It is prohibited to start the work for which a building permit or authorization certificate is required before first obtaining a permit or authorization certificate.

The maximum time for processing an application for a permit is forty (40) calendar days, and the maximum time for processing an application for an authorization certificate is thirty (30) calendar days, and this only after the receipt of all required documents, whether the application is approved or not. However, for minor work, the building permit or authorization certificate may be issued on the spot or within a few days.
