Canet lo Roig

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Valencian Community requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2021, art. 211. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1989. 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?

Ground: 49% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 14% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 13% low permeability, local groundwater only; 12% porous aquifer, high productivity; 12% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
