Submit documents for the permit exemption for the change of use of a facility to the municipality
Description
Before you can change the use of a project that does not require planning permission, you need an exemption from planning permission. This means that you do not need planning permission, but must submit verifiable documents to the local authority (e.g. for a detached house in a B-plan area).
In the case of a change of use, you do not make any structural changes (e.g. conversion of a residential building into office space).
- Building project complies with public law regulations
You do not need permission for your building project if
- it is located in a development area whose development plan has been approved,
- it does not contradict the provisions of the development plan,
- the development is secured and
- the municipality does not request a simplified building permit procedure within the statutory period or apply for a temporary prohibition.
If you want exceptions and exemptions from the provisions of the development plan, you must apply for these separately before submitting the permit exemption.
