Worms threatens the highest property tax in Rhineland-Palatinate: 820 percent in sight!

In a dramatic turning point for the residents of Worms, the impending danger of a leaking increase in property tax B in the air! The current rate of 633 percent already catapults Worms to the top of all independent cities in Rhineland-Palatinate. But the situation could get worse soon, because the city administration warns that the sentence could increase to shocking 820 percent! Homeowners in particular could be extremely stressed because they can pass on the costs to the tenants!

What is behind this alarming development? A new evaluation reform for property tax, which comes into force in 2025, leads to significant losses in value for business plots and thus to a lower contribution to the total volume of the city. However, the Federal Ministry of Finance demands that the municipalities have to remain “as newly” despite these changes. As a result, the city of Worms is forced to raise the tax on residential plots again.

appeal to the state government

The city administration now urges the voice and appeals to the state government to take measures in order to avert the enormous burden on apartment owners. Together with other cities, Worms demands a reform of the country -specific tax measurement figures, which has so far been missed. The city clearly explains: "A disturbance of living space and the associated additional burden on citizens must be prevented by state law regulations!" Options such as the introduction of hardship control or a distinction between living and commercial real estate are in the room. But time is urged and the decision -makers have to act quickly to avert the impending increase in tax!

While the Worms committees have not yet moved into a clear position on this critical situation, it remains exciting which steps are taken next. The clock ticks and the future of property tax in Worms is anything but clear!
