Arrankudiaga-Zollo

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Basque Country allows a new house on rustic land only when a farm needs it. Otherwise it has to go in a village, or restore a building.

Ley 2/2006, art. 28. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 2009. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 100% of the municipality.

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

Is there water?

No well or borehole is recorded in Arrankudiaga-Zollo. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 94% low permeability, local groundwater only; 5.6% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
