How to renovate building facades, fencing and shutters

Building facades, perimeter fences and shutters must be maintained in good, clean condition at all times. Facades and shutters must be restored every 10 years and perimeter fences must be restored every 5 years (articles 23 and 109 of Ordinance no. 3.647 of 09 September 1966 concerning urban development, building and road works, amended )

A loan may be granted to owners for this work.
