The government has cut red tape with the inauguration of a new web site www.tramitesconstruccion.go.cr
20 permits or steps are unified online with the web site that was launched yesterday. The portal has information that will allow builders to skip a visit to 20 institutions to file forms or get data over their proposed projects.

Isabel Cristina Araya, director of the Office of Regulatory Improvement de Mejora and Technical Administration in the MInistry of Economy estimates that the portal reduces the time required to obtain a permit for a development from 122 to 21 days.

The portal contains forms required by the Health Ministry and AyA. Also there are different maps of the counties, where developers can see elements such as power lines, sewers, zoning plans,  and high risk areas.
The launch is the first step in a digitalization plan that will allow plans and construction permits to be filed and approved electronically.  Plans are to have the process ready next year, by March architects and engineers are supposed to be able to file plans electronically.   The third phase is to incorporate municipal governments into the process so that they may approve the plans digitally.
