What Is a Certificado de No Infracción Urbanística?

The Certificado de No Infracción Urbanística is an official document issued by the local municipality.

It confirms that no urban planning violations or illegal constructions have been identified on the property under current planning regulations.

In some municipalities, this document may also be referred to as:

  • Certificado de Inexistencia de Infracción Urbanística
  • Informe Urbanístico

Why Is This Certificate Important When Selling?

When selling a property in Spain, it must be demonstrable that:

✔ The property was legally constructed
✔ Any extensions or modifications were properly authorised
✔ No ongoing urban planning procedures exist

If this certificate is missing, it may:

✔ Cause delays at the notary
✔ Create uncertainty for buyers
✔ Complicate mortgage approval

When Should You Request the Certificate?

The certificate must be requested from the municipality where the property is located.

Processing times may vary and can take several weeks, depending on the municipality and the complexity of the file.

In municipalities such as Dénia, Jávea or Calpe, a technical report may be required before the certificate is issued.
