Your licence has been refused: appeal or fresh application

Your licence has been refused: appeal or fresh application is filed with Ayuntamiento del local. With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your recurso (appeal) for you. Estimated total cost: from €590. Official tasa (government fee): The appeal carries NO tasa (official fee). If the Ayuntamiento refuses you for TECHNICAL shortcomings in the project, it has to be corrected, and that corrective report or project costs 400 to 2.000 euros: it is signed by a chartered technician and either you supply it or we arrange it for you. If the case has to go to court, there is no court fee in that jurisdiction and a procurador (court representative) is optional before the court.

The Ayuntamiento (Town/City Hall) has refused your licence, or has gone months without replying. We tell you the truth up front: for an activity licence, silence means REFUSAL, so a licence is never won by staying quiet and waiting gets you nowhere. We study what the refusal is based on and act: if the reason is legal, we appeal for you; and if it is technical (the project falls short), we correct it and file again.

Recurso (administrative appeal)

Cost breakdown: Our fee 590 euros for the appeal. No tasa. If the refusal is technical, the corrective project (400 to 2.000 euros) is charged separately and we tell you beforehand: your architect can supply it or we can arrange it for you..

Your licence has been refused: appeal or fresh application: how is it filed?

  1. 1First things first: you tell us why you are being refused. Everything follows from that.
  2. 2If the reason is legal, we do the whole appeal ourselves, with no architect involved, and it is signed by a qualified lawyer at our firm.
  3. 3If you are refused because of the technical project, it has to be corrected: your architect can supply it or we can arrange it for you, with a fixed quote before we start.
  4. 4Payment of 590 euros for the appeal. We also tell you whether you are better off appealing or filing a fresh, corrected application.

Which documents do you need?

  • •The complete refusal decision, or proof that you filed the application and received no reply.
  • •The licence application you filed and the documentation that went with it.
  • •The technical project, if the refusal is based on it.

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

  • THE MYTH TO KILL IN THE FIRST SENTENCE: for an activity licence, silence means REFUSAL. It is not true that if the Ayuntamiento does not reply within three months the licence is yours. Waiting does not give it to you, it takes it away.
  • TWO BRANCHES, AND THEY MUST BE SEPARATED. (a) LEGAL refusal (use, disproportionate requirement, misapplication of the rules, silence): we handle the appeal on our own, with no technician. (b) TECHNICAL refusal (the project falls short): the project has to be corrected, and that is signed by a chartered technician. The client is told BEFORE being charged.
  • THE CORRECTIVE PROJECT IS COMPULSORY, NOT OPTIONAL. What is optional is who signs it: the client supplies it or we arrange it. The client is never sent off to find someone on their own.
  • SOMETIMES APPEALING IS NOT THE RIGHT MOVE: if the defect can be cured, filing again properly often opens the doors sooner than fighting the decision. The client must be told this even if the appeal earns us a bigger fee.
  • It chains with certificado_silencio_administrativo (to document the silence) and with reclamacion_unidad_mercado_operador (if the requirement is disproportionate). It does not duplicate them.
  • Verified legal framework: Ley 39/2015 arts. 24.1 para. 2, 24.4, 123 and 124; TRLSRU (RDLeg 7/2015) art. 11.3 and 11.4.b; LJCA arts. 25.1, 29 and 46.1.
