Municipality of Venlo: 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.
Belastingsamenwerking Gemeenten en Waterschappen (BsGW) 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). BsGW uses the WOZ value from the previous year to determine the amount of OZB due.
Payment
You receive the annual OZB assessment from Belastingsamenwerking Gemeenten en Waterschappen (BsGW) 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 BsGW will debit the amount from your bank account in 10 instalments;
- request a payment plan from BsGW.
OZB relief
Are you unable to pay the amount in the OZB assessment? You can ask BsGW whether you are entitled to an exemption for (part of) the amount. That exemption is referred to as 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 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 at BsGW.
