Municipality of Rijssen-Holten: 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. 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 Rijssen-Holten:
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.
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 your assessment or with the WOZ value? Then you can object. We recommend that you first contact the tax authorities. Have you not reached an agreement with one of our employees and do you still want to object? Then you can object within 6 weeks of the date of the assessment or decision.
Make a written objection
You can also object in writing. Make sure that you send your notice of objection to the municipality of Rijssen-Holten within 6 weeks of the date stated on the assessment, for the attention of the municipal levies employee. In any case, mention:
- name and address;
- date of the notice of objection;
- to which you object;
- why you object;
- your signature;
- the telephone number where you can be reached during the day.
