Before you can change the use of a project that does not require a permit, you need a permit exemption.

Before you can change the use of a project that does not require planning permission, you need an exemption from planning permission. This means that you do not need planning permission, but must submit verifiable documents to the local authority (e.g. for a detached house in a B-plan area).

In the case of a change of use, you do not make any structural changes (e.g. conversion of a residential building into office space).

• Form for approval exemption procedure (digital or written)
• Extract from the official real estate register
• Site plan
• Construction drawings
• Building description
• Calculation of the permitted, existing and planned extent of building use
  

• Building project complies with public law regulations

You do not need permission for your building project if

• it is located in a development area whose development plan has been approved,
• it does not contradict the provisions of the development plan,
• the development is secured and
• the municipality does not request a simplified building permit procedure within the statutory period or apply for a temporary prohibition.

If you want exceptions and exemptions from the provisions of the development plan, you must apply for these separately before submitting the permit exemption.
