The municipality of Gröbenzell had so far stayed out of the discussion about the new parking situation on Bernhard-Rößner-Straße.

Now they are finally expressing themselves in the town hall and are defending themselves against accusations that are burgeoning.

Gröbenzell – For almost two weeks now, drivers have only been able to use the parking spaces opposite the Bernhard Rößner School if they rent a parking space for 40 euros a month.

The outcry was great.

First the new owner got rid of his fat.

Then the Free State of Bavaria came under criticism because the State Office for Finance, as the previous owner, had owed its property tax for more than 20 years.

And finally there was the question of whether there really was no other way for the community than foreclosure.

The town hall did not answer for about two weeks and justified this with an application by the SPD in the municipal council, which still had to be dealt with.

Now, however, the community is responding to a new Tagblatt request.

The tax liability

The statement clearly denies that the municipality did not act with sufficient care in the foreclosure of the parking spaces.

First of all, the collection of tax debts is clearly regulated according to legal requirements.

Deviations from the community side are generally not possible.

After the enforcement order by the municipality, the courts are responsible.

The foreclosure sale is always "the last resort," it says.

In this specific case, it is doubtful that the Free State would have wanted to pay its debts in the foreseeable future.

The town hall points out that several reminders have been sent out and that the foreclosure auction had already been announced two years ago.

Because the collection of property tax debts is a routine case, the municipal council did not have to be informed in advance: the foreclosure was open to the public.

And that should interest many: "There was no municipal right of first refusal."

Always been private property

With a view to the previously free use of the parking spaces next to the so-called Wagner high-rise buildings, the municipality writes: “The parking areas were never public parking spaces.

It was just private property that was used publicly.” The Free State, as the owner of the area, could have installed a barrier at any time.

Incidentally, an almost historical shortcoming could now be remedied: the purchase of the property by a private investor could create underground and parking spaces for the residents, which have been missing since the building was constructed around 50 years ago.

However, there is still enough need for discussion: the municipal council will deal with two SPD applications in this matter at its meeting next Thursday.
