Municipality Approval Process in Bengaluru

Step-by-step guide to getting building plan sanction from BBMP.

15 min read · Jun 5, 2026

Before applying for building plan sanction, ensure your plot has a valid khata certificate and all property tax dues are cleared.

Engage a licensed architect or engineer to prepare drawings compliant with BBMP bye-laws. Setback requirements vary by road width and plot size.

Submit your application through the BBMP online portal along with ownership documents, architect's license copy, and structural engineer's certificate.

The standard processing time is 30-45 days. Track your application status online and respond promptly to any queries raised.

After sanction, display the approved plan at the construction site. BBMP inspectors may visit during construction to verify compliance.
