First Occupancy Certificates

What it is and why it is necessary

The First Occupancy Certificate is a technical-administrative document that certifies that a building or dwelling, whether newly built or after a comprehensive renovation, meets the technical, urban and legal conditions to be inhabited. This certificate ensures that the construction has been carried out in accordance with the approved project, respecting current regulations regarding safety, health and habitability.

Contents of the First Occupancy Certificate

The document includes the following key aspects:

Verification of regulatory compliance: Ensures that the construction complies with the approved technical project, the building permits granted and the applicable regulations regarding urban planning, construction and safety.
Certification of habitability: Certifies that the home complies with the basic requirements of functionality, ventilation, lighting, accessibility and health.
Description of the property: Detailed information on the characteristics of the building, including useful surface area, distribution, facilities and assigned use.

Confirmation of completion of construction: Indicates that the works have been completed in their entirety and that there are no significant deficiencies that affect their use.
Complementary technical documentation: Plans, photographs and other documents that support the final state of construction.

When is the Certificate of First Occupancy required?

This certificate is mandatory in situations such as:

Comprehensive renovations or changes of use: This guarantees that the work carried out on the property meets the necessary conditions for its habitability.
