Likewise, constructions intended for housing, including complementary constructions intended for carports, roofs, garages, barbecues, storage, sheds, or other uses, provided they do not exceed a total area to be regularized of up to 120 m2 (buildings that already have a final occupancy permit will not be taken into account), shall be exempt, in addition to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, from the payment of building fees corresponding to the Construction Permit. Such dwellings must have existed prior to the effective date of this regulation. This period of six (6) months may be extended for an equal period." Deadline set by resolution of the Mayor.
