Hi,
we are currently planning our house construction (hopefully starting in July or August) and have a small issue. Our child will start school this September, but unfortunately not at our future residence, rather 30 km (18.6 miles) away at our current address. We would like to avoid this and, if possible, have the child enrolled at the future residence right away. Applications regarding this have so far been unsuccessful and were all rejected.
Assuming we start construction in July or August, from when would it be possible to change the official address?
According to the law, the house must be habitable, which, according to the Bavarian building regulations, means:
“A building may only be used when it itself, access roads, water supply and wastewater disposal, as well as communal facilities, are safely usable to the necessary extent, but not before the time specified in sentence 1.”
However, inquiries with the residents’ registration office showed that they are not very strict about this (they basically said we should just proceed, as no one checks this closely, especially since it’s just a matter of a few months).
What are your experiences? How have you handled this? Feel free to PM.

The idea with the mailbox has also crossed our minds. However, according to the residents’ registration office, that’s not allowed. The question is: does it really matter if we register there later when we actually move in?
And registering at grandma’s place... hmm. According to a new regulation, the landlord has to confirm that this is actually the case. There is allegedly a fine of up to €50,000 (about $54,000) for false declarations.
So, as I said, we have already thought through a few things, but will it actually work like that? Does anyone have concrete experience with this?

If grandma is renting, the landlord of the apartment would have to confirm the move-in, that’s correct..
Welcome to the surveillance and bureaucracy state of Germany. That’s how it is. Unfortunately, grandma herself is renting.
