  • Service description

    Property tax is a municipal tax that is levied on property located in the municipal area.
    If you are the owner of a property, you must pay property tax, known as property tax B. You will receive a property tax assessment notice from the municipality.
    Property tax is assessed in a two-stage procedure for the property type "Grundvermögen". The basis for the property tax assessment notice is the property tax assessment amount, which is determined by the tax office and set by notice.
    The tax assessment amount multiplied by the assessment rate then results in the property tax to be paid.
    The assessment rate is set by the municipality by means of bylaws.
    Changes to the legal or actual circumstances of the property only have an effect on property tax in the following year. For example, if you sell your property, the new owner will only be liable for property tax from the following year. You also only have to pay the increased property tax for the development of your previously undeveloped property in the following year.
    Under certain circumstances, you may be exempt from paying property tax. This is the case, for example, if you are a non-profit organisation and the property is used exclusively and directly for non-profit purposes. However, exemption is generally not possible if the property is used for agricultural, forestry or residential purposes. You can apply for exemption from property tax at the tax office.
    In special cases, it is possible to waive the property tax. For example, if you own property whose preservation is in the public interest due to its significance for art, history, science or nature conservation, you can apply to the local authority for a remission of the tax if the income generated is generally less than the annual costs.

  • Prerequisites

  • Which documents are required?

    The basis for the tax assessment and collection is determined by the relevant tax office when the property tax assessment amount is determined. The documents required for the assessment must already be submitted in the property tax assessment procedure there.
    If you wish to apply for a remission, please contact your local authority to find out in which form and with which documents this should be done.

  • What deadlines do I have to observe?

    A quarter of the annual amount of property tax is due on 15 February, 15 May, 15 August and 15 November.
    The local authorities may decide that small amounts are due in one annual instalment or in half annual instalments.
    In addition, the tax can also be paid in one annual amount on 1 July at your request.
