Please note: do you own a (holiday) house, flat or business premises in the Netherlands? If so, you must pay onroerendezaakbelasting OZB (property tax). You do not have to be registered in a municipality for this.
How much OZB you have to pay depends on the:
- value of the property;
- the OZB rates that apply in your municipality.
The following rates apply in the municipality of Almelo:
- OZB – owner (business): 0,4342% of the WOZ;
- OZB – user (business): 0,3389% of the WOZ.
Payment
You receive the annual OZB assessment from your municipality each year. That assessment specifies the amount that you have to pay.
OZB relief
Are you unable to pay the amount in the OZB assessment? You can ask the municipality whether you are entitled to an exemption for (part of) the amount. That exemption is referred to as kwijtschelding . You can apply for an exemption via: Kwijtschelding gemeentelijke belastingen | Gemeente Almelo.
OZB after moving house
Are you moving house later in the year? If so, you will still have to pay the OZB amount assessed on 1 January. You will not have to pay the OZB for your new home. It is usually settled with the new owners via the notary.
Do you disagree with the WOZ for your property? Or with the OZB? If so, you can lodge a complaint. You can do so via Bezwaar tegen belasting gemeente | Gemeente Almelo.
