zoning law
(continues from previous page)
The "zoning of land" plan you submit must address questions regarding - among other things - public use areas, roads, water and electricity.

If your development dream is located on the 15% or 20% of the coast land not in a Maritime Zone, then you may develop the property without filing a regulating plan. However, developments geared to the tourist industry must be approved by ICT (Tourist Board), anything else requires building permits.

before making building plans
The first thing you want to do before you start making your building plans is to make a close, personal inspection of the property, note the boundaries, the location and condition of fences and/or property markers. If you think it's necessary, bring in an advisor to look things over.

Depending on the location of the property, you might want to:

Study the conditions and amenities of the property, things such as topography, electricity, water drainage, telephone services, etc.

Check the property records at the Ministerio de Obras Publicas y Transportes (Roads and Transportation Department) to make sure the county isn't planning to blast a freeway through the living room of your new home.
