Duration until the issuance of the building permit in BW

It depends extremely on the municipality and the caseworker. With us, it took 9 months because some small detail always had to be clarified. For a friend in the neighboring municipality, it took two weeks.

: do I understand correctly, you now have a building permit and want to implement the plan exactly as it is, you just lack the executor; you only hired the architect up to the permit approval, but not for the execution planning and not for the tendering; that means there are no execution plans and no tender-ready construction description after the design plans, but your time to implement the building permit (and to provide financing) is already running? That would almost be bolder than just brave *frown* *scratch head*

I only have the building permit but financing is not yet in place because I would need a contract and KfW confirmation for that, which I have not received from the company I wanted to build with until today... And I only have the building permit but since there is no site manager's declaration yet, I also do not have the red dot yet.

Hello,

for us, the whole thing expired within 6 weeks. We submitted the building application at the municipal council meeting at the end of January, and the positive feedback came in early/mid March.

But I had already had the building authority check beforehand whether our deviations from the development plan were still within the tolerance range :) on their part, there was already a "almost OK", provided that two labels regarding the wall height of the garage border development were added.

We are building in the Spessart ;)

I only have the building permit but the financing is not yet in place [...]

Well, at least no commitment fees yet. But you're basically just hanging around cluelessly now and waiting for Godot (?)

Our building permit is here and promises must be kept:

We submitted our building application in the simplified procedure to the municipality at the end of August 2020. From there, it was forwarded directly to the district office, and the confirmation of receipt came at the beginning of September.

The municipality then carried out the adjacent property owner hearing, during which the neighbors had 4 weeks to inspect the plans and possibly object. Luckily, nothing came from them, and the municipality gave its approval at the beginning of October. The documents were sent directly to the district office and were recorded as received there in mid-October. We then waited excitedly for the building permit.

A brief digression: according to the BaWü state building code, the building authority has exactly 10 days after receipt of the application to check the documents for completeness and, if necessary, request documents. That would have been until mid-September.

At the beginning of November, the district office got in touch in writing to say that the documents were incomplete and that they still needed documents and additions to the building application. Since the deadlines "pause" at that point, we obtained the documents as quickly as possible and had the changes made by our architect as well as exchanged the plans about a week later. About another week later, we also called again and kindly asked whether anything else was missing or any further changes were necessary, which was denied over the phone.

At the beginning of December, we then received the message that the dormer was somewhat too large for the district office and we should revise the plan. Here, too, we reacted immediately and exchanged the new plans three days later. Before Christmas, we asked again whether there would still be a building permit in 2020 – but there wasn’t.

In January, we heard nothing more but did not want to call the caseworker constantly and cause annoyance. When, at the end of January, there was still nothing, we asked again. You could tell he was completely surprised and then came up with various excuses. My personal impression was that he simply forgot. He then said he would take care of it.

In mid/end of February, we finally received the building permit, whereby the written part (creating documents, signing, etc.) took 2 weeks according to the system.

Conclusion: almost 6 months for the building permit (or 5 months excluding the additional submission times), although the state building code prescribes only 3 months or even only 2 months in the simplified procedure. But as Evelyn already wrote, what can you do? In the end, they all hold the stronger leverage and rather ensure that it takes even longer. I just find it cheeky that the state puts clear deadlines in the state building code and the reality looks different.
