You can apply for a partial building permit if you have submitted a building application but have not yet received a building permit. This allows you to obtain permits for individual construction phases in advance.
Information about the service depends on the selected region. You can change the region. In most cases, you can specify your place of residence or select the place where you want to use the service.

You may only start work on your building project once planning permission has been granted. This can take longer, especially for larger projects. With a partial building permit, you can start individual sections of the building project in advance. However, this only applies to the section for which you have received partial building permission.
The part of your building project that is already covered by the partial building permit is no longer decided as part of the building permit.
For fee purposes, you must provide the estimated construction costs of the partial construction measures.
You must first submit a building application. Only then can you apply for a partial building permit for part of the project.
The partial building permit applied for will only be granted if the project is subject to approval. Furthermore, the part of the project must not conflict with any public law regulations and the lower building supervisory authority must determine that the overall building project is generally permissible. The granting of the partial building permit is at the discretion of the lower building supervisory authority.
A partial building permit can be particularly useful for excavating a building pit, laying the foundations and constructing the basement. A granted partial building permit also contains the statement that the overall project is basically approvable. In individual cases, however, you may not receive the building permit you applied for at a later date.
The fees for a partial building permit amount to between 1 per thousand and 4 per thousand of the construction costs, depending on the type of construction project and the type of approval procedure. The fee is offset against the subsequent building permit fee.
If you do not receive the partial building permit you have applied for, you can take legal action in an administrative court. This must be directed at the granting of the partial building permit applied for. However, it is at the discretion of the lower building supervisory authority to grant the partial building permit. In principle, you do not have a legal claim to the granting of a partial building permit even if there are no public law regulations that conflict with the part of the project for which the partial building permit is being applied for.
An objection is not possible.
First of all, please note that in the case of building applications for the construction and alteration of buildings, the building documents must be prepared by an authorized draftsman (architect, civil engineer; for smaller building projects, especially detached and semi-detached houses, also master craftsmen in the building and carpentry trades and state-certified technicians in the field of construction technology). This also applies to the building documents for the application for partial building permission.
Digital submission of applications for partial building permits is not yet possible throughout Bavaria. When selecting a location, the link to the online procedure is displayed, if it is already offered.
The partial building permit must be applied for before the building permit is issued.
The processing time depends on the scope and complexity of the application, the number of agencies involved and the current workload of the authority.
