Exemption procedure or building permit

If a neighbor or anyone else has problems with your construction, you are the contact person.

Here you have to collect the signatures of the neighbors before the start of construction. I thought that might settle the issue.

Everyone still goes to the building authority, and the neighbors also sign the [Genehmigungsfreisteller]. That means they know the planning. Mine diligently took photos of the submission plan when signing. Of course, I did too. As a new neighbor, builder, and layperson, you can’t really grasp such a submission plan immediately at signing, plus reality might look different after the excavator has been there, or the garage is shifted by 30cm and falls short of the 3m by 5cm. That’s not unusual. The submission plans of both my neighbors don’t match reality (mostly the height of the building). But live and let live. Everyone has a lot of debt, so let them do it as long as it doesn’t bother anyone.

everyone still goes to the building authority anyway, and the neighbors also sign the approval exemption form. That means they know the planning. Mine diligently took photos of the submission plan when signing. I naturally did too

Did you have any problems afterwards?

At our place, the release is also checked by the municipality. I saved the extra costs, but there are also no deviations from the development plan.

The cutout is also checked by the municipality in our case.

That's how it goes with us too

Did you have any problems afterwards?

Insignificant. My shell builder just removed 2 boundary stones and didn’t put them back. Instead, he even chiseled the boundary markings onto the L-stones. "We've always done it that way."

He wasn’t allowed to do either. Then, 2 weeks later, a letter came from the building authority. About the nonsense with the explanation form.

So many citizens walk around construction sites that something like that is immediately noticed.
