Paying property tax (OZB) on a property
Do you own a (holiday) house or flat in the Netherlands? If so, you must pay property tax (onroerendezaakbelasting– OZB) on it every year. Property tax is part of the municipal taxes and is billed by your municipality. The municipality sets the amount. Tenants do not pay OZB.
Property tax is a percentage of the waardering onroerende zaken – WOZ. The WOZ is the value of your home or holiday home according to the Wet waardering onroerende zaken (Property Valuation Act). The municipality sets the amount of OZB annually. Therefore, it varies from one municipality to another.
Are you unable to pay your municipal taxes? Then ask your municipality for an exemption. You can be granted an exemption from paying part of the taxes, or all of the taxes. The municipality decides for which taxes you can be exempt from paying. It also determines whether you are eligible for an exemption.
OZB is included in the municipal tax bill. This is usually sent out in the first 2 weeks of February.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.

Every year around the end of February you will receive your tax assessment. This is a letter stating how much you have to pay and why.
There are different types of municipal taxes, such as waste tax, sewerage tax and property tax. The Real Estate Information Taxation and Valuation Partnership (SVHW) ensures that the municipality receives the tax funds (levies and claims).
