la Salzadella

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: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1989. 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?

IGME records 22 wells and boreholes in la Salzadella. Half of the 21 with a depth found water at 89–500 m. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 35% low permeability, local groundwater only; 32% porous aquifer, high productivity; 23% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 10% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
