Vigo opens the application period for the VIVEVIGO program to mobilize vacant housing

The Municipal Urban Planning Management of the City Council of Vigo has opened the period for homeowners to submit their application for participation in the I Municipal Program for the Mobilization of Empty Homes, the municipal housing bank called VIVEVIGO. The call is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra (BOPPO) number 214, Thursday, November 5, 2026, in the Local Administration section, and derives from the resolution issued on October 13, 2026, by the Delegated Department of Urban Planning and Housing of the City Council of Vigo, processed under file 2275/433.

The announcement limits its action to interested homeowners of properties located within the municipal district of Vigo. The call refers to the regulatory bases already approved and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra on September 24, 2026, such that the process now open is the procedural step that activates the effective submission of candidacies by the property owners.

A period of more than two years linked to available credit

The calendar established by the resolution is one of the central elements of the call. The application submission period is governed by the following rules:

• It begins the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Pontevedra, that is, starting from November 6, 2026.
• It will extend until November 22, 2027.
• It may close before that date if the budgetary credit allocated for the program is exhausted.

This double condition —deadline or exhaustion of credit— implies that the order of entry of the applications may be decisive, as the call may be considered concluded before the maximum planned period if the available economic allocation is consumed.

Urban Planning Management Registry and electronic means

The place of submission is the registry of the Municipal Urban Planning Management of the City Council of Vigo. The call allows for electronic submission as well as in-person submission, the latter being reserved for natural persons. The processing must be done in accordance with the bases of September 24, 2026, and the form enabled by the City Council of Vigo at the housing information point.

The enabled information and support channels are:

• The municipal housing page, at the address hoxe.vigo.org/movemonos/urb_mob_viv_baleiras.php, where the form is published.
• The telephone 986810350 and the municipal number 010.

Signature of the call and document verification

The resolution bears the signature of the delegated councilwoman for Urban Planning and Housing, María José Caride Estévez, acting by delegation of the president since July 4, 2023, and is dated in Vigo on November 2, 2026. The announcement is incorporated into the BOPPO with the secure verification code S97ZB2VFUQS3VDMH, which allows for the verification of the integrity of the document on the electronic headquarters of the Provincial Council of Pontevedra.

The published text does not detail the amount of the program’s budget allocation nor the maximum number of homes that can be incorporated into the municipal bank, details which refer to the bases published on September 24, 2026, and to the information from the municipal housing office.

The launch of VIVEVIGO directly affects two groups: the owners of empty apartments in the city council, who now have a formal framework to incorporate them into the program, and people looking for housing in Vigo, for whom the mobilization of this real estate stock may expand the available offer. The practical interest for owners lies in the fact that the deadline is already counting from the day following publication and that the call may close early due to the exhaustion of credit, meaning any application submitted after that event would be excluded.
