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.
Directly arrange
Arrange all your tax matters on the BsGW website.
How does it work?
The municipality assumes the situation on January 1 of the year for which you pay tax. This means that if you sell the house on January 2, you still have to pay the tax for the whole year. At the time of the sale, the notary will settle this with the buyer.
More information on property tax and valuation can be consulted on the BsGW website. Here you will also find the rates of this tax.
What to do.
You pay the OZB.
Objecting

When will I receive the assessment notice?
You will receive the assessment for the tax year at the end of February. On the assessment notice you will also find the WOZ assessment with the value for that year. If you are registered with MijnOverheid, you will receive the assessment notice digitally in your message box.
