Show construction measures not requiring a procedure

Certain building projects can be carried out without a procedure, i.e. without planning permission. However, you must notify the building supervisory authority before starting.

Course description

All construction projects that can be carried out without a procedure are listed exhaustively in Article 57 of the Bavarian Building Code (BayBO). The following construction measures that do not require a procedure must be notified two weeks prior to commencement:

  • Repair work(Article 57 Paragraph 3 Sentence 4 BayBO)
  • Loft conversions for residential purposes, including the erection of dormers, if the roof structure and the external appearance of the building are not otherwise changed (Article 57 Paragraph 7 BayBO)
  • Changes of use in accordance with Article 57 Paragraph 4 Number 1 BayBO (Article 57 Paragraph 7 BayBO)

Notifications must be submitted to the local building commission.
If you are not sure whether your project is exempt from the procedure, please contact the Service Centre of the Local Building Commission.
