An important factor in administrative proceedings is the time factor, which affects the ability of a person to exercise his rights, fulfill the obligations provided for by law, as well as the course of consideration of the case by the public administration regarding the person.

The purpose of this scientific article is to study the essence of time limits and other temporal categories in the administrative procedure, in particular, demarcation of their content, delineation of the practical meaning of time limits, their distribution into types that have practical significance in law enforcement, analysis of legislative prescriptions regarding the calculation of time limits in administrative proceedings, their renewal, extension, reduction and termination.

The scientific article emphasizes that the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Procedure” is an act of a general nature, which established universal provisions on deadlines in the administrative procedure and the order of their calculation. The author stated the absence of a single approach in the rule-making technique to the use of the categories “term” and “term”, which gave rise to the chaotic nature of their consolidation in legislative acts. The differences in the content of these categories were highlighted, which allowed them to be distinguished. The importance of meeting the deadlines in the implementation of administrative proceedings is emphasized, which provides a person with legal certainty and predictability in relations with the public administration and ultimately guarantees the rule of law. The importance of deadlines in administrative proceedings is confirmed by their enshrining in such principles of administrative procedure as timeliness and a reasonable deadline, which oblige the administrative body to act quickly when deciding an administrative case, to take into account the significance of the administrative act for the person, but also allow taking into account the workload, complexity of the case and other factors.

The author gives the types of deadlines in the administrative procedure, in particular, the deadlines for initiating administrative proceedings and procedural deadlines, deadlines for a person and for an administrative body, deadlines established by law and those determined by an administrative body, preclusive deadlines.

The procedure for calculating deadlines, in particular, establishing the initial and final moments, as well as the rules for renewing the missed deadline, extending it, reducing it, and stopping it, were analyzed.
