Commencement of new tax policies for properties begins
The federal government and the states have developed a new property tax reform, with the transition period ending on December 31, 2024. As of January 1, 2025, the new property tax has been in effect in the city of Passau.
On December 2, 2024, the city council set the tax rates for the new property tax. Property tax A will be taxed at a rate of 300%, while property tax B will be taxed at a rate of 375%.
The city of Passau has started sending out notices for the new property tax calculation, with approximately 25,000 notices being sent out on January 10, 2025. The amount of property tax to be paid is shown on the individual notice, which will be sent to the owners from today.
If you have any questions about the new property tax, visit www.our website/property tax for more information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you believe there is an error in the notice, such as incorrect area measurements, you should contact the responsible tax office to have it checked.
It is important to note that the previous basis of the property tax was declared unconstitutional due to outdated unit values. The new calculation method is based solely on the size of the property and the buildings on it, regardless of their location or value. The municipalities set individual tax rates, which are multiplied by the measured value determined by the tax office.
If you object to the property tax, and your objection is successful, any overpaid amounts will be refunded. It is crucial to pay the set property tax on time to avoid any penalties.
The introduction of the new property tax in Passau was initiated by a ruling from the Federal Constitutional Court on April 10, 2018. The Free State of Bavaria also introduced a state-specific regulation for the new property tax calculation.
For those who are curious, the search results do not contain information on the name of the responsible person who set the property tax rates in the city council of Passau on December 2, 2024. Nonetheless, homeowners in Passau are encouraged to pay attention to their notices and take any necessary actions to ensure they are compliant with the new property tax regulations.
