Commercial premises in Uzbekistan are an important part of urban infrastructure and are widely used both in standalone buildings and within multi-apartment residential complexes. Their legal status is defined by housing legislation, which distinguishes between residential and non-residential property.
The term “commercial premises” is not explicitly defined in law. In practice, it refers to non-residential premises used for business activities, including offices, retail, and services.
The use of residential property for commercial purposes is permitted only after its official conversion into non-residential premises in accordance with legal procedures.
Within residential buildings, commercial premises may operate if they:
— are originally designated as non-residential;
— or have been legally converted.
Owners of non-residential premises hold property rights but are also required to contribute to the maintenance of common property.
The use of commercial premises must comply with sanitary, environmental, and fire safety regulations. Violations may result in administrative liability or restrictions on use. Thus, commercial premises in Uzbekistan represent a specific category of non-residential real estate with a defined legal regime, combining private rights and public restrictions.
