A licença de construção is an official permit required to begin construction or renovation of buildings. It ensures that the project complies with local laws, safety standards, and zoning regulations. Obtaining this license typically involves submitting plans and documents to the local government for approval. Before starting any construction work, property owners must apply for the licença de construção at their municipal office. The process may include inspections and consultations with architects or engineers to ensure that the project meets all necessary requirements. Without this license, construction can be halted or deemed illegal.
