before making building plans
(continues from previous page)
-
Check local municipality and Forestry Department plans for land usage restrictions.
-
Study the official records carefully, checking for restrictions in the ownership of the
property. Like public road restrictions, water easements, utilities restrictions or any other type of restriction.
In case you have bought a large property with many natural features on it, make sure that the property is not
included in a national park or reserve. Search for national park restrictions in the Ministerio de Recursos
Naturales, Energia y Minas (Energy, Natural Resource and Mine Department), in the Servicio Nacional de Parques
(National Park Service). Also, check with the Direccion General Forestal (Forestry Department) to make sure you
can use the property without breaking any forestry laws.
-
Look in at Ministerio de Salud (Heath Department), Instituto de Vivienda y Urbanismo
(Housing and Urban Development Department) to review the master zoning plans.
