TIPS

  • The building permit system in the Czech Republic consists of two steps – planning consent and building control consent. You will need the planning consent only if you want to construct a new building or change the use of an existing building.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • Similar to Germany, local architects and engineers need to be appointed to sign the application.
  • It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain statements from statutory consultees – including utility providers.
  • Although applications are public, most authorities do not have websites where you can view them online.
  • Applications need to be submitted in hard copy and usually in eight copies.
