Wall Height Without a Building Permit

05.01.2025. | autor: Dizajnetc Leave a Comment

When discussing exterior walls, we generally distinguish between boundary walls, which are typically located on property lines, and retaining walls, whose purpose is to ensure soil stability.

For both categories, it is possible to construct them without a project or building permit, but only up to a certain height and under specific conditions.

For boundary walls, the maximum height allowed without a project or permit is 1.6 m (measured from the lowest point of the final leveled terrain).
For retaining walls, the maximum height without a project or permit is 1 m.

Although these heights are permitted without a building permit, it is always necessary to check the spatial plan to determine if there are any specific restrictions (e.g., dimensions, position on the plot, etc.).

Fences are another category that can be constructed without a project or permit, up to a maximum height of 2.2 m.

Anything exceeding the mentioned heights—boundary walls (1.6 m), retaining walls (1 m), or fences (2.2 m)—requires a project and a building permit.
