About this procedure
Zoning compliance (Conformidad de Uso) is the document in which city hall certifies that the activity you want to carry out is allowed, in urban planning terms, at those premises and in that zone. Each municipality has its own land-use plan and zoning, and not everything can be done everywhere: an industrial warehouse can't simply turn into a restaurant, and a space in a residential zone can't just open as a repair shop. Zoning compliance is what confirms, before you invest, that your business legally fits where you want to set it up.
And city hall will require it, no exceptions, before granting your business license, which makes it a classic bottleneck: the entrepreneur signs the lease, invests in fitting out the space and then finds out the zoning doesn't allow the activity, or that the zoning compliance is delayed and holds up the whole opening. Checking the permitted use before committing money to a location is one of the steps that saves the most headaches, and getting it right from the start keeps you from having to move a business that's already up and running.
We check it and handle it for you: we review the property's zoning against your activity, warn you about any incompatibility before it becomes an issue, gather the required documents and process your zoning compliance with city hall. The price starts at $110 and is adjusted based on your municipality. A lawyer reviews your situation and confirms everything before we start, no strings attached.
