How to use it
- Determine the budget of ejecución material (PEM) of the project, base to the cálculo of fees
- Select the rate of permit: comunicación previa (obras menores), project lesser, project greater, or permit of actividad
- Apply the rate impositivo municipal over the PEM (between 0.5% and 5% según the municipality and the rate of project)
- Add the ICIO (Impuesto over Construcciones, Instalacion is and Obras): 4% of the PEM as rate estatal estándar
- Verify the rate mÃnima municipal: each town hall establish a mÃnimo (150-500 € según rate of permit)
- Añade fees additional: ocupación of vÃa pública, contenedores, grúas, vados temporales
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Not request permit municipal: all the obras that require project técnico need permit (Ley of the Suelo)
- ⚠️ Confusing comunicación previa (obras lower is without project) with permit of project greater (requires project visado)
- ⚠️ Not consultar the ordenanzas fiscal is of the municipality: each town hall tiene tipos impositivos and fees different
- ⚠️ Forget the ICIO: is a tax mandatory that liquida to the request the permit of obras
- ⚠️ Budgeting solo the rate without count the fe is of visado of project ni the dirección facultativa
