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.
Paying property tax (OZB) on a property
The following rate applies in the municipality of Hollands Kroon.
Pay
You receive the property tax assessment from your municipality every year. This assessment states the amount that you must pay. You pay this amount within 6 weeks. Are you unable to pay the amount in one go? Then you can:
- pay in parts: you request a direct debit and the municipality debits the amount in parts (every month) from your bank account;
- apply for a payment arrangement from the municipality.
Property tax remission
Are you unable to pay the property tax assessment? You can ask the municipality if you do not have to pay (part of it). This is called remission. You can apply for a waiver.
Property tax after moving
Are you moving later in the year? Then you still pay the property tax assessment that is determined on January 1. You no longer have to pay property tax for your new home. This is usually settled by the notary with the new owners.
