Licenses

Getting a license from the Town Hall is a mandatory requirement before starting any construction works.

Building Permission

  • Major Works

    A “Major Works” license is required anytime construction involves changing or exending the physical floor layout, structural integrity, footprint of the building or facade, as well as any new build.

    Obtaining a license can take between three and six months, depending on the municipality. In addition, your residential area may have its own regulations, and it must be ensured that the project is compliant with those building codes. Sometimes, the Town Hall may require the approval of the residential area prior to issuing any license.

    Fees are about 5% of the total build cost.

  • Minor Works

    Any changes to your property will require a “Minor Works” license. This license is easy to get and does not usually take more than 4 weeks to be issued by the Town Hall. However, approval is required before commencing work. Fees are generally about 5% of the build cost.
