For many renovations it is enough to submit a <strong>declaraci\u00f3n responsable<\/strong>: a document in which the developer declares that the works comply with regulations, accompanied by the technical documentation the town hall asks for. It is quicker than a licence, but the responsibility is the same: if the works don't comply, the town hall can stop them and impose a fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which works go through a declaraci\u00f3n responsable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Valencian Community, the TRLOTUP separates works that need a licence (article 232) from those that go through a declaraci\u00f3n responsable (article 233). In plain language:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>They need a licence:<\/strong> new builds, extensions, works affecting the structure, plot divisions and earthworks, and works on listed buildings.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>A declaraci\u00f3n responsable is enough:<\/strong> renovations that don't alter the structure, maintenance works, fa\u00e7ade renovations on unlisted buildings, walls and fences, and first and subsequent occupancy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Region of Murcia the arrangement is similar, under Law 13\/2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each town hall sets out in its bylaw what documentation must be provided: sometimes a description and a budget are enough; other times, a technical report or a signed project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How we do it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Visit<\/strong> to see the works you want to carry out and confirm they don't need a licence.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Technical documentation:<\/strong> report, drawings, budget and whatever your town hall asks for.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Submission<\/strong> of the declaraci\u00f3n responsable and, if needed, the permit to occupy the public road for scaffolding or a skip.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Site supervision<\/strong>, if the works require it or if you want us to oversee them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I start the works the next day?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, the declaraci\u00f3n responsable entitles you to start from the moment you submit it complete. Even so, always check whether your town hall asks for anything else, and don't start without the registered copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What taxes and fees are payable?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The construction tax (ICIO) and the municipal fee, set by each town hall. They are calculated on the budget for the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens if I do the works without declaring them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a planning offence: the town hall can halt the works, fine you and require them to be legalised or reversed. It can also cause you problems when selling or when applying for the <a href=\"\/en\/servicios\/licencia-segunda-ocupacion\/\">second occupancy<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renovations that don't touch the structure, fa\u00e7ades, roofs or fences: we tell you whether a declaraci\u00f3n responsable is enough or you need a licence, and we prepare it for you.<\/p>","protected":false},"menu_order":30,"template":"","meta":{"_us_nivel":"servicio","_us_familia":"licencias-y-tramites","_us_titulo_seo":"Declaraci\u00f3n responsable de obras en Alicante y Murcia | Unit\u00e9","_us_resumen":"Para reformas y obras que no necesitan licencia: te decimos si es tu caso y preparamos la documentaci\u00f3n.","_us_incluye":"","_us_relacionados":"dos-banos-en-orihuela","_us_cta":"\u00bfTienes una obra peque\u00f1a entre manos?","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2153","unite_servicio","type-unite_servicio","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/servicios\/2153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/servicios"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/unite_servicio"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/servicios\/2153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2165,"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/servicios\/2153\/revisions\/2165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/unitearquitectura.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
