The Petrer municipal council has taken steps to expand affordable housing and residential development within the town. In July 2026, the council approved the reclassification of a vacant parcel in the Plaza de las Almas from a green zone to land eligible for public or protected housing. This project aims to provide approximately six affordable homes while potentially reserving ground-floor space for public services.

Following this, in August 2026, the council provisionally approved a modification to the Municipal Building Police Ordinance. This amendment introduces specific conditions for converting existing buildings into residential spaces, entering a 30-day period for public review and potential claims.
