Hello,
some time ago we built our house. A garage was included in the building application. The building application was approved, and indeed without a building permit according to §67. Now, several years later, we started building the garage without obtaining a new permit, as we assumed that the dimensions of the garage allow it to be constructed without a permit. The garage differs from the one in the building application in that it is a bit longer and the roof shape has changed from a flat roof to a shed roof. The work on the garage is now nearly complete, but it has become apparent that the permitted ridge height at the gable wall of 4 m is exceeded by about 20 cm. My questions are: how should we proceed? Is it advisable to approach the building authority? What possible penalties could we face? Should we ask the land registry office to survey the garage after construction?
Thanks for tips
Regards
