Municipality of Westland: paying the sewage charge
When determining the sewerage charge, the municipality distinguishes between a user and the owner of the property. The sewerage charge therefore consists of an owner's part and a user's part.
There are 2 sewerage rates. Every owner or user of a piece of land pays sewerage and water management charges each year. This ensures the construction, maintenance, and replacement of the sewer system. We also ensure the processing of wastewater, rainwater, and groundwater. Therefore, you also pay sewerage and water management charges if your piece of land is not connected to the sewer system.
You only need to pay sewerage charges if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
The following rates apply:

A fixed amount without taken into account the value of the land (the plot) according to the Implementation Regulation exempted objects WOZ. This amount is €228.24.

| Non-residential (e.g. office or commercial property) | 0.0442% of the WOZ value |

Payment
By mail
The overview showing how much sewerage and water management charge you have to pay is called a municipal tax assessment notice. You usually receive this overview in the second half of February by post. The letter explains how to pay and by what date.

You must always pay each assessment within two months. The due dates are stated on your tax assessment notice. These are called expiry dates. Please ensure that you have paid the amount before or on the specified due date. Keep in mind that the bank may take a few days to process your payment. If you pay after the final due date, you will incur additional charges.
