Allotment operations are the actions that have as their object or effect the constitution of one or more lots projected immediately or subsequently to
urban construction, and that result from the division of one or more buildings, or their reparcelling (subparagraph i) of Article 2 of the RJUE - Regime jurídico da urbanização e edificação [Legal regime of urbanisation and building] - Decree-Law no. 555/99, of 16 December, as amended by
Decree-Law no. 136/2014, of 9 September).
It is the responsibility of
Turismo de Portugal to
issue a mandatory opinion on allotment operations which contemplate the
installation of tourist developments (Article 21 of RJET - Regime jurídico dos empreendimentos turísticos [Legal regime of tourist establishments] - Decree-Law no. 39/2008, of 7 March, as amended by
Decree-Law no. 80/2017, of 30 June), including those whose classification is the responsibility of the corresponding City Council (Housing Tourism, Country Houses, Agrotourism or Camping and Caravan Parks).
The general rule laid down in Article no. 41 of RJUE does not apply to allotment operations of tourist resorts, where it is established that allotment operations may only take place in areas within the urban perimeter and on land that has already been developed or whose development is programmed in a municipal or intermunicipal land development plan.
In other words, there may be land allotment operations on rural land provided that the tourist use is compatible with the provisions of valid and effective territorial management instruments (Article no. 38 of RJEU).
