What is this procedure?

Application for annual or seasonal authorization (winter or summer) for the occupation of the public road with the installation of a terrace.

The person who owns an establishment open to the public for hospitality, restaurant, bar or tasting activities may apply for a municipal terrace license. The establishment must be duly legalized with an establishment open to the public license or with prior notification of activities. The interested person must be the holder of the restaurant license to which the terrace is linked. 

Terrace licenses can be annual, per summer season or per winter season, according to the following calendar:
  • Winter season: from January 1 to April 14 and from October 16 to December 31.
  • Summer season: from April 15 to October 15.
  • Annual season: from January 1 to December 31

The location of the terrace will be limited solely to the space corresponding to the façade of the establishment. A width greater than the façade of the establishment may be authorized with express authorization from the owner of the adjacent property and, where applicable, the adjacent establishment.

In the event that the establishment has never had a terrace permit, a study of the maximum space to be occupied by the terrace must be requested in advance. This study will take into account the impact of the terrace on mobility and accessibility and the special circumstances of the area. In general, the maximum number of modules to be authorized throughout the municipal area for each establishment will not exceed 10. In Plaça de la Vila and Av. de Gallart i Monès, it may not exceed 8 modules for each establishment. 

Who can apply for it?

The owner of the establishment (natural or legal person) or their representative. 

What documentation must be submitted?

  • Declaration by the person responsible that he complies with the requirements established in the Ordinance on the use of public roads with the installation of terraces. 
  • In the event that the terrace is wider than the façade of the establishment, express authorization from the owner of the adjacent property/establishment will also be required. 

How much does it cost?

This procedure is free.

Although the procedure is free, the cost of the license will be determined by Fiscal Ordinance No. 14.
