Property value and appraisal report
The municipality establishes the property value (WOZ-waarde) for your residential property or commercial property every year. This property value is the basis for various taxes. The value is stated on the assessment for municipal taxes which you get from the municipality each year.
The property value (WOZ-waarde) is the estimated amount that your residential property or commercial property would get on a fixed date: the valuation reference date. For the 2024 tax year the valuation reference date is 1 January 2023. The municipality uses the property value to calculate the property tax (OZB). Other organisations which use the property value are:
- the Tax Administration (Belastingdienst)
- the water board
- mortgage lenders
- landlords
To determine the property value the municipality looks at:
- the selling prices around the valuation reference date
- the rental prices (form commercial properties)
- the characteristics of your residential property or business property. Such as: the type of property, the date of construction and the size.
Accounting document
The municipality draws up an accounting document every year. You can read how the municipality calculated the property values for 2024 (valuation reference date of 1 January 2023).

(PDF, 69.9 KB)The appraisal report shows how the property value was determined. For example, the year of construction, the surface area and the type of property. The report also contains the selling prices and the property values for at least 3 other properties. This is how the municipality compares your property to other homes on the market which were sold around the valuation reference date. The properties do not need to be exactly the same. The municipality takes the differences in account in the appraisal.
