Outbuilding
Garage placement rules on a plot
Spain · Auxiliary · usually permanent
A detached garage usually keeps the municipal boundary setback (often ~3 m), though some town halls allow auxiliary buildings right on the boundary — always confirm with the local plan.
Placement rules
A garage is usually treated as an outbuilding; the main planning issues are boundary setback and driveway access.
Setback to boundary
No fixed national figure — often ~3 m; some allow on boundary; check municipality
Setbacks (retranqueos) to boundaries — no fixed national figure; set by municipal PGOU / ordinances, commonly ~3 m
Important limitation
The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
