Hello,
on our plot of land (or at least soon to be our plot) there is a 3-meter (10 feet) building setback line all around (which I believe is regulated by law). In our current design, we have a balcony that would probably extend beyond this 3-meter (10 feet) boundary.
Can someone tell me if this is allowed? Or is this not a question that can be answered in general?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Tatze

Hello Tatze,
the 3-meter (10-foot) rule refers to the setback boundary toward the neighboring property.
Generally, you are not allowed to build anything within this area, as it would mean your setback encroaches on your neighbor’s land.
If you get along well with your new neighbor, you might be able to convince them to agree to a building encroachment or to accept the transfer of a setback area.
However, it’s best to consult your architect about this, as they usually have a better understanding of the local regulations.

Hello,
these regulations are based on the building code, which is governed by state law. Therefore, the exact legal situation depends on the federal state where the building is constructed.
For example, in NRW balconies may extend up to 1.50m (5 feet) beyond the exterior wall without requiring a separate setback area. However, they still must remain at least 3m (10 feet) away from the property boundary.

Häuslebauer201223 Sep 2011 11:57We only need to maintain a 3 m (10 feet) distance on one side. On the other side, we are allowed to build the balcony and garage directly up to the neighboring property boundary.
Hello,
Why do you only have to keep the 3m (10 feet) distance on one side? Is there a special regulation? The garage part is clear, but what is the distance of the house itself if the balcony extends right up to the neighbor’s property?
