Which sanitary installations do not require a building permit?

In Poland, there is a construction law that specifies the rules and procedures for obtaining appropriate permits for the construction of a building and for reporting investments to the appropriate authorities. Some regulations are also introduced by the Regulation of the Minister of Development on the detailed scope and form of a construction project (Journal of Laws 2022.0.1679).

It applies to facilities under construction, modernized and - importantly - used in accordance with their intended purpose.

It is worth knowing which installations require permits and which can be implemented without the need to obtain an administrative decision.

According to the law in force in Poland, some works defined as construction of electrical installations do not require a building permit, but it is sufficient to report construction works. Examples include telecommunications installations inside a building and some water installations that do not significantly interfere with the structure of the building or its surroundings.

The execution of installations related to internal sewage , as well as works within the heating networks, may be carried out on the basis of a notification, provided that they do not affect the change of the purpose of the building or its structure. In such cases, the building supervision body does not require the presentation of a decision on the permit for the execution of works.

Examples of installations for which a construction permit is not required:

  • Installation of bathroom faucets and sanitary ware, such as ceramic washbasins ;
  • Air conditioning installation;
  • Telecommunications installations inside the building,
  • Minor changes to water and sewage installations.

When does a sanitary installation need to be reported to the office?

Not every installation requires a building permit , but many works, especially those related to external networks, require at least notification to the appropriate authority. Notification of construction works includes works related to the construction of a connection to the building, as well as the modernization of air conditioning and electrical installations.

Construction law and the need to obtain a building permit for sanitary installations

According to the provisions of the building law, some installations require a building permit, especially when they affect the external infrastructure of the building or are part of a complex system. For example, the construction of heating networks, larger sewage or power installations may require the submission of a complete construction design and obtaining a decision from a building supervision authority.

Work that always requires a permit:

  • Construction of external heating installations,
  • Installation of advanced telecommunications systems outside the building,
  • Works related to the construction of high-capacity sewage infrastructure,
  • Expansion of power systems.

Each investment of this type requires obtaining appropriate permits, which includes both the construction design and the plot development design. The forms of the construction design are strictly defined by Polish regulations, and the documentation must comply with the requirements of the law.
