Building Permit

[mr bill]

Hi Mayra,

Yes building permits are required. There are two types: Obras Menores [under 60m2] and Obras Mayores [mas que 60m2].

The difference is in Menores you submit your proposal and if it is allowed you are given a year to complete the project. In Mayores a building inspector makes periodic visits.

I'm not sure but even for my Menores after I have done my plans I give them to a local architect and he presents them to Obras Publicas [near el Pipila] I think other members with more recent full house construction can give you more detailed info. Also note if your project is in a Historical Area INAH has to approve your work
