Building and living

The market town of Guntramsdorf provides support with the implementation of building projects and the search for suitable housing. Forward-thinking planning and compliance with legal requirements ensure a high quality of life and maintain architectural standards in our community. Here you will find all the essential information on planning permission procedures, regulatory requirements and the allocation of housing.

Authorisation of new buildings, extensions and conversions
