Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an occupancy permit and a notice of use?
Annex 2 of the Building Code sets out, based on the type and size of the building and the work done, whether an occupancy permit is needed or a notice of use is enough. From 1 August 2026, a notice of use is enough for detached and semi-detached houses and their ancillary buildings. Apartment buildings, commercial buildings and other non-residential buildings generally still need an occupancy permit. Your project manager will work out which one your building needs.
How long does the procedure take?
The local authority issues an occupancy permit within 30 days of the application being submitted. A notice of use is submitted at least 10 days before the building starts being used; if the local authority does not require an additional inspection within that time, you can start using the building. How long it takes to prepare the documents depends on the building.
Can I get an occupancy permit or notice of use for an old building with no documents?
Often, yes: missing documents (e.g. an as-built survey, a structural audit) are prepared retrospectively. For a building built before 22 July 1995, the law presumes that it was built lawfully (exception: land not entered in the land register). The building must still be safe and its data in the Building Register must be correct.
