Submit a building application online
In a further step towards more citizen-friendly building, building applications can be submitted conveniently online at any time. Further information at: Press report from 14.09.2023
Based on the experience of the past year, some fundamental changes have been made or regulations have been retained:
- Accessibility
For the personal submission of applications, for consultations, etc., please make an appointment in advance. Access is not possible without an appointment. You can find the contact details under Making an appointment.
You can reach your contact person by telephone, e-mail or post. - Access
Access to the Building Supervisory Office on the 2nd floor is now only possible via the elevator (barrier-free) in the rear courtyard. Please register in the office, you will then be met in our waiting area. The offices of the employees are no longer accessible.
Consultation / building consultation by appointment only
Consultations only take place by prior appointment via video conference or in person in our meeting rooms. It has been shown that the quality of advice is much more effective if an appointment is made in advance than without - you can prepare for this joint appointment and there are no waiting times. We primarily offer advice via video conference - no travel - no parking problems - documents can also be viewed together on screen.
The following options are available for making appointments, depending on the specialist area:
To make an appointment: bauaufsichtsamt@stadt.erlangen.de.
Telephone inquiries on 09131 / 86-1002 and 09131/86-1004.
- For questions about building development, structural use, etc.: bauberatung@stadt.erlangen.de
These will be forwarded to the responsible person in charge. - For questions about land drainage: grundstuecksentwaesserung@stadt.erlangen.de
For telephone inquiries, call 09131 / 86-1041 or 09131/86-1087. - For questions regarding monument protection: denkmalschutz@stadt.erlangen.de
Telephone inquiry under the number 09131 / 86-1007.
In all cases, please state the address of the building plot in the subject line of the email or on the phone. The relevant employees will get back to you to arrange a specific appointment.
Central plan acceptance
This is where all incoming applications are received, recorded and checked for completeness. Building applications that have significant defects and therefore cannot be processed are returned to the applicant. It is no longer possible to submit plans to individual clerks. Only once the documents are complete will they be passed on to the responsible person. This means that only then is it clear who will process "your" application. We expect this solution to relieve the case handlers of the formal task of "checking completeness" and give them more time for the actual substantive examination.
Please note:
- If possible, please send the building application documents by post. It is also possible to drop the application documents directly into our letterbox. You will find this at the entrance to the building on Luitpoldstraße. You can also post the documents in the letterbox at the town hall, Rathausplatz 1.
- Building applications can also be submitted online.
- If you do not wish to submit your application in person, please make an appointment in advance by emailing planannahme@stadt.erlangen.de or calling 09131 / 86-1068 or 09131 / 86-1003
This will avoid waiting times. - The plan acceptance department will check the submitted building application for completeness using a check sheet.
All official forms can be found on the website of the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Building and Transport.
