Municipality of Lelystad: 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.
In determining the sewage charge, the municipality makes a distinction between the number of users of the property if the property is used as an house and a high-volume user if the property is not used as an house. The owner of the property which is not used as a house pays a percentage of the WOZ value of the property as a sewagescharge. Therefore 2 sewage rates apply.
The following rates apply:
If the property is a house you pay as an user of the house;
- Eenpersoonshuishouden: € 145,76
- Tweepersoonshuishouden: € 206,21
- Driepersoonshuishouden: € 254,81
- Vierpersoonshuishouden en meer: € 349,42
If the property is not a house, you pay as an owner
Rioolheffing niet-woning eigenaren: 0,0918%
