GUIDE 2
Urban and Building permits in Spain
In Spain, various types of permits are required for construction, renovation, or changes in property use. Our spanish-swedish architecture firm guides you through the entire process.
1. Urban Planning Status (Planeamiento)
Every plot or building is governed by a detailed urban plan (Plan general or similar), which defines what can be built, how much, and with what limitations. We analyze this for you at an early stage.
2. Minor Works License (Licencia de obra menor)
Applies to small-scale work like bathroom renovations or painting. Often, a simple notice to the municipality is enough.
3. Major Works License (Licencia de Obra Mayor)
Required for structural changes, extensions, new construction, or change of use. This license requires a full architectural project, technical documentation, and municipal approval.
4. Other Required Documents
- - Urban planning certificate (Certificado urbanístico)
- - Technical report (Informe técnico)
- - First occupancy license (Licencia de primera ocupación)
- - Energy certificate, acoustic compliance, etc.
5. Timeframes and Responsibility
Permit timelines vary by municipality and can range from a few weeks to several months. We handle applications, communicate with town hall technicians, and track the process for you.
Conclusion
Spanish bureaucracy can be complex – but with the right guidance, the process is manageable. We offer a complete service focused on safety, clarity, and professional responsibility.
