In accordance with Article 22(2) of Decree-Law No 163/2006 of 8 August 2006, as amended, municipal councils must send an annual report to the Instituto Nacional para a Reabilitação, I.P. (National Institute for Rehabilitation, I.P.) by 30 March of each year on the situation as at 31 December of the previous year, based on the information collected during inspections carried out by the municipality on properties belonging to private individuals during the previous year, as part of the verification of compliance with the technical accessibility standards approved by that Decree-Law.

To this end, we would inform you that the form ‘Inquiry of Municipalities 2024’ – developed by this Institute to facilitate the responses of municipalities, ensuring greater harmonisation and consistency of the information made available and, consequently, better treatment and integration of the information received in the overall assessment that we are responsible for preparing – has been available for completion since 2 January and until the deadline of 31 March. HERE.

It should be noted that questionnaires submitted after that date, or documents that reach us by other means than filling in the form referred to above, will not be part of the Assessment Report of the Degree of Accessibility 2024, to be produced by this Institute.

If you wish to know all the questions in this questionnaire in advance, the respective PDF file can be downloaded HERE. We draw your attention, however, that some questions are conditional to the answers that precede them, so they may not appear during the effective completion of the questionnaire.
