Citizen information on building and renovation

  • Service description

    The citizens' information brochure "Building & Renovating" contains all the important information and advice for people interested in building and buying a new home in Kevelaer. The brochure provides information on all aspects of "Construction and renovation of residential buildings" and offers competent solutions from financing and planning to execution.

    In addition to general information about the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer, the brochure also contains information about the property and its use for building purposes. The development of a plot of land must be clarified with the responsible institutions before building a new structure. Planning permission is required for the construction, alteration, change of use or demolition of buildings. Regardless of whether it is a new or old building, the building should meet the legal energy requirements. Sufficient insulation and efficient system technology offer many advantages. Energy-efficient construction measures are subsidized by the federal and state governments.

    The relevant contact persons are listed in the brochure and are available to answer questions at any time.

    The brochure is available for download here:
