Planning permission is a matter of course if your piece of land is within the confines of a village, town or city.



If your piece of land is not within the confines of a village, town or city, but is within the area covered by town planning, you will be granted permission to build on it provided it measures 2,000m 2, and borders with a municipal road. If your land is not within the confines of a village, town or city, and is not within the area covered by town planning, you will be granted permission to build on it if it measures 4,000m 2 or more, provided it is not within a forested area, and no restrictions are imposed by the Department of Archaeology.



Only fully qualified, registered architects or engineers are allowed to apply for building permits. The cost is approx. 4% - 5% of the estimated cost of the building. Municipal taxes and duties are incorporated in electricity bills. The amount added to your two-monthly bill is negligible and includes a compulsory television license.
