loteamento
Published 5 November 2026, 23:09
operação de loteamento (dividing land into plots)
Dividing a large piece of land into separate building plots, with roads and utilities. An approved loteamento sets the building lines, height, number of storeys and floor area for each plot — so a house on one of them can then be built on the basis of a notification rather than a licence.
Where you come across it. Adverts for ‘a plot in a ready-made loteamento’; a conversation with an architect about which procedure will apply to you.
The loteamento is entered in the land register, and its conditions are binding on every plot within it. Read them before you buy: they may forbid exactly what you have in mind.
