Submit an exemption from approval for the construction of an installation via the online service or in text form using the published form. Attach the required building documents.

Submit the documents to the responsible municipality. If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these processing obstacles. In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.

The responsible municipality will check your documents. If you do not receive any feedback from the responsible municipality within one month or if it declares in writing beforehand that no approval procedure is to be carried out and that it will not apply for a prohibition in accordance with Section 15 (1) sentence 2 of the Building Code, you may begin construction.
