Teià

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Catalonia allows no new houses on rustic land. Restoring an existing or listed building is the way.

DL 1/2010, art. 47. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 2023. 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 9 wells and boreholes in Teià. Half of the 9 with a depth found water at 23–28 m.

Ground: 85% practically impermeable; 13% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
