Which documents are required?
Documents may be required. Please contact the competent authority.
What are the fees?
A building permit fee will be charged in accordance with the annexes to the Building Fee Ordinance and, if applicable, an additional special usage fee in individual cases in accordance with local law.

Legal basis
What else should I know?
If necessary, a special use permit is also required for the use of the public space. In individual cases, the building supervisory authority or the respective municipal administration will advise you on this.
There are also advertising systems that do not require a permit in accordance with Section 10 of Annex 1 to § 60 of the Lower Saxony Building Code (NBauO), e.g. for advertising systems with a viewing area of up to 1 square metres, for advertising systems for temporary events or for advertising systems that are temporarily installed or set up for public elections.
Incidentally, the NBauO does not apply to advertising material attached to the columns, boards or surfaces approved for this purpose.
