Applying for a change to the building permit for temporary structures

    If you, as the operator of a temporary structure, change your main residence or commercial establishment, you must notify the relevant licensing authority.

    Description

    Temporary structures are structures that are suitable and intended to be repeatedly erected and dismantled at different locations (e.g. fairground rides or tents).

    Temporary structures require a construction permit that is issued to an addressee - the operator of the temporary structure. If the permit for the temporary structure is to be changed to a new address of the same operator, this must be applied for.

    The change of address in the building permit is carried out by the approval office of the Giessen Regional Council.

    If the competent authority changes to another federal state due to a change of residence/registered office, the new competent authority will be notified and will receive the authority copy.

    Competent office

    The Giessen Regional Council is responsible.
