Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Greece is undergoing administrative shifts that impact local governance and property management. Previous reforms, such as the ‘Kallikratis’ program, consolidated municipal registries and altered the responsibility of municipal authorities for services like urban planning. Building on these administrative changes, the central government is currently negotiating a reform to transfer Building Services (YDOM) from municipalities to a proposed national entity, the National Organization of Cadastre and Building Control (EOKED). The Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Ministry of Digital Governance are leading the establishment of this body. A primary conflict exists regarding whether this transfer should be mandatory or optional. The Hellenic Union of Municipalities and Communities (KEDE) is advocating for an optional model to allow organized municipalities to retain their current services. Local leaders have suggested they may seek recourse through the Council of State if the final framework does not address their objections. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-16: Greece negotiates urban planning reform with local mayors The Greek government is negotiating with local mayors to transfer municipal building services to a new national organization, EOKED, amid debates over whether the transition should be mandatory. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greece-negotiates-urban-planning-reform-with-local-mayors ### 2026-09-19: Greece: How administrative boundary changes affect properties Administrative reforms, such as Greece’s Kallikratis program, can change a property's municipality and governing authorities without altering its physical location. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/greece-how-administrative-boundary-changes-affect-properties --- Cite as: Greek administrative and urban planning reforms.
