Building permit in Italy: prior payment of a municipal contribution is required
Curated by J.D. Andrea Campiotti
When a building permit is granted in Italy, the builder must pay a contribution to the Municipality, covering both urbanization charges and construction costs, which must be settled before the works can legally begin.
In the Italian legislation, the issuance of a building permit (permesso di costruire) is conditional upon the payment of a building contribution (contributo di costruzione). This contribution is required as consideration for the increased urban impact generated by the proposed development, as well as for the economic benefit accruing to the builder as a result of the works.
