Renovation of the Ebersberg tax office: expensive construction site nightmare!

The renovation of the Ebersberg tax office on Schlossplatz is going like chewing gum. What was originally supposed to be completed between the end of July and December 2023 has now dragged on for over two years. What’s the point? Construction challenges, particularly due to monument protection, have delayed the work and made it more expensive, reports Mercury.

The construction site currently looks more like a standstill. No parking signs have been unchanged for two years and the roof renovation, which is currently underway, is scheduled to be completed in 2025. However, the facade renovation, a critical step, is still up in the air. So far the windows have been replaced and an elevator installed. A ray of hope, but the costs now come to around 2.7 million euros - initially it was only estimated at 1.9 million euros.

Background of the delays

The delays are not accidental. The complex requirements of monument protection require extensive structural and historical monitoring, which has also led to additional protective measures. A cloudy case, but it still shows how important it is to preserve our historic buildings. Many listed properties, such as the tax office in Ebersberg, can often be purchased cheaply, but are expensive to renovate, according to experience gained in the industry Haufe.

So if you are a buyer looking at a listed property, you should be prepared for the fact that high investments will be necessary. The tax advantages that result from depreciation over several years are often a small consolation for the high costs during the renovation. But before the first hammer can be swung, approval from the monument protection authority is always required.

• Sanierungskosten wie 800.000 Euro können über 12 Jahre abgesetzt werden.
• Bei Eigenbedarf können 90% der Modernisierungskosten über 10 Jahre geltend gemacht werden.

In recent months, many questions have revolved around the renovation of the Ebersberg tax office. What will happen next? When will we finally see progress? While citizens hope for final completion, it remains to be seen what other unexpected turns the construction site will take. However, one thing is certain: the challenges of renovation will be with us for some time to come.
