  • Performance specification

    The simplified procedure applies to all building projects that are not special buildings, do not require planning permission and are not subject to an exemption from authorisation.

    In the case of building projects that are subject to authorisation exemption, the municipality can declare that a simplified building permit procedure should be carried out. In the case of exemptions, the lower building supervisory authority. The client can also request that the simplified building authorisation procedure be carried out.

    In contrast to the full procedure, the scope of review by the building supervisory authority is significantly reduced in the simplified building permit procedure.

    The subject of the audit is

    • the compatibility of the project with building planning law
    • Deviations, exceptions or exemptions applied for
    • Other provisions of public law insofar as a decision according to these provisions is omitted or replaced due to the building permit.

    The building owner is responsible for ensuring that public-law regulations that are not examined in the simplified building permit procedure are also complied with. In individual cases, a deviation, exception or exemption from public-law regulations that are not to be examined must be applied for additionally. In the event of a violation of these regulations, the building permit authority may stop the construction or demolish what has already been built.
