The government council admitted that the building applications still have to be printed out and submitted to the municipality. However, he pointed out that the building permit process had been “significantly simplified” with eBau. “The mountains of paper have been reduced and processes have become more efficient thanks to digitization,” the government said in a response. In addition, the process is simpler, more transparent and faster, which also makes the exchange between the official and specialist departments much easier.
