Municipality of Amsterdam: paying the sewage charge
Property owners pay a fixed rate for a sewer connection. High-volume users (>300 m³ water annually) pay depending on the amount of water they use.
The owners of residential properties, houseboats and business premises pay sewerage charges for their connection to the sewer. The fixed rate for owners is € 185.20 annually per independent property (residence, boat or premises). The tax assessment will be sent to the resident(s) of the property.
Sewerage charges for high-volume users
Users (owners or tenants) of a building pay a separate rate for sewerage charges if they are high-volume users: more than 300 m³ water annually. An average household uses 135 m³ annually.
If you are a high-volume user as well as the owner of the premises, you will have to pay both the owner component and the high-volume user component.
