Property tax (OZB).

What is it?

You pay property tax (OZB) if you own an immovable property, such as a home or commercial property.

You do not have to pay OZB if you rent a house. You do pay OZB if you rent a commercial building.

How does it work?

  • Every year you receive an assessment from the municipality containing the property tax you have to pay. This includes the appraised value of your property.
  • The situation on January 1 of the year determines the tax liability. If you move and/or sell the house during the year, there will be no settlement via the municipality. However, the notary will settle the owner's portion of the assessment with the new owner when the house is transferred.

What does it cost?

The 2025 rate is for:

  • the user tax 0.1527 %
  • owner's tax
    for primarily residential property 0.0952 %
    for non-primarily residential property 0.2044 %

How long does it take?

What you have to pay depends on the following criteria:

Value of your property or home

The municipality appraises your property each year. The appraised value of your home serves as the basis for calculating the taxes due.

Municipal rates

The municipality sets its own property tax rates. The rate is tied to the value of your home or property and thus the annual property tax is determined for you. The rates vary by municipality. It is therefore possible that in another municipality you may have to pay more or less tax, while the property is worth as much as yours.

Objecting

Do you disagree with the assessment? Then you can file an objection. In your objection, state the assessment number and explain why you disagree. Send your objection within 6 weeks after the date on the assessment notice to the municipality for the attention of the tax officer.
