• Submit the documents to the responsible municipality. If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these processing obstacles. In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.

The responsible municipality will check your documents. If you do not receive any feedback from the responsible municipality within one month or if it declares in writing beforehand that no approval procedure is to be carried out and that it will not apply for a prohibition in accordance with Section 15 (1) sentence 2 of the Building Code, you may begin construction. If the municipality decides that a simplified building permit procedure should be carried out, you will receive your documents back. When submitting the documents, you can specify that in this case your building documents are to be forwarded to the responsible building supervisory authority and treated as a building application.

The exemption from approval is subject to a fee.

If you have a permit exemption, you must submit a notice of commencement of construction to the lower building supervisory authority at least one week before the start of construction work. If the construction work is to be started more than three years after the construction work has become permissible in accordance with Section 62 (3) sentences 2 and 3 of the Bremen Building Code, the documents must be submitted to the municipality again.
