What happens if my renovation permit expires before construction is finished?

Short answer: Solidaridad’s permitting structure includes a Modalidad de Prórroga — an extension
category that lets you renew the permit without a full new submission.
Why it matters: Construction delays happen, and buyers sometimes assume a lapsed permit means
starting the entire approval process over. It doesn’t.
What to check:
● Track your permit’s expiration date against your realistic construction schedule
● Apply for the extension before the permit lapses, not after
● Confirm with your architect or builder who is responsible for filing the extension

Bottom line: A permit running out mid-project is a paperwork problem, not a crisis — as long as you file
the extension before it actually expires.
