Construction measures in public transport areas

Anyone who digs up the ground on public paths, roads or squares, stores or sets up anything, blocks off areas or lays pipes requires a permit.

Apply for house number allocation

In the event of structural changes, house numbers are assigned ex officio. Additional house numbers can be issued or existing properties renumbered on request.

Preservation statutes - authorisation of construction measures

You need a permit for structural alterations, changes of use or the demolition of living space in a conservation area.

Acceptance of temporary structures

Temporary structures must obtain a construction licence before being erected for the first time. As a rule, the installation must be notified at least one week in advance.

Special use of urban public green spaces

Anyone wishing to set up a construction site in a public green space or drive on the green space requires a special permit.
