Municipality Krimpenerwaard: Property tax (OZB)
Please note: do you own a (holiday) house or flat 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.
You pay the municipal taxes to the SVHW (Samenwerkingsverband Vastgoedinformatie Heffing en Waardebepaling). SVHW levies and collects local taxes for the municipality of Krimpenerwaard.
Every year, SVHW will send you a letter (assessment) around the end of February. This states what you have to pay in municipal taxes that year. Do you not agree? Then you can object. For more information, visit the SVHW website.
Payment
You must pay the amount within 6 weeks.
Are you unable to pay the amount all at once? If so, you can:
- pay in instalments: request a direct debit, and the municipality will debit the amount from your bank account in instalments (each month);
- request a payment plan from the municipality.
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 commercial building(s)? Or with the OZB? If so, you can object.
