RDMW – Building Permits

RDMW building permits issued has changed over time. This is the breakdown of the

different types of building permits.

(in $ 000) 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011

Residential 960 1,132 1,816 2,192 1,903 3,010 2,579 3,760 984

Industrial 50 45 329 - 55 612 550 1,822 325

Commercial 67 353 1,354 360 5,062 1,892 1,690 1,482 570

Institutional and Gov’t

17 25 55 86 2,407 13 2,393 - 1,215

Total 1,094 1,555 3,554 2,638 9,427 5,527 7,212 7,064 3,094

Please Note: The rural areas within the RDMW do not require building permits. As such, these numbers

only reflect the development of the municipalities. Also, the spike in permits in 2010 is due to

condominium conversions rather than the creation of new developments.
