Municipality of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht: paying property tax (OZB) on a property
Do you own a (holiday) house or apartment in the Netherlands? Then you pay OZB. You do not need to be registered in a municipality for this. How much property tax (OZB) you have to pay depends on:
- value of the home;
- OZB rates that apply in your municipality.
Every year on 1 January , the municipality determines the value of your business premises. This is the valuation of immovable property (WOZ). The municipality uses the WOZ value of the previous year to determine the amount of property tax.

Payment
You receive the annual OZB assessment from your municipality each year. That assessment specifies the amount that you have to pay. You must pay that amount within 6 weeks.
Are you unable to pay the amount all at once? If so, you can:
- pay in instalments: request a direct debit, and the municipality will debit the amount from your bank account in instalments (each month)
- request a payment plan from the municipality
OZB relief
Are you unable to pay the amount in the OZB assessment? You can ask the municipality whether you are entitled to an exemption for (part of) the amount. That exemption is referred to as kwijtschelding . You can apply for an exemption via our website.
OZB after moving house
Are you moving house later in the year? If so, you will still have to pay the OZB amount assessed on 1 January. You will not have to pay the OZB for your new home. It is usually settled with the new owners via the notary.
Do you disagree with the WOZ for your property? Or with the OZB? If so, you can lodge a complaint. For more information visit our website.
