“Abitabilità” (habitability) for properties in Italy is determined through the issuance of a “Certificato di Abitabilità” or “Certificato di Agibilità,” which is a certificate confirming that a residential property complies with health, safety, hygiene, and building regulations. 1, 2, 3, 4

This certificate is issued by the local municipality after verification that the building and its systems meet legal standards for:

  • Safety and structural integrity, including earthquake resistance
  • Hygiene and health conditions
  • Compliance with building codes and regulations
  • Energy efficiency

The process to obtain this certificate typically involves:

  • Notification by a qualified architect, engineer, or surveyor who certifies that the construction or renovation complies with all legal requirements.
  • Submission of a self-certification document (Segnalazione Certificata di Agibilità - SCA) within 15 days of completing construction or renovation.
  • The municipality may inspect the property within a legal timeframe (up to 180 days) to verify compliance.
  • The certificate is legally required for new constructions, reconstructions, additions, or renovations that affect safety or hygiene.
  • It is mandatory for property sales and rental agreements; lack of the certificate may allow buyers or tenants to annul contracts or demand compensation.

The certificate confirms the property is legally fit for habitation and may additionally be required to connect utilities (water, gas, electricity) or to obtain licenses for use such as bed and breakfasts. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1

In summary, “abitabilità” is determined by official verification and certification by municipal authorities upon technical certification from qualified professionals ensuring the property meets health, safety, building, and energy standards required by Italian law. This certificate is essential for legal habitation, property transactions, and certain utility connections. 4, 5, 6, 2
