Taxes

Digital tax assessment

As a resident of Opsterland, do you still receive your municipal tax assessment on paper? If so, you can choose to receive assessments digitally. 

WOZ value and valuation

Every year, the municipality assesses the value of your house, business premises or land. This is called the WOZ value. The WOZ value is the basis for determining the property tax (OZB) to be paid. And costs of the state and water board. The WOZ value, which the municipality determines, is the value that the house or other immovable property had on January 1 of the year before the beginning of the tax year.

WOZ value desk

The municipality has a legal obligation to give you insight into the WOZ values of all homes. The National Provision WOZ (LV WOZ) is the national office for viewing WOZ values. The office gives you online insight into the WOZ values of homes throughout the Netherlands.

Making payment arrangements?

You can pay your tax bill by direct debit. But you can also pay the amount in installments. 

Objecting municipal taxes and/or WOZ value

You may disagree with a municipal tax you have to pay or with the WOZ value of your commercial property or plot. You can file an objection.
