  • Brief description

    You generally need a building permit to erect, modify or change the use of a facility. Only in exceptional cases is planning permission not required.

  • Description

    A building permit grants you the right to construct, modify or change the use of a facility for projects that require approval. It is a state declaration that the project does not conflict with public law, which must be examined in the building inspection procedure. However, this only applies at the time of the decision.

    Projects not requiring approval

    A project is not subject to approval if it is exempt from the approval process or is exempt from approval. Projects that are exempt from the approval process are those that have minimal relevance under building code regulations. Projects may be exempt from approval if, in particular, they are not special structures and comply with a qualified zoning plan. However, this depends on the municipality. If the municipality requires that an approval process be carried out, the construction project is not exempt from approval.

    If the project does not require approval, you do not need to apply for planning permission. You would not be granted such a permit.

    Consequences of not having the required building permit

    If you erect or modify a facility or change its use without the required building permit, the responsible lower building supervisory authority can intervene and take appropriate measures. This can go as far as ordering the removal of the facility.

  • Costs

    The fees for a building permit amount to between 1 per thousand and 4 per thousand of the building costs, depending on the type of building project and the type of approval procedure. You must also pay fees if your building application is rejected or withdrawn. In this case, however, the fees are reduced.

    If planning permission is granted for a change of use of structural facilities, the fee is between EUR 40 and EUR 5,000, depending on the administrative costs incurred.

  • Legal basis

  • Legal remedy

    If you do not receive the building permit you applied for, you can file an administrative appeal. This must be aimed at obtaining the requested building permit.

    An objection is not possible.

  • Procedure

    Written submission

    First of all, please note that in the case of building applications for the construction and alteration of buildings, the building documents must be prepared by an authorized draftsman (architect, civil engineer; for smaller construction projects, especially detached and semi-detached houses, also master craftsmen in the building and carpentry trades and state-certified technicians in the field of construction engineering).

    • 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.
    • Then submit the building application with the required documents to the responsible lower building supervisory authority (district offices, independent cities, large district towns and certain larger municipalities).
    • Submit the building application in triplicate using the forms provided. If the lower building supervisory authority is also the municipality, two copies are sufficient.
    • An oral application is not possible.
    • The application must be signed by the client and the authorized designer.
    • 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 building application or without whose opinion the approvability of the building application cannot be assessed (e.g. the lower immission control authority, the lower water authority or the road traffic authority).

    Digital submission

    Digital submission of building applications is not yet possible throughout Bavaria. When selecting a location, the link to the online procedure will be displayed if it is already available.

    • After involving the neighbors, the building 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 of the client and the authorized designer are replaced by authentication using the "BayernID" or "My company account" user account.
    • In particular, the (large-format) construction drawings do not need to be signed. They can therefore be generated as a file directly in the CAD system of the design author.
    • In the case of building applications for which the building documents must be prepared by an authorized draftsman, the latter must authenticate himself and submit the building application on behalf of the client.

  • Notes

    Under no circumstances should you start work on a project that requires approval without having applied for and obtained the necessary building permit.

  • Processing time

    The processing time depends on the scope and complexity of the application, the number of agencies involved and the current workload of the authority.
