Planning & Licensing

Planning permissions and licences in the Algarve involve the municipal planning departments and several other public bodies. We guide owners, builders and investors through the process and deal with the authorities on their behalf.

How we help

  • Advice on what can be built or changed on a plot or property.
  • Applications for construction, demolition and use (habitation) licences.
  • Legalisation of existing works and unlicensed buildings.
  • Local accommodation (Alojamento Local) and tourist rental registrations.
  • Building contracts with contractors and architects.
  • Disputes over delays, defects and payments in construction works.
  • Complaints and appeals against municipal decisions.
