Not a title to build but to use: the certified report of fitness for use (art. 24 of D.P.R. 380/2001) attests that the completed building has the conditions of safety, hygiene, health and energy saving to be used. Since 2016 it is a sworn report, with control coming afterwards.
It is required for new buildings and for works affecting the safety, hygiene, health or energy saving of the building and its systems. It is filed at the one-stop desk with the customary attachments. The rules may be supplemented by regional laws.
Fitness for use closes the circle. All the other titles (permit, SCIA, CILA, free building) authorise building; agibilità certifies that what has been built can be used. It is the threshold between the constructed building and the usable, inhabitable one. Governed by art. 24 of D.P.R. 380/2001.
The existence of the conditions of safety, hygiene, health and energy saving of the building and its systems, assessed under current rules. It comes with the customary documents: structural testing, systems' conformity, the energy performance certificate (EPC) and cadastral registration.
| Requirement | In brief |
|---|---|
| Safety | tested structures, compliant systems |
| Hygiene and health | sanitary conditions of the spaces |
| Energy saving | performance of the building and systems (EPC) |
| Cadastral consistency | update and correspondence to the land registry |
The report is filed at the one-stop desk, as a rule within fifteen days of the end of works, with the sworn statement and the attachments. As with the SCIA, use may begin and the authority's control comes afterwards. Failure to file is sanctioned.
Without fitness for use a building may be finished but not lawfully usable, with effects on marketability and contracts. It is the document that turns a structure into a space one can live or work in: the act that gives meaning to all the titles that preceded it.
No: the other titles authorise the works, agibilità certifies that the result can be used. It closes the cycle.
Since 2016 it is no longer a Municipality certificate: it is a certified report (SCA) sworn by a professional and filed by the interested party, with control afterwards.
As a rule within fifteen days of the end of works, at the one-stop desk, with the attachments (testing, systems' conformity, EPC, cadastral registration).
A fine and, above all, the impossibility of lawfully using the property, with effects on sales, leases and mortgages.
It is required for new buildings and for works affecting safety, hygiene, health or energy saving; not for works that do not touch these requirements.
