If you erect or have erected and operate an installation that now requires a permit and this installation did not previously require a permit, you must notify the competent authority within three months of the change in the law.

An installation that does not require a permit and that has already been erected or whose erection or significant modification has already begun becomes subject to a permit when it is included in the list of installations requiring a permit in the ordinance (4th BImSchV).

In this case, the installation is subject to the approval requirements under immission control law and must be notified to the competent authority within three months of the respective 4th Federal Immission Control Ordinance coming into force.
