• To convert a house in to a party hall and register the property for commercial purpose

Dear Sirs,
I have a 30-cent land with a house having 3000 sq. ft in it. I want to register this property as a party hall to conduct functions like marriages, family gatherings etc. The building layout is suitable to conduct marriage functions and the wide courtyard of 500 sq.mtr can be used for dining and living by installing roof shades with proper ventilation.
What kind of authority approvals will be required for the above purpose? To whom can I approach for an assessment of the specifications of the property?

Thank you very much in advance for your valuable time and advice.

Dear Client,

You can check with your local municipality or zoning authority to ensure that your property is zoned for commercial use, specifically for a party hall or events venue. If it's not currently zoned for commercial activities, you may need to apply for a zoning change or variance. Since you'll be making modifications to your existing structure, such as installing roof shades and ensuring proper ventilation, you'll likely need a building permit. This permit ensures that the modifications comply with local building codes and regulations. Depending on your location, there may be specific health and safety regulations that apply to event venues. This could include requirements for fire safety, accessibility for people with disabilities, food handling facilities, restroom facilities, etc. You'll need to ensure that your property meets all relevant health and safety standards. You'll likely need to obtain a business license or permit to operate a party hall or events venue. This license ensures that your business complies with local business regulations and taxation requirements.

You need permission from muncipal corporation for use of your residential property for commercial use as marriage hall 

 

2) you need fire safety permit 

 

3) you need police licence issued by commissioner of police for use of premises for public entertainment 

 

4) bar licence from state govt for serving liquor 

 

5) you also need licence under FSSAI act if you are serving food having turnover over 12 lakhs per annum

It is permitted  under certain conditions.

It mainly depends on: Zoning laws: Your local municipal or planning department determines zoning, which dictates land use.

Changing zoning requires approval, often involving public hearings and justification for the commercial benefit.

Building codes: Commercial properties have stricter safety and accessibility codes than residential ones. Your existing property might need renovations to comply.


Permits and licenses: You'll need specific permits and licenses for the intended commercial activity.

DC conversion usually refers to converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use.

Charges for such conversion vary significantly depending on location, land size, intended use, and relevant government policies.

It's best to consult with local authorities for specific details.

- You can apply before the Municipal corporation for getting permission to use the said property commercially 

- Further you need an approval certificate by the Pollution Control Board for using that property as marriage hall or to conducting function therein. 

- Further, as Marriage halls and caterers come under Food Safety Act and hence you should get the license under this Act as well.

Permission for land use conversion needs to be obtained from your State town and country planning authority, first. At the district level, it is the local planning authority. After obtaining their approval for land use conversion, you need to obtain the local municipal authority's permission for running a marriage hall and assessment of our property tax on commercial basis.
