Hello everyone,
My wife and I are currently applying for a municipally owned building plot, or several. Since we also live in this community, we will probably get a plot.
However, some construction companies are hesitant to provide a concrete, turnkey offer upfront because we do not yet have the mentioned plot.
What are your experiences? Similar?

According to the building authority officer (the only one at the building department), it shouldn’t be a problem with our score.I’m happy for you, but a lot can still happen before signing at the notary. Having only one officer is a risk, as without mutual checks there could be a chance of favoritism. Let’s be honest, we’re all just human.
Our binding reservation was also meaningless when the notary appointment fell through. It worked out on the second attempt.
By the way, in our residential area, we got one of the plots that was marked as “sold” from the start. Some of the popular edge plots were reserved for family or friends of the involved parties, who then didn’t want or couldn’t build.

Some of the popular edge plots were reserved for family/friends of those involved, who then didn’t want or weren’t able to build. No one wants to hear that! Let’s be honest, building plots are so scarce and in every community so heavily oversubscribed by people wanting to build, that irregularities inevitably occur in sought-after areas around metropolitan regions.
The motto being: "xyz First"
That was the case for us as well, a very popular method to secure a plot..

This was also the case for us. So it’s a very common method to secure a plot..
“Some of the popular edge plots were reserved for family/friends of those involved, who then didn’t want or couldn’t build.”In our Rhein-Neckar district, this is a very hot topic. In times of unpopular decisions and citizen protests like Stuttgart 21, no municipality wants to risk public dissatisfaction by conducting improper procedures or even provoke a wave of lawsuits.
That may be what the public believes. Unfortunately, you will never find out because, due to GDPR regulations, it is not allowed to disclose who received how many points according to the local model, why someone else was selected, and why you were not.
As mentioned, data protection comes first, and there are no exceptions.
You are only informed that, unfortunately, you will not get a plot of land.
There are also zoning plans with requirements that, for example, the seller of the development area—who kept a parcel for themselves and is now building with us—does not have to comply with. Where does that come from? Oh right, everyone is treated equally... definitely not!

All the plots we applied for are the same size – so that's pretty straightforward.It’s not about the size, but rather the characteristics, such as the orientation.
A specific reference house doesn’t simply fit on every plot; one might face south, another north...
On one plot, the building envelope is narrower than on another, and so on.

If the citizen protester or the warning attorney happens to be the prospective builder, the plot will be offered to them first for exactly the reason you mentioned.
I can only speak from personal experience: we bought a TOP plot (overpriced, but what can you do), but had to go through all the crap ourselves on the way there.
Anyway, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly here! Not everyone has to be as unlucky as we were.
