Reminder for change of ownership of a property

Have you sold/acquired a property and received a reminder for the current property taxes?

The reason for this is that the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer is not informed of the sale by notaries or the land registry office of the local court. The decisive factor here is the transfer of the valuation office of the tax office. The new tax assessment of the property at the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer only takes place with the transfer.

Property tax

In accordance with Section 22 of the Valuation Act, a new assessment is made by the tax office regarding the attribution of the property in the event of a change of ownership. The date of this so-called attribution update is the beginning of the calendar year following the change.

This means that the obligation to pay property tax in the year of the change of law remains in place until December 31. The tax liability of the purchaser of the property only begins on January 1 of the following year.

Waste disposal fees and street cleaning fees

The purchaser's obligation to pay fees begins with the month following the transfer of ownership. The seller remains liable to pay fees until the end of the previous month.
