Frequently asked questions
How do I count the working days of a deadline?
Legal deadlines are counted in working days from submission, excluding weekends and holidays. Use the calculator above to get the indicative latest submission date for your process and municipality.
Are the fees shown up to date?
Each fee is verified from the municipality's official fee regulation, with the source year shown. Fees can change annually — always confirm the final amount with the Câmara Municipal.
Where do these fees and deadlines come from?
From official municipal sources — fee regulations and applicable law. Each fee table links to its source document; legal deadlines come from each process's rules.
My municipality isn't listed yet — why?
Coverage grows municipality by municipality (308 in scope). If we don't have verified data for yours yet, use 'Request coverage' and we'll prioritise it and let you know when it's ready.
Is this an official source?
No — Foral Simplifica organises public municipal information to help you prepare. The competent authority is always the Câmara Municipal; confirm the final requirements, fees and deadlines with them.
