Country-specific detail
In Spain, mini-split installation in a single-family home typically requires a comunicación previa or declaración responsable to the local Ayuntamiento. In apartment buildings (comunidad de propietarios), mounting an outdoor unit on the facade usually needs junta approval plus the municipal filing. Some municipalities in historic zones (casco antiguo) require the outdoor unit to be concealed behind a grille or placed on the rooftop.
