What to watch when building in Bonaire
Complete, or not processed
The Spatial Development department does not process incomplete applications. A complete set prevents that.
Allow for months
The Public Entity aims to decide within 16 weeks. An application that comes back starts again.
Salty sea air
Enough concrete cover on the steel and rust-proof details fight corrosion.
Sun and trade winds
Windows and veranda facing the breeze keep the house cool.
What you need for the permit
- Proof of ownership or long lease of your plot
