Spanish term or phrase: Factibilidad Municipal
I'm translating an email from an employee of an American company in Argentina - he's complaining about a real estate deal done by his boss... I need a good translation for "Factibilidad Municipal" in this context:

"La compra del inmueble fué autorizada por el director sin contar con la factibilidad municipal"

thanks!

Another option for "municipal" could be LOCAL FEASIBILITY STUDY".

Really need a bit more context as to where this real estate is - a city / town / village??

municipal approval


Explanation:
