Building permit in the simplified approval procedure
Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz§ Section 66 (1) sentence 1 of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Building Regulations (LBauO) lists projects for which the simplified approval procedure must be carried out. This includes, for example, residential buildings in building classes 1 - 3 (i.e. the floor of any storey in which living rooms are possible must not be more than 7 m above the ground surface on average) including their outbuildings and ancillary facilities. For the projects listed in § 66 Para. 2 LBauO, a simplified approval procedure is only carried out if certificates are submitted by experts recognized by the building authorities that stability and fire protection are guaranteed.
In the simplified approval procedure, the building inspectorate review is limited to the permissibility in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code, local building regulations (Section 88 LBauO), Section 52 LBauO and other public law regulations. The compliance of the project with the building regulations, i.e. also the Rhineland-Palatinate state building regulations, is not checked.
The application for a building permit under the simplified approval procedure must be submitted to the municipal administration or the association of municipalities.
The building documents that must be submitted with the building application are set out in Section 7 of the state ordinance on building documents and the building inspection. The building application and the building documents must be signed by the client as well as the drafters who are authorized to submit building documents for building applications.
