Service Description

If you start using a building, you must notify the competent authority.

As a building owner, you must notify the authorities when you start to use a building.

If your building is exempt from procedures, you do not have to notify the start of use. Your building is exempt from procedures if you do not require a permit for the construction, conversion or other structural changes.


Process flow

Submit the notification electronically via the online service or in writing on paper using the form.

If you use the online service, proceed as follows:

  • Log in with your user account. To submit an application as a private individual, you need a BundID account. If you are applying on behalf of an organization (company, authority, etc.), you will need a "My company account".
  • Complete the online form.
  • Add the required documents.
  • Submit the notification of commencement of use to the responsible lower building supervisory authority.
  • If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these.
  • In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.
