Before submitting a building application, a written decision on specific aspects of the construction project (preliminary building decision) may be requested through a preliminary building inquiry. As a preliminary component of the building permit, a positive preliminary building decision is binding for the subsequent building permit process. The validity period of the preliminary building decision may be extended upon request.

The building authority may attach new ancillary conditions to the extension.

You must submit a written request for an extension to the local building authority before the preliminary building permit expires.

• Appeal
• Action before the administrative court

You must submit a written request for an extension to the local building authority before the preliminary building permit expires (4 years).

The lower building authority is responsible for issuing building permits. This is the district administration; in cities that are not part of a district and in large cities within a district, it is the city administration or the municipal association administration, if building supervision duties have been delegated to it (the municipal association administrations of Diez and Konz).

Cost range (variable): from 60.00 euros to 750.00 euros.

A written request.
