Questions about your WOZ value? Contact the municipality first!
Do you have a question about your tax assessment, the WOZ value, or the valuation report? Do you notice something that doesn’t seem correct? Call us about it. Often, we can quickly resolve any ambiguities or errors.
House prices have been rising for years. Last year was no exception, with homes selling for more than their asking price. To determine the WOZ value, we look at the final amounts paid for properties. This also affects the WOZ values of homes.
Valuation date
For the WOZ value, we always consider the price your home could fetch a year earlier. This is called the valuation date. Your WOZ value for 2026 is based on the valuation date of 1 January 2025.
Filing an objection via a specialized agency or real estate agent
No-cure-no-pay agencies and real estate agents frequently advertise their services as advocates for your interests, offering to file a free objection. It’s important to know that if the objection is upheld, the municipality must pay a fee. This leads to higher tax rates, which you, as a resident, ultimately bear.
