Wait with the building application because of the child construction allowance

That's fine too, nobody has to be jealous. If I had been able to build three years ago, I would have saved more than €24,000 on construction costs.

Definitely

You have to keep in mind... you simply get a tax gift worth a new Passat Comfortline without special equipment.

Nana, it's about the construction :P Let's say the paved driveway (and depending on the property the lawn) is free for the family, so the children don't have to trudge through the mud into the house for years

The money is of course used for [Sondertilgung]. Anything else would be unreasonable. If it’s given as a gift, it will also be used for the intended purpose.

Now things are moving quickly. On the BR homepage, there is an article from today stating that the Bavarian Baukindergeld will be decided next week.

There was talk of €300 per child on top of the federal Baukindergeld + €10k one-time payments.

Our district office advised us today on the following procedure:

Since our building application was approved in November 2017, we would not receive any funding. However, we could make a so-called texture and, for example, make the garage slightly larger or smaller. As a result, we would have to resubmit the building application, and it would be re-examined and re-approved, then with approval in 2018. It remains questionable whether the construction work already started has an impact on possible funding.
