General guidance

General rules: Public premises (shop) licences (Law 154/2019)

These are the rules for this kind of request as stated in the law and in official and published sources — not a replacement for the district’s catalogue entry above. Details can differ for your request; check with the district before you apply.

Conditions

  • Premises in unlicensed buildings receive temporary licences ending at the end of 2027, under Article 3 of the Public Premises Law.
  • A public premises licence may be cancelled if the premises are removed or moved, or if the licensed activity is changed without a licence (Art. 25).
