  • Service description

    Property tax is a municipal tax that is levied on property located in the municipal area.
    If you are the owner of agricultural and forestry land, you must pay property tax for this - the so-called property tax A. You will receive a property tax assessment notice from the municipality.
    Property tax is assessed in a three-stage procedure. The property tax assessment notice is based on the property tax value determined by the tax office in accordance with the Valuation Act. This value in turn forms the basis for the property tax assessment amount.
    The tax assessment amount multiplied by the assessment rate forms the tax to be paid. The assessment rate is set by the municipality by means of bylaws. The assessment rate for agricultural and forestry assets may differ from that for real estate.
    Under certain conditions, you can apply to the municipality for a partial remission of the tax if the normal gross profit is reduced by more than fifty per cent and other conditions are met.
    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.

  • Procedure

    After the tax office has issued a property tax value and property tax assessment notice, the municipality will issue you with a notice of assessment of property tax A on this basis. This notice may contain the assessment of property tax for one calendar year or, if applicable, for several calendar years.
    If the same tax is to be paid in the future as in the previous year, the municipality can also set the property tax by public notice.
    Property tax must be paid in accordance with the specified payment dates.
