Law concerning construction within 2 kilometres of

[cindyc]

We are seeing an interesting situation here on Matapalo beach south of Quepos. The municipality is coming in and giving two weeks notice to structures in the maritime zone that do not have a concession and are starting to tear them down. Many houses have been built down there over the past 30 years and it’s causing quite a panic among the people who live there. They will still have the land once it’s over, but some of these houses are significant improvements to the land and people have a lot to lose.

Apparently it is set in stone now. AMCostaRica reports of a decree in todays edition for what you are talking about, Mediatica. There are restrictions on heights for all buildings not just 2km, but 4km inland for the entire northwest coast.

dehaaij: I did read that. Thanks for the update. I am glad to hear that the government is taking action where mass developing is concerned and realizing that it’s everyone’s issue.
