Place an ad
What is it?
You cannot simply place advertisements on or attached to a building. For example, the advertisement must not endanger traffic. If you wish to install a billboard on a building, you must apply for an environmental permit from the municipality.
This refers to advertising that you place on or attached to a building. Examples include signs, banners, and text or images on walls.
