Prerequisites

All binding information can be found in the directive.

Here is the most important information in brief:

  • Funding is only possible for buildings within the city limits of the City of Munich.
  • The applicant is responsible for the investment costs. This means that all orders, invoices, etc. must be issued to the applicant and paid from their bank account. The funding amount is paid out exclusively to the applicant's bank account.
  • The principle of "funding application before order" is mandatory for the application.
    No contract for the measure may have been awarded yet. If an order has been placed with the companies carrying out the construction work or the consultants for which the application is to be submitted, this will prevent FKG funding!
  • Building owners and equivalent persons, e.g. usufructuaries, are eligible to apply. Further information on the group of applicants can be found under "Questions and answers".
  • The application must be submitted exclusively online in the municipal funding portal.

Required documents

No documents are required when submitting the application.

After completion of the measure(s), the required documents must be uploaded to the funding portal. The required documents are listed on the respective subpages. To do this, select the funding measure relevant to you from the selection menu below.

Duration & Costs

Processing time

The procedure is described in detail in the guidelines.

Here are the most important points in brief:

After submitting your application, you will receive two notifications in the funding portal. The first with the subject "Application received", the second with the subject "The measure(s) applied for may be commissioned". Only after receiving the second notification may the measure applied for be implemented, i.e. only then may you commission the companies carrying out the work and, if applicable, the energy consultant for the specialised energy planning and construction supervision or purchase materials or equipment.

The construction measures applied for must be completed and the documents (proof of utilisation) uploaded within a certain period of time. An extension of the deadline can be applied for online via the funding portal for certain funding measures. The deadline regulations are described in the respective subpages. To do this, select the relevant funding measure in the selection menu below.

Applications are processed in the order in which the utilisation references are received. If it is determined during the review that documents are missing or requirements have not been met, there is the possibility of rectification. In this case, you will receive a message via the funding portal with a request to upload the necessary evidence within a reasonable period of time.

Information on current processing times can be found on the respective subpages. Select the funding programme relevant to you from the selection menu below.

Once the review of an application has been completed, a notification will be issued. The funding will be paid out eight to ten weeks after receipt of the funding decision.
