Procedure details
Description
Anyone wishing to fish in Bavaria and requiring a Bavarian fishing license must pay the fishing tax; it can be paid either for a period of five years or once for the entire period of validity.
The fishing tax is used exclusively to promote fishing. The funds are mainly allocated by the Landesfischereiverband Bayern e.V. within the framework of statutory regulations.
Fees
If you pay for five years, the fishing levy is EUR 40.00.
If you pay once, you will have to pay a maximum of € 300.00 (if you apply at the age of 14). The older you are when you submit your application, the greater the reduction in the fee for one-off payments. For example, if you are 45 years old when you submit your application, the fishing tax for a lifetime fishing license with a one-off payment is still €160.00.
For the annual fishing license for tourists, the fishing tax is € 15.00.
Under certain conditions, which you can find out from the municipality, the fishing tax is reduced to 50% of the regular amount.
Deadlines
If you have a fishing license for life and have only paid the fishing tax for five years, the fishing tax is due again at the end of these five years if you want to continue fishing.
Appeal
(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).
