Morocco greenhouse permits: issuing authorities and time limits

Which public bodies issue building licences and project approvals for commercial greenhouses in Morocco, and the time limits written into law for each decision.

Who issues the permits

  • Regional Investment Centre (CRI) — Single point of contact for investment projects and related administrative approvals in each region.
  • Agricultural Development Agency (ADA) — Supports agricultural investment under the Generation Green strategy.

Legal time limits in Morocco

  1. Urban-planning information note (note de renseignements urbanistiques)

    2 working days

    Decree 2-18-577 (General Construction Regulation), art. 7
  2. Review committee minutes sent to the commune president for decision

    3 working days after the meeting

    Decree 2-18-577, art. 38
  3. Decision notified to the applicant

    2 working days after the decision

    Decree 2-18-577, arts. 43–44

The decree sets deadlines for each stage, not one overall figure for a building permit.

These are the limits written into law. Real processing times can be longer.
