The National Inspectorate for Territorial Protection (), abbreviated as IKMT, is a government agency in Albania that operates under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Albania. It is responsible for enforcing national construction, land use, and environmental protection regulations throughout the country.
The origins of the agency date back to 2007, when the National Urban Construction Inspectorate (, abbreviated as INUK) was established to oversee construction activities and enforce urban planning regulations in Albania, pursuant to Law no. 9780, dated 16 July 2007.
In November 2015, the INUK was dissolved and its duties were transferred to the newly formed National Inspectorate for Territorial Protection (IKMT), formalized by Decision of the Council of Ministers No. 893, dated 4 November 2015. Since then, IKMT has operated as the national authority responsible for territorial protection, demolition of unauthorized constructions, and enforcement of urban and environmental regulations across Albania.
