Case processing times and deadlines

Here you can see when you can expect to receive a response to the application you have sent to the municipality.

Sonderborg Municipality strives to process incoming cases as quickly as possible.

Case processing times for construction cases
Type: Net case processing time (average) in days for the first half of 1: National service goals:
Simple constructions 36 40
One-family houses 32 40
Industry and warehouse 36 50
Multi-storey building, business 48 55
Multi-storey building, construction 113 60

The net case processing time is the period during which your fully disclosed application is processed in the municipality until the municipality makes a decision in the case. Fully informed means that the municipality has all the information that must be used to process the application. The time during which the municipality waits for information from you is therefore deducted from the case processing time.

Some cases can be lengthy and complicated, e.g. if the case is being processed by other authorities and requires other permits such as land zone permits, sewage permits or the like.
