Urban Planning and Licensing in Ibiza

The Regulatory Framework:

The Island Territorial Plan (PTI) of Ibiza

The PTI of Ibiza is the supreme regulation that organizes the territory and defines land use. Knowing its zoning is mandatory before any capital outlay:

• Urban Land: Land in consolidated nuclei or prestigious urbanizations (Roca Llisa, Can Rimbau, Vista Alegre). Here, regulations depend on the Municipal General Plans (PGOU).
• Rural Land (Common and Protected): Construction in rural areas is strictly limited. It is vital to identify special protection areas such as ANEI (Natural Area of Special Interest) or ARIP, where building restrictions are extreme.
• Link of Interest: You can consult the official directives in the Urban Planning Viewer of the Consell de Eivissa.

Construction License Management: From Project to Execution

Building or expanding in Ibiza requires an impeccable administrative strategy. We differentiate procedures according to the scope of the project:

1. Major Building License (New Construction and Extensions)

Indispensable for single-family homes on rural or urban land, and for any renovation that alters the structure or volume of the asset.

• Rural Requirements: To build in 2026, strict compliance with minimum plot sizes is required (15,000 m² – 25,000 m² depending on the area) and absolute respect for traditional Ibizan aesthetics.
• Processing: Management of basic and execution projects before town councils such as San José, Santa Eulalia, or Ibiza Town.

2. Renovations and Minor Works

For interior renovations, updating facilities, or aesthetic changes that do not affect the main structure.

• Administrative Agility: We manage Prior Communications and Responsible Declarations so that your renovation can begin without the wait times of a major license.

🛡️ Comprehensive Urban Planning Due Diligence

It is the “life insurance” of your investment. Before buying, we perform an exhaustive examination of the asset:

• Infringement History: We verify the non-existence of open sanctioning files at the town hall or the Territory Defense Agency (ADT).
• Metric Validation: We check that what is built faithfully matches the Final Work certificate and the Occupancy Certificate (Cédula de Habitabilidad).
• Tourist License Status: For assets with vacation rental potential, we audit that the license complies with the current moratorium and zoning in 2026.

📐 Technical Office and Project Management

• Viability Reports: Can the house be extended? Can a pool be built? We deliver a binding report before the purchase.
• Structure Legalization: Regularization projects for old constructions that meet prescription requirements.
• Certificates Management: Obtaining Occupancy Certificates, Certificates of Non-Infringement, and energy efficiency certificates.
