And Why You Need to Have Everything in Order — Before They Arrive!
When we think of inspections, the first thing that comes to mind is often taxes, fiscalization, or accounting paperwork. However, the municipal inspection doesn’t check your books — it checks what’s visible from the outside. Signs, advertisements, public spaces, noise... all of these can be grounds for fines, even if your paperwork is in perfect order.
Here’s an overview of what a municipal inspector looks for — and how you can stay one step ahead.
WORKING HOURS MUST BE REGISTERED
The first thing the inspector checks is the Decision on Working Hours. It must be certified and aligned with the prescribed form. In addition, the inspector verifies whether you are actually operating within the registered working hours.
ARE YOU COMPLYING WITH NOISE REGULATIONS?
If your business operates in a residential area or involves music, you are required to comply with noise control measures. A complaint from a neighbor can be enough to trigger an on-site inspection.
PUBLIC SPACES AND TEMPORARY STRUCTURES
Are you setting up a stand, kiosk, patio, or any other structure on public property? You must have a permit. The inspector oversees the use of public areas and will intervene immediately if you lack the necessary documentation.
