Spain greenhouse permits: issuing authorities and time limits
Which public bodies issue building licences and project approvals for commercial greenhouses in Spain, and the time limits written into law for each decision.
Who issues the permits
- Municipal council (ayuntamiento) — Urban-planning compatibility and building licence for greenhouse structures and auxiliary buildings.
- Autonomous community (comunidad autónoma) — Regional land-use, environmental assessment and agricultural registration rules.
Legal time limits in Spain
Default maximum period for an administrative decision when no specific rule sets one
3 months
Law 39/2015 on Common Administrative Procedure, art. 21.3
Building-licence deadlines for greenhouses are set by regional and municipal rules, so there is no single national figure.
