Planning & Permitting


In the majority of cases, the procedures remain simple and quick.

 

 

What you need to know before installing your Velora home

 

 

Installing a Velora home depends on the urban planning rules specific to your municipality.

These rules vary from one plot of land to another, which is why each project is a little different.

The aim here is simply to give you a clear overview of the procedures to expect.

 

 

Building permit or prior declaration?

 

 

Depending on the surface area of your project, the procedures will not be the same:

  • Less than 20 m² → prior declaration

  • Between 20 and 40 m² → depends on the zone

  • More than 40 m² → building permit

 

To note:

  • In urban areas, certain rules may change

  • The type of project (main residence, annex, rental…) can also play a role

 

 

Specifics of Velora homes

Velora homes are not always considered traditional constructions.

Depending on their configuration, they can be seen as:

  • a light habitat

  • a demountable structure

  • or a non-permanent installation

In some cases, this can simplify the procedures.

But as always, everything depends on:

  • the land

  • the municipality

  • and the intended use

In some cases, this can simplify administrative procedures.

For example, some light habitats may be subject to more flexible or different rules depending on their surface area and location.


In all cases, the simplest way is to check directly with your town hall,
who can quickly confirm what is allowed on your land.
