Building permit

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A building permit , mainly referred to as a building permit in Germany , is required in Austria and Switzerland in order to be allowed to start construction. It is issued by the building police or municipality after the building negotiation. If construction actually begins, this must also be communicated to the building authorities. This can measure the basic dimensions again. This is particularly necessary if the building - limited by the building class - may only reach a certain height.

Once the construction is completed, the building authorities are informed, which can then issue a usage permit ( collaudation ).

Whether an inspection takes place on site and whether neighbors or neighbors are invited to the negotiation depends on the respective building regulations, which may differ in the individual federal states. The municipalities can also restrict the building regulations somewhat and are the building authorities of the first instance.

For smaller construction projects, only a notification to the building authority, a so-called building notice, is often necessary, which does not entail any further negotiations.
