Municipality of Houten: paying the sewage charge
Please note: you only have to pay rioolheffing (sewage charge) if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
Sewerage charges go through the BghU
Payment
By letter
You will receive a letter from your local Belastingsamenwerking (municipal and waterboard taxation collaboration) of BghU stating the amount of the sewage charge. The letter will state how and by what date you must pay.
Paying on time
Pay on time to avoid having to pay extra charges.
Exemption
You can ask the municipality whether you are entitled to an exemption in respect of (part of) the charge. That is referred to as kwijtschelding.
Do you disagree with the sewage charge? You can object via the BghU
