OZB property situation

The municipality of Stichtse Vecht looks at the ownership situation on January 1 of the tax year. If on this date you are the owner of an immovable property and/or the user of a non-residential property, you owe property tax for the entire year. Even if you move and/or sell the immovable property after January 1, you owe OZB for the entire year. If you sell your immovable property during this year, the notary usually settles the owner's tax with the new owner. The OZB user tax is not settled with the new user.

OZB rate differentiation

The differentiation has been introduced because it has been shown nationally that the increase in value of homes is greater than non-residential properties. This is also the case in Stichtse Vecht. Equal rates would lead to an unequal tax burden for residential and non-residential properties. The municipality of Stichtse Vecht therefore has differentiated rates.
