Art. 18 Law on Construction and Land Use Planning (LCAT)

1 Upon receipt of the building permit application, the municipal authority examines whether the application is complete, requests any necessary additions, and if it is not itself competent to issue the permit, forwards the file to the Building Permit Section.

2 The Building Permit Section or, where applicable, the competent municipal authority for issuing the permit, immediately proceeds with a preliminary examination of the file. It returns incomplete or non-compliant applications to the applicant, inviting them to provide the necessary additions and corrections.

3 When the Building Permit Section is competent and the file is complete, it transmits a copy to the municipal authority within 10 days so that it can proceed with the publication of the application (art. 19 LCAT). The publication takes place without delay, after any required profiles have been set up.

4 When it is not competent to issue the permit, the municipal authority forwards the file to the Building Permit Section within 10 days following the expiration of the opposition period, along with its report and proposals.

5 Authorities are required to process files using the application for managing the building permit procedure.
