Hi,

Someone has recently told me that in order to restore an old flat (changing pretty much everything - the floor, kitchen, bathroom, windows etc - but not moving the walls), then I would need to declare this work to the Hacienda and pay some sort of "restoration" tax first. Is this true? Or does this only apply to external changes to a property?

You may need a building licence from the town hall.  I say may,   because the requirements vary. 

I know one town hall where one must have a licence to re-tile the bathroom/kitchen etc. In another I know, one can completely renew the kitchen without one, as long as you do not interfere with the walls.  So, with a list of what you will do,  ask at the town hall.

The cost of the licence, when I obtained one, was a small percentage of ‘my estimate’ (very low !!! ) for the work.  And all they needed was a rough sketch of what I was going to do,  which I drew at the counter.

Legal tip 28. Minor work licenses 
19 January 2009 @ 07:06 
 

 

 These licenses are intended for works that are characterized by their simplicity and low technical and economic and constructive entity, usually consisting of simple repair works, decoration... which does not require a signed technical project or high budgets. 

 

 

 

 In no case involving restructuring, distribution or substantial modification of Structural elements, they are minor works such as paving the ground, retiling the roof, bright ads...

 

 

 

 There are three types of minor works: 

 

 

 

Informed: This is not a license. They are works that are not subject to license or payment of fees or taxes on buildings, facilities and works.  They include grading work, plot cleaning, interior work that does not involve changes to ceilings, pillars and to the distribution of the building, extraordinary window decorations.... 

 

 

 

 

 

Works subject to licensing and to pay Construction, Equipment and Works tax but not to pay the  Local Council’s fee :  included are: plastering, stuccoing and  painting of facades, balconies, projections, repainting of  shutters, doors;  fences changing of doors and windows, re-roofing  not involving the structure, placement of exhaust and ventilation ... 

 

 

 

 

 

 They are minor works, subject to the obtaining of license, payment of Local Council fee and of the tax for Construction, Equipment and Works.  Includes front eaves, light box signs, closing of hollows of doors, balconies or balcony-window, window hollows, bumps on the sidewalks to facilitate access of vehicles...

I am pretty sure the last post means:    

Quote   "So, with a list of what you will do,  ask at the town hall".
