Building Supervisory Office - Central Plan Acceptance
Stand: 21.02.2025
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 relevant staff. This means that only then is it clear who will process "your" application.
Amendment of the BayBO as of 01.01.25; building projects exempt from procedures
As of 01.01.2025, amendments to the Bavarian Building Code were introduced, including in Article 57, facilitations with regard to procedural exemption for the following projects.
- Loft conversions with the construction of dormers
- Loft conversions without the construction of dormers
- Changes of use (please specify existing use and new use)
- repair work
- Temporary mobile phone installations
These projects must be notified to the building inspectorate in text form 14 days before the start of construction/use.
Please provide the following additional information:
- Building owner, telephone number, email
- Address of the project site, street, house number, parcel, district
Important: This procedural freedom in accordance with Art. 57 BayBO does not release you from the obligation to comply with the requirements imposed on your building project by other public law regulations and does not affect the powers of the building authorities to intervene. (Art. 55 Para. 2 BayBO).
In the case of your building project, you and, within the scope of their sphere of influence, the other parties involved in the construction are solely responsible for ensuring that the public law regulations are complied with (Art. 49 BayBO).
If the project is located in an individual listed building, in the vicinity of an individual listed building or within a listed ensemble, for example, it is mandatory to obtain a permit under monument protection law in accordance with Art. 6 of the Bavarian Monument Protection Act (BayDSchG) before starting work.(denkmalschutz@stadt.erlangen.de)
Please note further:
1. despite procedural freedom, the substantive legal requirements of the Bavarian Building Code must be complied with.
2. corresponding planning documents and evidence, in particular regarding fire protection, stability, compliance with the Building Energy Act (GEG) and, if applicable, the listed building permit must be kept available and presented on request.
3. whether an application for property drainage is necessary must be checked independently of the procedural freedom.(grundstuecksentwaesserung@stadt.erlangen.de)
4 We reserve the right to check compliance with these requirements as part of building inspections.
5. if the required evidence is not submitted, construction work may be suspended or usage may be prohibited.
6 We recommend that you inform your immediate neighbors about the planned construction project in order to avoid possible conflicts at an early stage.

If you do not wish to hand in your documents in person, please make an appointment in advance by telephone or email.

If you want to carry out measures on architectural or ground monuments or in the vicinity of such monuments, you will in many cases require permits in accordance with the German Monument Protection Act (DSchG).

Grants can be applied for from the compensation fund for measures on monuments in accordance with the Bavarian Monument Protection Act.
