Codificación y permisos accounts for 7 of the 60 scored questions on the reválida de bienes raíces (12 percent). It tests Puerto Rico's permitting system, where construction and use permits are processed through the Oficina de Gerencia de Permisos (OGPe) and the autonomous municipalities, the zoning concepts a salesperson must check before a sale, and the administrative side of Ley 10 de 1994: the exam manual, licence fees and the Fondo Especial that funds the Junta.

Puerto Rico channels construction and use permitting through a government permit system in which the Oficina de Gerencia de Permisos (OGPe) participates alongside the autonomous municipalities, and the exam expects you to name OGPe as that office. Before building, expanding or changing the use of a property, the corresponding permits must be obtained. The permiso de uso is the one the sales questions revolve around: a property must actually be used for the purpose its use permit authorises, and a local operating commercially in a residential zone, contrary to what its permit fixes, can be in violation for using the property for an end different from the authorised one. That is why, when evaluating a property, the buyer should verify that the real use of the property matches the current use permit, a diligence step the exam phrases from the buyer's side. Selling a property that lacks the required permits is not a neutral act either: the materials warn it can create liability for the parties. The zoning vocabulary item to know is the variación: an authorisation to depart from the zoning parameters in a particular case. Learn these as a checklist a vendedor runs before listing: permits exist, use matches permit, and any departure from zoning is covered by a granted variation.
The same topic area carries the administrative numbers of Ley 10 de 1994, and they are pure recall marks. The Junta publishes a manual de información about its exams, and under the fee provisions (Arts. 10 and 17) it is delivered to anyone who requests it and pays ten dollars by comprobante de rentas internas, the Treasury payment voucher, a payment mechanism the exam has used as the distractor-laden half of the question. On the licensing side, the renewal of an empresa de bienes raíces licence costs 500 dollars, the figure the pack tests for the company tier. Finally, Artículo 38 creates a Fondo Especial, and the two facts the exam extracts from it are where and why: the fund is created in the Departamento de Hacienda, and its purpose is to defray the expenses the Junta incurs in implementing the law. Note the trap this sets up with the legal topic: the Junta itself is attached to the Departamento de Estado (Art. 3), but its Fondo Especial lives in Hacienda (Art. 38). Questions that swap those two departments are the classic way this block loses candidates a mark.

Codificación y permisos supplies 7 of the 60 scored questions on the reválida de vendedor, 12 percent of the exam. The questions cover the OGPe permit system, use permits and zoning variations, plus the fee and funding provisions of Ley 10 de 1994.
Construction and use permits are processed through Puerto Rico's government permit system, in which the Oficina de Gerencia de Permisos (OGPe) participates together with the autonomous municipalities. The reválida asks for OGPe by name, so learn the office and its acronym.
A variación is an authorisation to depart from the zoning parameters in a particular case. It is the vocabulary item this topic tests most directly, usually against distractors built from the permiso de uso and the permiso de construcción.
Selling a property that lacks the required permits can create liability for the parties. That is why a buyer, and the vendedor advising one, should verify that the property has its permits and that the actual use matches the current permiso de uso before the transaction.
Ten dollars, paid by comprobante de rentas internas, under the fee provisions of Ley 10 de 1994 (Arts. 10 and 17). The manual de información about the exams is delivered to anyone who requests it and pays that fee. The same fee schedule sets the empresa licence renewal at 500 dollars.
