Yeah town hall stuff is pretty bad in Spain. Obviously its somewhat dependent on what you're doing (i.e. just buying a flat might not be so bad since you'll be relatively limited in the changes you might want to make to the property), but it is pretty easy for a local to denounce you to the council at which point any permissions you might have been granted will magically disappear.
This happened to my Aunt & Uncle, who were pretty careful to get everything lined up and in order officially, as another Uncle had warned them how bad it could be. Even after getting everything done through official channels the moment a local decided they didn't like the plans it all got shut down
