The Addis Ababa Regulation Enforcement Authority was established to ensure compliance with city regulations and maintain order in Ethiopia's capital. Our authority operates under the city administration with a mandate to enforce rules and regulations that make Addis Ababa a better place for all its residents and visitors.

- Building code compliance
- Business licensing enforcement
