Building Permit Application

Highly Technical (20 working days) MEO 20 working days Total Fees: ₱2,000.00

You need a Building Permit before you start any construction, renovation, or structural alteration in Madridejos. This includes new houses, commercial buildings, extensions, and major renovations. The permit ensures your building plans comply with the National Building Code. The fee starts at ₱2,000.00 but varies based on your building's floor area, type, and use. This takes longer because your plans need technical review — prepare your documents early.
