Municipality Woensdrecht: 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.
The municipality determines the value of your business premises every year on 1 January [or other date]. This is the waardering onroerende zaken WOZ (valuation of your home or holiday home). The municipality uses the WOZ value from the previous year to determine the amount of OZB due.
Payment
You receive the annual OZB assessment from Belastingsamenwerking West-Brabant each year. That assessment specifies the amount that you have to pay. More information can be found at this page. You must pay that amount within 6 weeks. You may protest at Belastingsamenwerking West-Brabant.
Are you unable to pay the amount all at once? Apply for remission at Belastingsamenwerking West-Brabant.
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 Belastingsamenwerking West-Brabant.
