BUILDING PERMITS

Building permits (licencias) are necessary before any construction begins.  Even if the foundations are already in place, a portion of the building is already in place, the home is a pre-fab (pre-fabricated) or the building is a primary home, the building permits must be finalised first.  Remember that even additions require Building permits.

In Spain, there are 2 different forms of permits for building:

Minor Works Permit for walls, terraces, and barbecue areas. These can be obtained at the Town Hall.  You will need to provide a summary of the construction you plan to have completed and an estimate of the final costs so that the Town Hall can calculate the taxes.  The tax is around 5% of the building costs.

Major Works Permit for new buildings, demolitions, or remodeling.  For this form of permit, you must have a written statement from an architect who is registered with the Spanish Architecture College. Your architect must have a technical architect who works as the Site Manager during the construction.  Finally, a builder must be lined up already before the permit is applied for in town hall. These three workers must each sign the building permit paperwork. as these persons are responsible for the construction.
