What this document is

“Sol·licitud per cèdula d’habitabilitat de Segona Ocupació” is the application to the Agència de l’Habitatge de Catalunya for a cèdula d’habitabilitat for an existing dwelling (procedure 4712). The cèdula certifies that a flat or house is fit to live in; it is usually requested when selling, renting out or connecting utilities.

The form is in Catalan and has two pages: the first is the application itself, the second is the habitability certificate that a technician fills in and signs after inspecting the dwelling. FoxDocs fills in the first page.

Who applies and where

  • the owner of the dwelling, a property manager or an authorised representative;
  • on paper — private individuals only; companies, professionals and the self-employed must apply online;
  • in person (an appointment is recommended): in Barcelona city at the Consorci de l’Habitatge de Barcelona, elsewhere at local housing offices that handle cèdulas or at the Agency’s offices;
  • the fee for a paper application is €20.90 per dwelling (online €14.65, a 30% discount);
  • there must be no valid cèdula for the dwelling: otherwise the application is filed away and the fee is not refunded.

What the form asks

  • applicant: NIF/NIE or other document, full name, address for notifications, phones, e-mail;
  • in what capacity you apply (owner or other) and how to receive the cèdula — in person or by post;
  • owner of the dwelling: document, name, current address;
  • who will give access for an inspection and their phone; place and date; the office you submit to.

What to bring

  • the habitability certificate (certificat d’habitabilitat) signed by an architect, technical architect (aparellador) or building engineer, with the registration number of their professional association;
  • the number of the previous cèdula, if any; the subsidised-housing file number, if the dwelling is classified as such;
  • if there has never been a cèdula — proof of the age of the dwelling (informe d’antiguitat or declaració responsable);
  • the form itself states that the certificate must not be older than 12 months.

How to fill it in with FoxDocs

  2. The assistant ticks the right boxes and splits the addresses into the form’s cells.
  3. Download the PDF, check it, print, sign and submit it together with the technician’s certificate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a second-occupancy cèdula cost?

On paper €20.90 per dwelling, online €14.65. Owners handing the dwelling to a bank in lieu of payment (dació en pagament) are exempt.

How long does the decision take?

The Agency states 30 working days from the date the complete application reaches the register. The period is suspended if additional documents are requested.

How long is the cèdula valid?

15 years. A dwelling cannot have two valid cèdulas at the same time.

Who carries out the inspection?

A technician — an architect, technical architect (aparellador) or building engineer. They inspect the dwelling and sign the habitability certificate, which you attach to the application.

Can a company submit the paper form?

No. Companies, professionals and the self-employed must apply online; the paper form is for private individuals only.

How do I pay the fee for a paper application?

With a payment letter (carta de pagament) at a CaixaBank cash machine or on the CaixaBank website — it is valid for 7 calendar days — or by card at the Agency’s offices.

What if the dwelling has been altered?

If the changes are essential and alter the description of the dwelling, you need a first-occupancy cèdula after refurbishment instead of this one.
