Permits & Risks

Understanding the permits and risks associated with property development in Montezuma is crucial. At MONTEZUMAGOLDENMOUNTAIN.COM, we prioritize transparency and provide essential information to guide your investment decisions. This page outlines key considerations for land use, infrastructure, and environmental compliance, ensuring a smooth and secure development process.

Land use & regulations

Navigating land use regulations is paramount. Our properties come with issued permits that include crucial subdivision and urbanization parameters, along with stream and well protection zones. Key considerations include:

  • Land Use: Issued permits encompass subdivision/urbanization parameters and stream/well protection zones.
  • Public Road/Rights-of-Way: The Municipality suggests updating the survey concerning public road alignment.

Understanding these aspects is essential for compliant and sustainable development.

Utilities & environmental considerations

Securing utilities and adhering to environmental regulations are vital for any project. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Electricity: An ICE (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad) letter confirms availability. Extensions and transformer requirements depend on specific project specifications.
  • Water: Confirmation is needed via AyA (Acueductos y Alcantarillados) / ASADA (Administraciones de Sistemas de Acueductos y Alcantarillados Rurales), or through a registered well (MINAE - Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía).
  • Environmental (SETENA): Projects exceeding 500 m² of construction require SETENA approval. It's crucial to respect setbacks and protected strips.

Proper planning ensures environmental responsibility and access to essential services.

Immediate actions for due diligence

To expedite buyer due diligence and ensure a smooth transaction, we recommend the following immediate actions:

  1. Hire a Surveyor: Update the property map to reflect current conditions and municipal requirements.
  2. Pre-Consultations: Engage with the Municipality, ASADA, and ICE to address potential issues proactively.

Taking these steps upfront can save time and resources in the long run.
