Municipality Helmond: Property tax (OZB)
As the owner of an immovable property, you pay property tax (OZB). Examples of immovable property include houses, shops, office premises and garage boxes. For business premises, among others, the user of the property also pays property tax. This is not the case with houses.
The municipality determines the amount of the OZB on 1 January. This is done on the basis of the WOZ value of your property. If you buy a new house halfway through a year, you pay the OZB for that entire year for the old house. For the new property, you do not yet pay any OZB in that year. The notary often settles these amounts. You can find more information in the related product ‘WOZ-description (Wet waardering onroerende zaken)’ at the bottom of the page. Via the link under ‘forms’ you can request a digital assessment report.
In Helmond, there is a municipality-wide Entrepreneurs Fund, for which the OZB for non-residential properties is increased by a surcharge of approximately 8%. All parties who contribute to this fund can apply to Stichting Ondernemersfonds. You can read more on the website of Ondernemersfonds Helmond.
How do we calculate this tax?
The amount of OZB to be paid depends on the value of the home, building or plot you are a user or owner of and the level of the ozb rates. There are 3 different rates.
| Rates | 2024 |
|---|---|
| Owners of houses | 0,1262% |
| Owners of non-residential properties | 0,2673% |
| Users of non-residential property | 0,2156% |
The tax is a % of the WOZ value. The WOZ value is determined each year by the municipality.
Example:You own a home with a WOZ value of €350,000. For this, you pay property tax Owner-Occupied House of: € 350,000,- * 0.1262% = € 441.50.
