What must be included in the building permit? Legal certainty?

Hello everyone,

and it is good that this forum exists. We are not making much progress, maybe someone can help us.

We found a house in the outer area, has belonged to the family since 1962 and was built at that time.
Since 2003 it has been permanently inhabited. Before that, in 2001, windows, exterior plaster, electricity, and heating were updated to the current standard. Water connection was laid. The house has a three-chamber septic tank that is regularly emptied. The mail is also delivered, and the municipality is responsible for the road to the house and clears it in winter.

According to the construction description from 1962, under 2.4 it says that during the planning, besides the building supervisory introduced standards, the housing construction standards were considered. Justification, in case these standards were not applied: it is a conversion and extension.

We have the stamp from the building authority and important - for the building permit from 24.09.68 the file number Az.....

What we do not have is the original building permit. According to the realtor, we are allowed to live there for reasons of existing use protection, but that does not give us legal certainty.

How should we proceed? What exactly must be stated in the building permit?

do you want to build that or what's going on

You go to the building authority and ask to view the documents with the file number XY.

[Bestandsschutz] means that changes to the building are prohibited and there is also no right to expand.
What is it about? You don't know if living there is allowed because it has been occupied so far? Or do you want to renovate it? For such questions always go to the building authority, after all, they granted the permit.

Hello, thank you for the initial information. We do not want to make any changes to the house itself. Maybe finish the rest of the roof, part of it is already developed and was approved as such back then.

Our real estate agent has now, after a long back and forth with the building authority, found the appropriate contact person. We hopefully will have the original building permit in our hands soon. And we hope that it does not say holiday home or something similar.

You will not get legal certainty in the forum; legal certainty is only provided by the building authority.

Dear [Bauamt], we are interested in purchasing the parcel [Flurstück] as well as the address [Adresse]; there is a building on the parcel, what is the building legal status of the structure?

Residential building with existing rights, illegal construction, weekend house.

Thank you very much
A thousand kisses

I currently also see no connection between a building permit and a right of residence. One does not have a building permit for apartments either. Ultimately, it is probably about the legality of the house, and in that case, 's variant would be advantageous, especially if question marks are also used ;)
