Municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch: paying the sewage charge

Please note. You only have to pay sewage charges if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.  

Every owner and/or user of a property pays sewage charges. With this, the municipality pays, among other things, for the collection and transport of household and industrial waste water. 

We reduce sewage charges if you move house or die. You (or the heirs) do not have to submit a request to this effect. 

Municipal tax assessment

You usually receive the assessment of municipal taxes at the end of February. There are several ways to pay the assessment. Pay in time to avoid paying extra. 

Exemption

If your income and assets are low, you may not have to pay the assessment. You can ask the municipality if you do not have to pay (part of) the assessment. This is called exemption. 

Objection

Is the sewage tax assessment not correct or do you disagree with it? File an objection within 6 weeks.

You will automatically receive a postponement of payment for the amount you object to.
