Municipality of Vijfheerenlanden: 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 does not make any distinction between the owner and the user. Account is taken of how much water you consume on an annual basis.
The following rates apply:
Tot 300 m3: € 168,00
301-600 m3: € 336,00
601-900 m3: € 504,00
(rates 2025)
Payment
You will receive a letter from the municipality stating the amount of the sewage charge. The letter will state how and by what date you must pay.
Are you unable to pay the amount all at once? If so, you can pay in parts: you request a direct debit and the municipality debits the amount from your bank account in parts.
More information about this can be found on the page Aanslag betalen (in Dutch).
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 (up to 300m3). That is referred to as kwijtschelding.
More information about this can be found on the page Kwijtschelding gemeentebelastingen (in Dutch).
Do you disagree with the sewage charge? If so, you can lodge a complaint. You can do so via the page Bezwaar tegen belastingen of WOZ-beschikking (in Dutch).
