@REG. The "substantial fines" can vary but I've sourced some information to give you a general idea. Thanks for your comment and feel free to participate in our forums and ask other members too. The LOUA (“Ley de Ordenación Urbanística de Andalucía” or “Andalucian Urban Zoning Planning Laws”) is a body that ensures that a building project complies with the municipal and provincial laws. The fines set out in Article 184 are 10% of the property value or a minimum of 600€ a month. (Source: El Observador) According to Article 66 of the “Law 7/1994, 18th May of the Environment”, when the amount of the fine is less than the cost of the house, then the fine will be increased to the amount by which the offender has benefited on the construction of his property. (Source: Noticias Jurídicas) In the district of Mijas, according to the ARVM (“Asociación por la Regularización de Viviendas de Mijas” or the “Regulating of Homes in Mijas Association”), the amounts of the fines vary according to the size of the house between 50.000€ and 240.000€ and percentage of the fine has to be paid every 30 days.

For those of you that want to look at an example of what is and what isn’t Protected Rustic land, the Alhaurín El Grande town hall have a map detailling all the land catagories of our village. You will need Adobe Flash Player to view it (normally already installed on your PC but it is free to download if you don’t already have it).
