Habitability certificate
How we obtain your habitability certificate in Mallorca
With us, a habitability certificate (cédula de habitabilidad) in Mallorca costs from €229 for a renewal and from €362 por carencia, including IVA (Spanish VAT) and the Consell's fees. The Consell has a month to issue it. After a new build or a full renovation there is no longer a first-occupation cédula: we apply for the licencia de primera ocupación (first-occupation licence) at the town hall. Send us your cadastral reference for a fixed quote within 24 hours.
The cédula certifies that a home meets the minimum conditions for living in it. It is issued by the Consell de Mallorca and is valid for 10 years. After a new build or a full renovation, the licencia de primera ocupación (first-occupation licence) is requested from the town hall instead of the cédula, and we handle that too. We take care of everything: the visit, the technical certificate, the application and, if the home falls short, the work to bring it up to standard. If you also need an energy certificate in Mallorca, we do it during the same visit.

Greenox prices including IVA and the Consell's fees. Timescales from CertiHabit (in Spanish), “Cómo obtener la cédula de habitabilidad en Mallorca en 2026” (30/06/2026). Other agencies advertise the cédula from €135, IVA included: check whether that covers the visit, the certificate, the fees and fixing anything that falls short. In Palma, a cédula por carencia also needs a council certificate (fee €52.88, takes one month). After a new build or a full renovation there is no longer a first-occupation cédula: it has been replaced by the town hall's licencia de primera ocupación (first-occupation licence) (Ley 7/2024, art. 53), which in Palma carries a fee of €13.28 per home. Updated: October 2026.
Cadastral reference and date
Send us the cadastral reference on WhatsApp (it's on your IBI property tax bill) and the date of your signing. Within 24 hours on working days, you have a fixed price.
Technical visit
Our technical architect measures the home and checks the ventilation, bathroom, kitchen, water and electrics. You don't need to be there.
Repairs, if needed
If anything falls short, we quote you for the repair and our team does it before we apply for the cédula.
Application to the Consell
We submit the certificate and the application to the Consell de Mallorca and follow the file until the cédula is issued.
Cédula in your inbox
We send you the cédula for the notary, the rental contract or getting the electricity and water connected.
What we guarantee
Why get your cédula with Greenox
An agency tells you whether your home passes. We also put it right if it doesn't, with our electrician in Palma de Mallorca or, if more is needed, a flat renovation.
If it falls short, we fix it
Ventilation, extraction, sockets, bathroom or kitchen: the same team that signs the certificate takes care of the work.
Fixed price with fees
What you sign is what you pay: visit, certificate, Consell fees and paperwork, with no extras at the end.
Planned around your date
Tell us when you sign at the notary or when the tenancy starts, and we schedule the visit and the application to fit.
Without being on the island
You leave us the keys or we meet your estate agent, and we keep you informed in Spanish, German or English.
Good to know
What you need the cédula de habitabilidad for
The Balearic Housing Act (Ley 5/2018 de la vivienda de las Illes Balears) requires it in three situations. It's best to have a valid one before you're asked for it, because the process takes weeks.
To live in the home or rent it out
The cédula is compulsory to occupy or rent out a home, except where the licencia de ocupación or de primera utilización (occupancy or first-use licence) takes its place (art. 16.1).
To get electricity and water connected
Electricity, water, gas and telecoms companies have to ask for a valid cédula, or the licencia de primera ocupación (first-occupation licence), before signing a permanent contract (art. 16.3). If you're also asked for the boletín (electrical certificate), we do it.
To sell or rent out
Every sale, rental or transfer of use must include a copy of the valid cédula. If there isn't one, this must be stated expressly in the contract or in the notarial deed (art. 16.4).
Every 10 years
The cédula is valid for 10 years and is then renewed. Ten years after a first-occupation licence, a renewal cédula is also needed. If the home stops meeting the minimum habitability conditions, the cédula is revoked (art. 16.5).
