Cheongyang County announced on September 15 that it has been selected as an "Outstanding Institution" in the 2025 Comprehensive Architectural Administration Evaluation, organized by South Chungcheong Province.

According to the county, this evaluation targeted 15 cities and counties within the province and assessed them across five categories and 23 detailed indicators, including the rationality of architectural administrative procedures, safety management, maintenance of buildings, improvement efforts, and indicators specific to South Chungcheong Province.

The county processed permits such as building approvals, construction commencement notifications, and occupancy authorizations within the legal deadlines, ensuring prompt and transparent public service. It also maintained a low rate of construction site accidents and contributed to creating a pleasant living environment by thoroughly conducting regular inspections and managing illegal structures based on the Cheongyang County Building Management Ordinance.

Additionally, the county actively promoted eco-friendly and community-centered policies, such as securing preliminary zero-energy certification for public buildings, implementing the Vacant House Connection (remodeling) project, and supporting the management of aging apartment complexes.

Notably, Cheongyang County was the first in the Chungcheong region to introduce an exemption system for reporting the construction of small-scale cold storage facilities, reducing the burden on local farmers. This is recognized as a leading example of regulatory innovation.

Kim Dongon, the county governor, stated, "Being selected as an Outstanding Institution is an achievement accomplished together with our residents," and added, "We will continue to actively pursue carbon neutrality policies by managing illegal structures and expanding green and zero-energy buildings, while maintaining resident-friendly architectural administration."
