¿QUÉ ES LA CÉDULA DE HABITABILIDAD?
Antes de proceder a la renovación del documento pueden surgir una serie de dudas que conviene resolver antes de realizar el encargo a uno de nuestros técnicos. Por ello, hemos recopilado las frequently asked questions on the certificate of occupancy.
Descripción fácil y rápida: ¿Qué es la cédula de habitabilidad?
Para empezar, la pregunta inicial que todos se plantean en el proceso de solicitud de la licencia de segunda ocupación consiste en what is the certificate of occupancy.
This document is the administrative act under which proves that a dwelling is unfit to be used as a residence for human, without prejudice to develop other activities duly authorized.
Types of licenses
Currently we can find three types of certificates, based on the date of construction of the building and if they have been executed certain works of reform:
- First occupation: belong to the homes of new work.
- First occupation of rehabilitation: granted to households who have undergone rehabilitation work.
- Second occupation: awarded to the dwellings used or pre-existing.
Certificate of occupancy prior
To be able to get the id of a property used, previously required a certificate of occupancy prepared by a quantity surveyor, architect or technical architect, which ensures that the residence is suitable for you to live.
¿Es obligatoria la cédula de habitabilidad?
Esta acreditación es imprescindible en todo acto de alquiler, compra-venta o transmisión de una vivienda, además de ser necesaria para dar de alta los suministros básicos de agua, gas, electricidad, telecomunicaciones y otros servicios.
El Decreto 141/2012 de la Generalitat de Catalunya establece que todas las viviendas están obligadas a disponer de licencia de ocupación vigente. De igual manera, regula las características mínimas que debe cumplir una vivienda para poder ser habitable:
- Heights free
- Accessibility
- Ventilation
- Lighting
- Minimal surfaces
- Occupation
- Etc.
¿QUÉ PELIGROS HAY PRESENTES POR VIVIR EN UNA CASA O PISO SIN LA CÉDULA DE HABITABILIDAD?
Despite the fact that many professionals in the sector deny the existence of risks, the reality is quite different. Live the floor without having the card represents a series of unforeseen events:
- It is not permitted to give high supplies of water, gas, electricity, telecommunications and other services.
- Any accident in the home, caused by or damages in construction, will be the responsibility of the owner.
- The insurance will not cover the damage caused to third parties by fire, flood or any other cause, being the responsibility of the owner.
- To reside in a house without a cedula is sanctioned with fines of between 1-5% of the property value.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR THE RENEWAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY?
Antes de nada, se debe confiar a un aparejador, arquitecto o arquitecto técnico la supervisión de la residencia y la elaboración de un certificado que garantice la solidez y el acondicionamiento de la misma.
Tras obtener el visado del documento por el colegio correspondiente, se debe solicitar el permiso en la Agència de l’Habitatge de Catalunya, encargada de notificar directamente al usuario final, mediante correo electrónico, el otorgamiento o la desaprobación
How much does the Certificate of Occupancy of a dwelling to a pre-existing or used?
Esta es, sin duda, la pregunta que muchos se hacen.
In Catalonia and in all, the Spanish territory, the license of second occupation does not have a fixed amount established. For this reason, it is very common that arises the question of how much does it cost to certificate of occupancy.
Each technician has the freedom to specify the fees that creates convenient for the corresponding order. However, there are two other factors that can determine exactly how:
- The price of the visa on the part of the college professional.
- The rate provided by the Agència de l Habitatge.
In our case, during this year, the visa of the certificate of occupancy by the College of Surveyors, Technical Architects and Building Engineers of Barcelona (CAATEEB) has an amount of 12,21 €.
Also, the rate of the government now totals:
- 18,90 € procedures face-to-face.

¿CUÁNTO SE TARDA EN CONSEGUIR LA CÉDULA DE HABITABILIDAD?
To start, one of the most important factors to streamline the entire process is the advance by the owner. Forward the paperwork and have it ready before you sign the contract of immovable property, can mean days or even weeks of no delay. But, ¿cuánto se tarda en conseguir la cédula de habitabilidad?
Often the granting of the licence is the key element to transmit a home. Without this documentation, figures such as the notary or lawyer cannot complete the processing. In some cases, the procedure is relatively agile, but in others, the delay is the main protagonist. In a few words, it is not an exact science.
¿Cuánto tiempo se tarda en conseguir la cédula de habitabilidad?
L’Agència de l’Habitatge dispone de un límite de 30 días lectivos para comunicar la concesión de la cédula. Dicho período se inicia desde el instante en que la Generalitat recibe la solicitud con toda la documentación.
This interval must be added the time required to produce the certificate of occupancy prior, as well as their corresponding approved by the professional association.
Normalmente, la gestión se solventa en menos de un mes, coincidiendo con una espera de 2-3 semanas. Y por si esto fuera poco, la Oficina d’Habitatge a veces nos asombra con tiempos récords de 2-3 días en otorgar el permiso.
Despite this, it is advisable to be cautious and anticipate the emergency arising from the obtaining of the document. These celeridades last time are not the responsibility of the technician in charge of the certificate of occupancy.

Although a multitude of entrepreneurs adopt the role of tenants of a small enclosure, where they play both your work as your daily life. But, a local may obtain a certificate of occupancy?
Cédula de habitabilidad para un almacén o negocio
The locals can't get the certificate of occupancy because it is not considered a dwelling.
Para la concesión del documento, dichos establecimientos deben someterse a un cambio de uso a vivienda cuando esté permitido por la normativa urbanística del municipio. Esto supone la realización de un proyecto básico y de ejecución, aprobado por el colegio profesional. El siguiente paso consiste en solicitar el permiso de obras y finalmente registrar la vivienda. En este mismo instante será posible adquirir la cédula de primera ocupación, simulando la de una nueva residencia
Change of use local home
If you opt for this path, it is necessary to submit:
- A copy of the license change of use;
- A copy of the license of first occupation;
- Original of the final certificate of work;
- And, if you alter the façade or structure of the property, the original of the certificate of compliance of the quality control program.
By more that we, as technicians, we try to instill the legalization of any activity in connection with the construction, it is usually ignore. A clear example is the start of the work before you entrust your project to a builder or architect.
This procedure avoids the legality, and often involves the breach of the conditions of habitability. The owner used to ignoring the rules, being impossible to get the license of occupation after the works.
In short, it is not always a local may obtain a certificate of occupancy. The only way to get it is through a project of change of use. If, on the contrary, the establishment is going to be used as a trade, you can dispense the same.
