Despite what some may think, before getting fully into a small reform at home, several things must be taken into account, beyond having the necessary economic budget to carry it out. And, among other things, it is essential to know what type of permission we need to make this reform.
In Saragossa, many of the usual actions in a house, whether to renew the kitchen, change soils, tighten a bath or replace windows, require a minor work license, a mandatory but simple procedure, which allows the City Council to control that the works do not alter the structure or urban design of the building.
The minor work license is necessary for low -entity reforms that do not imply structural modifications or affect protected elements or out of order. For example, if you are going to paint, change electrical installations or renew the interiors without moving septums, you must previously communicate these works to the administration.
In addition, this type of licenses are subject to a tax quota based on the budget of the work, to which a processing rate is added. In this article we explain in detail when a minor work license is needed in Zaragoza and how to request it correctly.
