Hello, sorry I can't answer you here but I am facing a same situation... (renovation!)...

I bought a subsale property and I want to do some minor changes to its facade.

The proposed changes are sort of 'minor' with no noticeable changes to structural shape, but do we need to get permit from Majlis Perbandaran as well? They include:

1. Hacking away an unattractive "roman column"-inspired balcony on the 1st floor, and make a simpler "brutalist" structure... same size but different aesthetics.

2. Cover up one door at the bottom (that one is bad Feng Shui, apparently)!

3. Change the flooring of the car porch and hack away the present tiles to make way for a little garden patch.

4. Remove the horrendously tacky metal awning and substitute it with a flat concrete plane as a 'roof'.

My property agent told me that to get a permission, you need to show the CF too... but the previous owners of the house did not get it lor... although they have paid the fees to the Majlis Perbandaran in the early 90s...

I wonder how! They say a fine may result in not getting the permit for renos... how much are these fines, I wonder?

If anyone could explain to me and the TS some of the processes to this, I would be very grateful!
