New property tax rates in Heinsberg: What you need to know now!

Heinsberg, Deutschland - In Heinsberg, a new property tax rate will be introduced from January 1, 2025. This measure was decided by the city council and deals with the legal requirements and local events. The background is the comprehensive reform of property tax that aims to re -evaluate land and real estate. This reassessment is based on information that had to be transmitted to the financial administration by the owners.

Mayor Kai Louis emphasizes that the proportion of property tax measurements in the category of residential property increases, while the proportion of non -residential plots decreases. A current analysis shows that the proportion of residential plots, which include single -family houses, rental houses and condominiums, increases from 64.73 percent to 74.87 percent. In contrast, the proportion of non -residential property drops from 35.27 percent to 25.13 percent.

New lifting rate promotes targeted tax adjustments

The state of North Rhine-Westphalia has published a list of lifting rates for all municipalities that are intended to ensure a new amount of this property tax reform. This means that after the reform in 2025, the city of Heinsberg should generate approximately the same tax revenue as before. However, it is important to note that the recurrence -neutral lifting rates do not necessarily mean a constant individual tax burden.

Given the ancillary housing costs increased in recent years and the change in the property and rental market, Louis emphasizes the need to counteract an additional cost burden. He explains: "The differentiated lifting rates are therefore a suitable instrument to stabilize the overall overall burden on the residential property and to avoid an underlying property tax burden for the important social good as possible."

The property tax reform is also considered urgently necessary after the previous evaluation procedure has been declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court. The reform aims to enable a fairer and constitutional assessment of the property. This remains a decisive challenge for the city administration in Heinsberg.

The implementation of this reform is seen by many as a step in the right direction to make the housing market more fairer and to secure the quality of life of the citizens. It remains to be seen how these measures will have a concrete effect, especially with regard to the individual tax burdens of the owners.
