Spanish Community Law
When you own property in Marbella, or anywhere else in Spain, you will acquire certain
obligations -as you do in any country. When it comes to
unravelling the intricacies of the "system", Spain can be
extremely frustrating to foreigners and locals alike.
If you
are a property owner here in Marbella, you will definitely have had - or
will have in the future - personal experience of some of
these problems.
Community Meeting Attendance All owners are required
by Spanish law to become members of an owners community
under the ley de la comunidad. The urbanisation or
community then levies fees, agrees a budget, and appoints an
urbanisation committee which manages the activities of the
community.
Owners can vote to elect this committee, as well as on major
budget issues at an Annual General Meeting.
Sometimes it is not convenient for you to attend such
meetings - in which case you can vote by proxy.
We act for certain owners in attending such meetings,
where they are unable to attend, or cannot understand the
language of the meeting. The only legal requirement of the
language of community meetings is that they should be
conducted at least in Spanish - other languages are optional
and subject to AGM approval
