Where to Check Zoning Status in Arnavutköy: 6 Methods Compared
Short answer: for an official document, obtain a zoning status certificate from Arnavutköy Municipality; to see the plan itself, use İBB e-İmar or the Ministry's e-Plan; for cadastral boundaries and area, TKGM Parcel Query; to see your new zoned parcel, FAR/height and net area after DOP from the old block/parcel on your deed in seconds, e-yenişehir. Below, the six methods are compared on the same criteria.
Comparison table
| Method | What it gives you | Official? | Works with the old block/parcel? | Cost | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| e-Devlet → Arnavutköy Municipality zoning query | Zoning information in the municipality's own system (plan function, building conditions where available) | Informational; not a certificate | Cadastral parcel; after Article 18 the new parcel number may be required | Free | Minutes (e-Devlet login required) |
| İBB City Map / e-İmar | 1/5000 and 1/1000 plan sheets, legend, plan notes; plan decision on the parcel | Official plan view; not a certificate | Cadastral parcel; you must match the new zoned parcel yourself | Free | Minutes; plan-reading skills needed |
| TKGM Parcel Query | Cadastral boundary, area, land type (field/plot), map sheet | Official cadastral data | Yes (closed parcels appear as 'passive') | Free | Minutes; no zoning information |
| Ministry e-Plan / provincial notices | Approved plan sheets, plan amendments, notice periods | Official | No parcel-level query; you read the sheet | Free | Hours; technical |
| Municipal zoning status certificate | Binding zoning status of the parcel: function, FAR/coverage/height, setbacks | Official and binding (basis for permits and sales) | Current parcel number required at application | Fee (municipal tariff) | Days; petition and deed copy |
| e-yenişehir | Old block/parcel → new zoned parcels, zoning type, FAR/height, share distribution, net area after DOP, boundary on satellite map, cadastral table page, PDF report, plan-notice radar | Not official; compiled from Ministry plan + İBB e-İmar + TKGM | Yes, that is its core job (post-Article 18 matching) | Free membership; free queries, extra queries with credits | Seconds |
Which one for which situation
- Building permit, sales contract, bank: the municipal zoning status certificate. Everything else is preliminary research.
- "Has my field been zoned, which is my new parcel, how many m² remain?" e-yenişehir (matches directly from the old parcel), then confirm with the municipal certificate.
- I want to read the plan and plan notes myself: İBB e-İmar or the Ministry's e-Plan.
- Boundary and area verification, passive/closed parcel check: TKGM Parcel Query.
- Following plans and readjustments under public notice: Ministry provincial directorate and municipality announcements; the e-yenişehir notice radar reports them by neighborhood.
Step by step: municipal zoning query via e-Devlet
- On turkiye.gov.tr open the "Arnavutköy Belediyesi İmar Durum Bilgisi Sorgulama" service.
- Enter neighborhood, block and parcel; the result shows the plan function in the municipality's system.
- For parcels that went through Article 18 the old cadastral number may not match; find the new zoned parcel number in e-yenişehir and query again.
Step by step: İBB e-İmar
- Open the İBB City Map and type district/neighborhood/block/parcel in the search box.
- Switch on the 1/1000 implementation plan layer; the colour and legend over the parcel give the plan decision.
- Always read the plan notes: FAR, height limit and setbacks are usually written there.
Step by step: e-yenişehir
- At e-yenisehir.com/uygula or in the app, choose the neighborhood and enter the old block/parcel from the deed (e.g. 182/35).
- Result: the new zoned parcels it maps to, zoning type, FAR/height, share percentages; boundary on satellite imagery; the official cadastral table page.
- Enter your share in m²: net area after DOP, buildable area per parcel and a PDF report are generated.
- Watch the parcel: you are alerted when a readjustment or plan change goes to public notice.
Why results can differ
Four common reasons: (1) the parcel number changed (after Article 18 the old cadastral parcel closes and new zoned parcels open); (2) different plan tier (the 1/5000 master plan and the 1/1000 implementation plan can show the same parcel differently); (3) a plan under notice is not final yet; (4) one of the sources has not been updated. In case of conflict the municipal certificate prevails; e-yenişehir shows the data date and flags parcels still under notice.
Query your parcel now →Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check zoning status in Arnavutköy for free?
The Arnavutköy Municipality query on e-Devlet, İBB e-İmar, TKGM Parcel Query and the free queries in e-yenişehir are all free. The official, binding document is the zoning status certificate issued by the municipality for a fee.
Can I check zoning with my old block/parcel number?
Municipal and İBB systems work with the current parcel number; after an Article 18 readjustment the old number may not match. e-yenişehir matches the old cadastral parcel directly to the new zoned parcels; then obtain the municipal certificate.
How long does a zoning status certificate take?
A few working days depending on the municipality; a petition, a copy of the deed and the fee are required. Doing the preliminary research online and requesting the certificate at decision time saves time.
Is e-yenişehir an official source?
No. It is an information tool compiled from Ministry-approved plans, İBB e-İmar and TKGM data and verified against notice tables. For permits, sales and banking, the municipal certificate prevails.
Does TKGM Parcel Query show zoning status?
No. TKGM gives cadastral boundary, area, land type and map sheet; it does not show plan function, FAR or height. For zoning use the municipality, İBB e-İmar or e-yenişehir.
