Municipality of Hof van Twente: paying property tax (OZB) on a property
Please note: do you own a (holiday) house or flat in the Netherlands? If so, you must pay onroerendezaakbelasting OZB (property tax). You do not have to be registered in a municipality for this.
How much OZB you have to pay depends on the:
- value of the property;
- the OZB rates that apply in your municipality.
The municipality determines the value of your business premises every year on January 1st. This is the waardering onroerende zaken WOZ (valuation of your immovable property).
The following rates apply in the municipality of Hof van Twente:
OZB owner (dwellings): 0,1117% of the WOZ
Payment
You receive the OZB assessment from your municipality every year. The assessment also states how you must pay. And by what date this has to be done.
OZB exemption
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 . Whether you are entitled to remission depends on your income and the assets of you and your partner, if any. You can apply for an exemption via: www.hofvantwente.nl/gemeentelijke-belastingen/kwijtschelding.
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 January 1st. You will not have to pay the OZB for your new home. It is usually settled with the new owners via the notary.
The assessment states the WOZ value of your immovable property and how much property tax you must pay. It also states how you can object.
