Licensed Honduran Architect
A licensed Honduran architect must stamp your architectural plans.
Licensed Roatan Contractor
A contractor licensed in
Roatan must sign as your contractor. There is an east district
and there is a west district. Make sure the builder is licensed
to work in the district where you are building.
Roatan Building Permit
Building permits are required
for new construction. The fee is currently 1% of the estimated
house value. Additional costs include buying government stamps
for official documents (a way of taxing those who require Honduran
government paperwork).
Environmental Impact Assessment
Your building project must
meet environmental requirements. An inspector will evaluate
the building site for impact on the environment. Mangrove trees,
beaches, and the reef are protected by building codes.
