Casillas de Coria

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Extremadura requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Ley 11/2018, art. 70. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2015. 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 Casillas de Coria. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.

Ground: 87% practically impermeable; 7% low permeability, local groundwater only; 5.1% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
