Procedure details

Anyone wishing to set up, extend or operate an enclosure for fallow deer, red deer, sika deer or mouflon must notify the relevant district office (district administrative authority) in accordance with the Animal Protection Act and the Bavarian Nature Conservation Act.

For enclosures of more than 10 ha, an additional hunting permit from the district office is required.

(Optional) appeal procedure
  • Appeal procedure (optional); lodging an appeal

    If the objection has no suspensive effect, an application for suspension of enforcement can be made to the original authority or the objection authority in accordance with Section 80 (4) VwGO. Instead, an application for an order or restoration of the suspensive effect of the objection can be made to the competent Bavarian Administrative Court in accordance with Section 80 (5) VwGO.

    Please note: If it concerns the demand for public charges and costs (§ 80 Para. 2 Sentence 1 No. 1 VwGO), an application to the court is generally only admissible if the authority has previously rejected an application for suspension of enforcement (§ 80 Para. 6 VwGO).
