At a guess, approximately 30.000 homes in Mallorca and 1.000 in Ibiza are out of planning order and these will be able to take advantage of the 3 year amnesty for their legalisation following the procedure detailed at continuation:

1. Studies of suitability and drawing up of estimates
   Legal and technical studies must be carried out by a lawyer and architect respectively, with the object of establishing the suitability and feasibility of the legalisation of the construction or constructions.
    
2. Payment of stamp duties and sanctions on the value of the property
   Procedure and payment of the stamp duties and necessary council licenses to carry out the works of improvement in the homes as well as the payment of a sanction of 15% on the value of the home or installation if this is processed in the first year, 20% if it is processed in the second and 25% if in the third.
   
   
3. Technical requirements of the constructions
   Adaption and improvement works which are compulsory must be carried out by the owner in order to obtain the housing certificate, such as septic tanks or those compulsory requirements to comply with the Council Regulations where the home or construction to be legalised is located.
   
   
4. Registration in the Property Registry Office and other legal formalities
   The Declaration of Works (Declaración de Obra Nueva) must be prepared to be compared and adapted to the land registry information of the home and with that of the Property Registry Office and / or vica - versa. Subsequently, registration should take place in the Property Registry Office and if applicable its registration in the Land Registry Office. The expense license for minor works is also introduced and that only requires a prior simple communication or sworn declaration to the Town Hall in order to begin the works, therefore it is anticipated that this particular process will be speeded up.
