Building permit / building application
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe construction, modification, change of use and demolition of structural installations (e.g. buildings) require planning permission. However, this only applies if the Rhineland-Palatinate state building regulations do not stipulate otherwise, such as in the catalog of projects that do not require a building permit, in the exemption procedure and projects that are not subject to building supervision.
A building permit must be granted if the project does not conflict with any building or other public law regulations. The application for a building permit (building application) must be submitted to the municipal administration or the association municipal administration.
Which building documents must be submitted with the building application is determined in particular by the state ordinance on building documents and the building inspection. The building application and the building documents must be signed by the client and the author of the design, who is authorized to submit building designs for building applications.
The building permit is valid for four years. This period can be extended upon application. The application must be received before the deadline expires.
Building applications (application form, site plan, construction drawings, calculations, proof of parking space, etc.) must be submitted in triplicate to the municipal administration. From there, the applications are forwarded to the building supervisory authority for approval, if necessary after the local communities have been involved. The official building application forms can be purchased for a fee of € 7.00 (complete, with description of the building, combustion systems, etc.) and € 4.00 (simplified) from the citizens' office of the municipal administration. The forms can also be downloaded from our homepage: www.vg-nieder-olm.de/Formulare
