What is the urban planning certificate?
The urban planning certificate is the information document that lets the applicant know about the legal, economic and technical status of a building, the characteristics of the area in which the building is located (site), the urban planning requirements to be met, as well as the list of permits and agreements required to authorise the execution of construction works.
The urban planning certificate is drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the town planning documents (P.U.G., P.U.Z., P.U.D.) or of the land use plans, approved according to the law, for the territory on which the building is located, as well as other regulations in the field.
Why do we need such a certificate?
The urban planning certificate is mainly issued to authorise construction works and related installations, but also for the demolition of buildings.
In the case of the sale or purchase of property, the urban planning certificate provides important information about the town planning consequences of the legal transaction. In this case, applying for a urban planning certificate is optional.
The urban planning certificate can also be requested for the concession of land, the dismemberment, consolidation or separation of plots for the purpose of carrying out construction or infrastructure works and the creation of an easement over a property.
How to request this document?
The urban planning certificate is issued at the request of any applicant, natural or legal person, who may be interested in knowing the data and regulations to which the property is subject.
The necessary documents will be obtained from the beneficiary, i.e. OCPI. As a rule, the necessary documents are land registry extracts, 1:500 and 1:2000 topographical plans, endorsed by the Land Registry Office.
