Añón de Moncayo

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Aragón requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2014, art. 34.2. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1985. The region's planning viewer ↗

The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.

Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.

Is there water?

IGME records 6 wells and boreholes in Añón de Moncayo. Half of the 6 with a depth found water at 50–120 m. 6 springs are recorded.

Ground: 56% low permeability, local groundwater only; 16% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 14% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 9% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
