Property tax assessed value Declaration and notification obligations
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe assessed value up to 31.12.2024 / property tax value on the main assessment date 01.01.2022 (with tax effect from 01.01.2025), together with the statutory tax assessment figure, forms the basis for the property tax assessment amount. This entry explains the declaration/notification obligations in connection with the determination of the assessed value/property tax value.
The assessed value until 31.12.2024 / property tax value with tax effect from 01.01.2025 is determined by the locally responsible tax office on the respective main assessment date.
For periods prior to 01.01.2025, the assessed value determined according to the value conditions on 01.01.1964 forms the basis for the property tax assessment amount.
The property tax value to be determined for the first time on the main assessment date of 01.01.2022 forms the basis for the property tax assessment amount from 01.01.2025.
The determination of the property tax assessment amount is usually combined with the determination of the unit value/property tax value. This means that, as a rule, you will only receive one document containing both the property tax assessment amount and the unit value/property tax value.Irrespective of this, these are two independent administrative acts, each of which can be contested separately.
Please contact the tax office responsible for you.
