Building Code Requirements in Sachsen
Saxony's SächsBO sets a 2.40 m general room height, reduced to 2.30 m in a roof space. The exact clause number needs confirming against the current statute text.
Sachsen’s building law is the Sächsische Bauordnung (SächsBO), currently in force.
Minimum room height (lichte Raumhöhe): 2.40 m generally, reduced to 2.30 m over at least half the room’s floor area in a roof space. The exact clause (§) number for these figures isn’t independently confirmed against current SächsBO statute text — check the official text directly rather than citing a specific paragraph from this page.
Your LBO also sets boundary setbacks (Abstandsflächen), guard/parapet (Umwehrung) heights, and permit-free (verfahrensfrei) thresholds for garages and carports — confirm all of these, along with the room-height clause number above, in the SächsBO text on revosax.sachsen.de before you build to a number.
