occupancy Permit for buildings completed without prior approval and licensing of the
architectural project. This study describes the case study of a single-family property that
underwent this process, completed in approximately four months, resulting in a 20% increase in
value after the issuance of the occupancy permit. During the execution of this work, the stages
and challenges faced in the regularization and occupancy permit process were analyzed, with
emphasis on the conformity of the building volume with current standards and the absence of
frontal setback from the land, as required by Law No. 1.838/2014. The proposed alternatives were
also evaluated, such as the applicant's handwritten justification due to socioeconomic limitations,
and the CMDU's opinion that verified the possibility of regularizing the property. The results
showed that, in addition to legalizing the occupation and use of the space, regularization provides
greater security and peace of mind to the owners. The success in obtaining the occupancy permit
represents habitability under current legislation and reflects the commitment to sustainable and
orderly urban development in the city of Manaus. For future work, we suggest implementing realtime sharing systems between the sectors responsible for analyzing the regularization process,
providing guides and teaching manuals, and creating free or low-cost technical and legal
assistance programs.
