Does a container need a building permit? Germany, Saxony-Anhalt
We do not yet publish any thresholds for Germany, Saxony-Anhalt. We have not yet retrieved the statute text in a form we can quote verbatim. Rather than an estimate nobody could check, we name the authority that answers the question bindingly: Untere Bauaufsichtsbehörde. This is a deliberate choice. A wrong threshold on a manufacturer’s site is a legal risk for the reader who builds to it, not merely a defect in the text. As soon as the statute text can be retrieved in a readable form we will add the figures here, together with the verbatim quotation, the provision reference and the date the text was retrieved.
What are the thresholds?
Not yet verified. We have not yet been able to retrieve this jurisdiction’s statute text in a readable form, so no figures are published here.
Who do you contact?
Untere Bauaufsichtsbehörde. The municipal or district building authority. The governing statute is the state building code, not a federal act.
