Permits and Building Rules in Puerto Cancún
In Benito Juárez the building licence goes through the Urban Development office with a DRO-endorsed project. Puerto Cancún and the Hotel Zone add FONATUR sign-off and, on beachfront lots, a ZOFEMAT concession. Gated communities such as Cumbres, Aqua and Lagos also run a design committee with height, façade and working-hours rules.
The lot: what decides your foundation
Limestone with fill areas and a high water table near the Nichupté lagoon. The soil study sets the foundation type and the damp-proofing strategy; on lots near the lagoon, reinforced waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection of the rebar are mandatory.
Puerto Cancún is Cancún’s premium residential zone: marina, golf course and gated phases minutes from downtown and the airport. Because it sits on FONATUR land, the project needs their sign-off on top of the Benito Juárez licence, and lots facing the canal or the sea add a ZOFEMAT concession and a reinforced anti-corrosion spec.
