Whether as protection for the car, as storage space, or with a carport, garages are useful and keep things tidy. Before starting construction, there is one important question to ask:<\/p>\n<h4>Do I need a building permit for my garage?<\/h4>\n<p>In this article, you will find out when you need to submit a building application for your garage. You will learn about the building regulations for prefabricated garages and prefabricated concrete garages. We also explain what the state building regulations say about garages. There are differences between the federal states.<\/p>\n<p>We also tell you when a garage can be built on the property boundary. With our free quotation service, you can also compare garage and carport prices and save up to 30%.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"spacer spacer--medium\"><\/div>\n[vc_single_image image=&#8221;4303&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<div class=\"spacer spacer--medium\"><\/div>\n[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is planning permission required for a garage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Planning permission for a garage is required if your planned garage is not a non-procedural building project. This means that there are certain conditions under which you can build a garage without a permit. If these do not apply, you will need a permit from the relevant building authority.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>The following points are decisive for the approval requirement:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The size of the garage (floor area and height)<\/li>\n<li>Whether it is erected on the property boundary<\/li>\n<li>Whether it is built directly on the border or free-standing<\/li>\n<li>Whether the garage is located at the front or rear of the property<\/li>\n<li>The respective federal state and the state building regulations for the garage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In many federal states, garages that are small, low and built on the edge of the property are considered permit-free. Nevertheless, all building regulations must be complied with &#8211; regardless of whether they are prefabricated garages or prefabricated concrete garages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2

regulations differ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In Germany, building law is a matter for the federal states. Each federal state has its own state building regulations for garages, which regulate what is permitted and what is not. In Bavaria, a prefabricated garage can be built without a permit. In Rhineland-Palatinate, a building application is sometimes required.<\/p>\n<p>You should therefore check before building whether you can build a prefabricated garage with or without planning permission.
