Key points
- Start with statutes + community before manufacturing.
- Façade changes are the usual trigger for approval.
- We supply technical documentation; we do not replace legal advice.
- Spanish deep guide: permiso comunidad.
Why communities care
Glass curtains and pergolas change how the building looks from outside. Urbanisations in Marbella, Estepona and Málaga often have aesthetic rules. Asking early avoids fabricating a system you cannot install.
A practical sequence for expats
- Read the community statutes and ask the administrator.
- Book a technical survey so dimensions and system type are clear.
- Submit the technical pack the community usually requests.
- Confirm any town-hall notice or licence for your municipality.
- Only then approve manufacturing.
We work in English and Spanish. Start at contact or read glass curtains in Marbella.
Frequently asked questions
Do I always need a licence?
It depends on the municipality and whether the work affects the façade or common elements. Always confirm locally.
Can CostaGlass speak to my community?
We provide drawings and technical descriptions commonly requested. Formal approval remains with the community and authorities.
