ficha técnica da habitação

Published 5 November 2026, 06:07
ficha técnica da habitação (technical record of the home)

A document for a new building recording who built it, what it was built from, which materials and equipment were used, and who signed off the plans. It is kept at the câmara, and you can request it there.

Where you come across it. Buying a new-build or a recently built house; finding out what was done to the house and how.
Since 2024, the seller no longer has to present this record when selling — nor the occupancy permit. If you want to see it, ask for it yourself before the deal.
