Building project; application for a preliminary permit
Brief description
You can have certain questions regarding the permissibility of your project clarified by means of a preliminary decision before submitting a building application. This has a binding effect on the subsequent planning permission procedure.
Description
You can apply for a preliminary decision on individual issues relating to your building project. You must submit this application before applying for planning permission. The subject of a preliminary decision can only be what is also the subject of the subsequent planning permission procedure.
The preliminary decision is an anticipated part of the building permit itself. In the subsequent decision on the building permit, the lower building supervisory authority is bound by the preliminary decision insofar as it contains a regulation on the project.

Prerequisites
The requested preliminary decision will only be granted if your project requires approval. Furthermore, the project must not conflict with any regulations under public law.

Deadlines
There are no deadlines to be observed.
The preliminary decision is valid for four years if it is not limited to a shorter period. The period can be extended by up to four years in each case if the client applies for this in writing before the period of validity of the preliminary decision expires.

Would you like to invest in renewable energies? - The procedural handbook is intended to make it easier for project developers and citizens to understand the procedures. The presentation relates to immission control, water law and building law procedures. The procedural handbook is intended as an aid and should provide orientation on important procedural aspects.

Procedure
Written submission
- If necessary, contact the municipality in whose area the building plot is located before submitting your application if you have any questions about the permissibility of your project.
- Involve your neighbors by submitting the site plan and the construction drawings for their approval. Any consent must be given in writing. The building supervisory authority can (exceptionally) waive the neighbor participation requirement for applications for a preliminary decision if you request this.
- Then submit the application for preliminary approval with the required documents to the responsible lower building supervisory authority (district offices, independent cities, large district towns and certain larger municipalities).
- Submit the application in triplicate using the forms provided. If the lower building supervisory authority is also the municipality, two copies are sufficient.
- The application must be made in writing; a verbal application is not possible.
- The lower building supervisory authority examines the application and decides on it.
- If the lower building supervisory authority is not itself a municipality, it shall involve the municipality in the decision on the municipal consent.
- Before making a decision, the lower building supervisory authority must involve the authorities whose involvement or consultation is required by law for the decision on the application for a preliminary decision or without whose opinion the approvability of the building application cannot be assessed (e.g. the lower immission control authority, the lower water rights authority or the road traffic authority). In the case of applications for a preliminary decision, this depends on the question posed.
Digital submission
Digital submission of applications for preliminary decisions is not yet possible throughout Bavaria. When selecting a location, the link to the online procedure is displayed if it is already offered.
- After involving the neighbors, the application can be submitted digitally using the online assistant.
- The predefined building application and building description forms are replaced by the queries in the online assistant.
- The building documents are uploaded to the online assistant in electronic form (files in PDF format).
- The signatures are replaced by authentication using the "BayernID" user account or "My company account".
