For homes with a surface area greater or less than 100m2, the cost is adapted according to the surface area, not being able to give you a calculation formula right now. If you are interested in the exact rate, ask us.

There is no portal where you can check if your home has a valid certificate of occupancy or not.
The only option that exists to be able to know this information is to consult it in the City Council’s urban planning area. They’ll check their file and tell you.
Of course, in the event that there has been a recent sale, you’ll have to take into account that you won’t be the holder of the certificate of occupancy, so you won’t be able to request a copy for the procedure you need.
