Municipality of Reimerswaal: 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 1 January [or other date]. This is the waardering onroerende zaken WOZ (valuation of your home or holiday home). The municipality uses the WOZ value from the previous year to determine the amount of OZB due.
The following rates apply in the municipality of Reimerswaal: https://www.sabewazeeland.nl/tarieven-gemeente-reimerswaal-2022
Payment
You receive the annual OZB assessment from Sabewa Zeeland each year. That assessment specifies the amount that you have to pay.
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: https://www.sabewazeeland.nl/kwijtschelding?origin=/kwijtscheldingen
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. You can do so via https://www.sabewazeeland.nl/bezwaar-maken.
