When you come home tonight, you notice a sign posted on your neighbors' fence.

It is indicated that a building permit has been granted.

The first thing to do is to request a copy of the building permit file from the town hall.

This will allow you to know the exact project that has been authorized.

If this project does not suit you and you wish to contest it, it is imperative to make an appointment quickly with the firm.

An audit of the building permit will be carried out to ensure that it complies with all the rules of town planning law. It takes an average of 4 hours of work (depending on the size of the project).

If you wish to contest the building permit, an appeal will be sent to the town hall. This appeal must be sent within a maximum of two months from the first day the building permit is displayed at your neighbors' premises.

This appeal must be justified and a copy must be sent to your neighbor within 15 days.

If the town hall refuses to withdraw the building permit or if it does not respond, the firm will suggest that you refer the matter to the Administrative Court to continue the procedure and have the building permit cancelled.
