The revision of Portugal’s Legal Framework for Urbanisation and Building (RJUE) introduces new rules aimed at simplifying procedures, speeding up deadlines and clarifying the framework applicable to several urban development projects.

The changes include new rules on prior notifications, prior information requests, procedural deadlines and urban planning titles.

For anyone planning to build, alter or renovate a property, understanding the new framework is essential to knowing which procedure applies and which requirements must be met.

In Urban Planning Law, knowing the rules before you act can help prevent problems later.
