Baugenehmigung für die Änderung einer Anlage im vereinfachten Verfahren beantragen

If you would like to apply for planning permission for structural alterations to facilities, you can do so under certain conditions using the simplified procedure.

If you, as a building owner, want to change structural installations, you need a building permit.

An alteration to a building is a change that alters the appearance or structure of a building or other structure in such a way that it no longer corresponds to its previous state. In comparison, this change represents a significant redesign of the facility. It can be both structural and design-related.

The change is only examined in the simplified approval procedure if the following matches apply:

• Regulations on the permissibility of the building structures under building planning law
• Deviations applied for
• other requirements under public law, insofar as the building permit eliminates or replaces a decision under other public law regulations or the decision is assigned to the lower building supervisory authority by specialist law

Compliance with the requirements for stability, fire, noise, heat and vibration protection must be verified by means of structural engineering certificates. These must be available at the start of construction, checked by the building authorities if necessary.

As the client, you therefore bear a great deal of responsibility. The restriction of the building authority inspection does not release you from the obligation to comply with the requirements placed on systems by public law regulations. Otherwise, a building stop may be ordered or the new use may be prohibited.

• Extract from the real estate map
• Site plan
• Construction drawings
• Building description

Depending on the purpose of the building project, you can or must submit further building documents. These are, for example

• Proof of stability
• Proof of fire protection
• Other structural engineering certificates
• Information on the secured development with regard to the supply of water and energy as well as the disposal of waste water and traffic development
• Calculation of the permitted, existing and planned extent of building use
• Description of operations
• Information on the implementation of accessibility
• Parking spaces
• Statistical survey form

Required for advertising facilities:

• Extract from the real estate map at a scale no smaller than 1:500 with an indication of the location
• Drawing at a scale no smaller than 1:50 and description or other suitable representation of the advertising installation, such as a colored photograph or a colored photo montage
• Proof of stability, insofar as it has been checked by the building authorities, otherwise the declaration of the installer of the structural proofs

• Your building project complies with public law regulations.
• If not, you can apply for and justify deviations with the building application.
• As a rule, you must commission an authorized draftsman - for example, a civil engineer or an architect.

Variable administration fees are incurred in accordance with the building fee tariff.

You can apply for a building permit for the construction of an installation electronically via the online service or in writing on paper using the form.

Proceed as follows when using the form:

• Complete the form.
• Attach the required building documents.
• Submit the application documents to the responsible lower building supervisory authority.
• If necessary, the lower building supervisory authority will ask you to pay the fees in advance.
• Make the advance payment.
• If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these.
• 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 relevant authorities whose participation or consultation is required.
• You will then receive the building permit and a notification of fees.
• You pay the fees.

The deadline for the decision begins 3 weeks after receipt of the building application or 3 weeks after receipt of the requested documents if the building supervisory authority has sent a request before the start of the deadline.

You must start construction work within 3 years of receiving planning permission.

• You may then interrupt the construction work for a maximum of 3 years.
• In cases where construction work has started within 3 years, you can have the building permit extended for 3 years.

The following information is available:

• Before a building application is submitted, you can apply for a preliminary decision on individual questions relating to the building project, for example whether the planned building project is permitted under building planning law at this location.
• It should be noted that the construction, modification or change of use of a building without the required building permit constitutes an administrative offense and can be punished with a fine. There is also the risk that a building project that is not eligible for planning permission but has been started may have to be completely or partially removed.
• If you have a building permit, you must submit a notification of commencement of construction to the lower building supervisory authority at least 1 week before the start of the change.

• Objection
• Complaint

• Modification of installations Approval in the simplified procedure
• The simplified procedure is less extensive than the regular procedure.
• It is used if the building project is subject to approval but does not include any special buildings, unless it involves installations for the generation of renewable energies and the special buildings are subject to the Renewable Energies Directive.
• Responsible authority: Lower building supervisory authority of the district or independent city or lower building supervisory authority of the city or municipality to which the task has been assigned

Lower building supervisory authority:

• of the district or independent city
• of the municipalities (if the tasks of the lower building supervisory authority have been transferred)
