Frequently asked questions

What works are considered 'minor'?
It varies by municipality, but typically includes interior renovations without structural impact, window and door replacement, facade painting, and minor repairs. Works affecting structure, facade, or increasing the surface area require a major work licence.
Can I start works before having the permit?
No. Starting without a permit can result in fines and an order to stop work. In the case of prior communication, you may begin immediately after submission in many cases.
