FAQ – The most important questions about advertising banners
Where can you hang advertising banners?
Contrary to the claims of many other online sources, we must advise you against simply installing your banners or having them installed.
It is always advisable to gather information to determine whether a permit may be required in your specific case. This is the only way to avoid unpleasant discussions, trouble, and potential fines, even if you have the owner's permission or are the owner yourself.
An unofficial rule of thumb states that for banner sizes up to 2.49 sqm, official permits are generally not required.
This only applies to a building permit. Building regulations, local construction codes, statutes, zoning plans, and possibly other regulations such as state conservation concerns (i.e., the protection of historical or otherwise valuable buildings or structures) may also apply.
THEREFORE, caution is advised, and it’s important to gather information first.
We are happy to assist you with the application process, the administrative effort, and the other bureaucratic aspects of your project.
