Service Description

If you want to transfer the mining license to a third party, you need the approval of the competent authority.

If you or your company have a mining permit for the exploration of mineral resources, you can transfer this in whole or in part to third parties under certain conditions. To do so, you need the written consent of the competent authority.

You can apply for the transfer of your permit online via the "BergPass" platform or in writing to your competent mountain authority.

Cash Register: siehe Bescheid
Bitte geben Sie das Kassenzeichen an.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

Period of validity: 0 - 50 Years
The duration of a permit depends largely on the mineral resource and the predicted occurrence. Permits are issued for a limited period of time, which must be appropriate for the implementation of the planned extraction. This may only exceed 50 years if this is necessary in view of the investments normally required for extraction. If you do not commence extraction within 3 years of the permit being issued, the permit may be revoked. The same applies if you interrupt your extraction work for longer than 3 years.

Processing duration

Processing time: 1 - 4 Weeks
Die Bearbeitungsdauer hängt wesentlich von der Qualität und Vollständigkeit der Antragsunterlagen ab.

Legal basis
Appeal
  • Objection processed by the competent mining authority
  • If necessary, subsequent appeal to the administrative court
