Plan Regulador

Land use certificate

We help you request the certificate that states which activities the zoning plan allows on your property.

What is the land use certificate for?

The land use certificate is the municipal document stating whether the activity you plan —housing, retail, industry or other— complies with the zoning of the Plan Regulador (zoning plan) of San Carlos.

It is usually required before a building permit or a business license (patente), and for some procedures with other institutions.

Usual requirements

  • Municipal application form.
  • Property (finca) number and a copy of the survey plan.
  • Owner’s ID, or an authorization if someone else files it.
  • Description of the activity you plan to carry out.
  • Municipal taxes paid up to date.

How it works

    We clarify what you want to build or which business you want to open.

  2. Property review

    We review the survey plan and location against the zoning.

  3. Application

    We file the request with complete documents.

  4. Delivery and explanation

    We hand you the certificate and explain what it allows.
