Short answers to the questions MTC receives most.
Opened a CNPJ (company tax ID)? Free license guideWhat your business needs to operate, with a printable checklist and PDF (in Portuguese).Not necessarily. It depends on the building, its location, its use, the legislation, the built areas, the setbacks, and the documentation available. That is why each property is reviewed before any proposal.
They vary by service. The most common are:
- Full address of the property
- IPTU or municipal registration
- Property record (matrícula) or deed
- Floor plans, permits, and previous licenses
- Fines, notices, or requirements received
- Photos of the property
After understanding the case, the team tells you which documents will actually be needed.
The timeline mainly depends on:
- Number of services and size of the property
- Available documentation
- Visits, surveys, or designs needed
- Requirements issued during the process
- Review time at City Hall, the Fire Department, CETESB, or the registry office
After the initial review, MTC gives an estimate for the steps that depend on it.
Yes. Send the notice, communication, or requirement you received. The team checks:
