Baugenehmigung für die Errichtung einer Anlage beantragen

§ Section 65 LBO Building permit procedure

Before you erect an installation that requires approval, you need a building permit.

To do this, you submit a building application to the responsible lower building supervisory authority. You must use the officially prescribed forms or an online service for the building application. The building application includes a number of building documents that are required for the assessment of the project and the processing of the building application. These include, for example, the extract from the cadastral map, site plan, building and usage description and construction drawings.

The building permit is subject to a fee. You can apply for a building permit for the construction of a facility online or in text form using the published form.

• Building application (via online service or official form)
• Extract from the cadastral map
• Site plan
• Construction drawings
• Building description
• Fire protection concept
• Information on the secured development

If they are to be submitted, also for example

• Proof of stability
• Construction drawings
• Declaration by the structural engineer
• Declaration of the neighborhood according to § 71 LBO
• Survey form in accordance with the Building Construction Statistics Act to record the construction measures at the time of approval or consent or at the time at which they may be carried out on the basis of state procedural regulations

Complete building application

Building project in accordance with public law regulations

If not, deviations can be applied for and justified with the building application

Lower building supervisory authority checks whether the deviations can be approved

The building permit is subject to a fee.

Submit the application documents to the responsible lower building supervisory authority.

If necessary, the lower building supervisory authority will ask you to make an advance fee payment.

Make the advance payment by SEPA bank transfer.

If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these obstacles to approval.

In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.

The lower building supervisory authority will review your application and involve the municipality and those bodies whose involvement or consultation is required for the decision on the building application or without whose opinion the approvability of the building application cannot be assessed.

No application deadlines

No approval period in the building permit procedure according to § 65 LBO.

Start of construction within three years of building permit being granted

Building permit can be extended by up to one year within this period upon application

A complete building application is essential for the procedure to run smoothly. If a building is to be erected or a change is to be made to a building, you will need a design drafter who is authorized to submit building documents. If you are modifying or constructing a structure that is not a building, you do not require a building permit. In the case of a pure change of use without a structural change, a design author can be dispensed with entirely. The author of the design, who is authorized to submit building plans, is usually an architect or a civil engineer. If there are any doubts as to whether the building project can be approved in principle, you can have these clarified at an early stage with a preliminary building permit. However, this only answers individual questions and does not replace the required building permit.

Your building application may be rejected if the documents are not complete after several subsequent requests.

Advice outside of ongoing approval procedures is subject to a fee

Combustion systems may only be put into operation after the authorized chimney sweep has certified that the flue gas system is safe to use and that the flue gases are properly discharged.

Before you erect an installation that requires approval, you need a building permit. To do this, you submit a building application to the responsible lower building supervisory authority.
