Governments accept applications for dedication, reclassification, and retirement of federal and state roads, and for changes to the road inventory for federal, state, and county roads.

In the formally designated redevelopment area, you generally need a permit for activities related to the property.

After completion of an urban redevelopment measure in accordance with the Building Code, the municipality demands a compensation amount from the owners of the land located in the formally defined redevelopment area.

The basis of the compensation amount is the remediation-related increase in land value usually determined by the expert committees. This is the difference between the land value that would result for the land if remediation had not been intended or carried out (initial value) and the land value resulting for the land from the legal and factual reorganisation of the formally defined redevelopment area (final value).

In order to ensure that no actual or legal changes take place during an urban redevelopment which may have an aggravating effect on the redevelopment process, certain measures in a formally defined redevelopment area are subject to a Approval reservation.

It requires the written approval of the municipality

• the construction, modification, conversion or disposal of buildings or other construction facilities;
• the taking of significant or value-enhancing changes to land and construction facilities;
• contractual relationships under the law for the use or use of land (in particular rent and lease),
• the sale of immovable property and the conclusion of a corresponding debt-law contract,
• the appointment of a right onering the property (e.g. a mortgage) and the conclusion of a corresponding contractual agreement under debt law,
• the justification, modification or cancellation of a construction load or
• the division of a plot of land.

In certain cases, the municipality may grant a general authorisation for the formally defined remediation area or parts of it. If this is the case, that general authorisation shall be made public.

Do not require permission

• projects involving the municipality or the remedial authority,
• legal transactions for the purpose of anticipating the legal succession,
• Projects approved prior to the formal definition of the remediation area shall be
• legal transactions for the purpose of national defence and
• the acquisition by the demand carrier of land which are involved in a procedure pursuant to Section 38 of the Building Code.
