Homes for sale and homes for rent in Santa Ana, San José, Costa Rica | Newsletters

Permit Applications: Waiting--SETENA--D1--we wait and that will probably be the story until the end of January. I followed up on this with the consultant and he said that all was in order and that we should have this approval on time. 

Construction: The governing governmental body has not met on this so it is still pending.  After their approval, it will have to go the the City.  We wait but are not in a hurry.
