Sale of property

How it works

If you sell your property during the year, you are obliged to pay the water system levy and, if applicable, the road levy in full.

The situation on January 1 determines the entire year. This year, you will therefore pay for the property you owned on January 1.

However, the tax amount is usually settled by the notary with the buyer. The buyer pays a proportionate share. You can find this on the settlement statement you receive at the time of transfer. You then pay the total tax amount to us.

If you use direct debit, the monthly payments will usually continue into the following year. This is because we only impose the tax assessment during the course of the year and we want to give you time to pay the amount.

If you no longer wish to use direct debit, you must withdraw your authorisation. You can easily do this via mijnhhnk.nl. You will then need to transfer the remaining amount in one go.

How do you determine my WOZ value?

We receive this information from the municipality. This is required by law.

Do you disagree with the WOZ value of your home or commercial property? If so, you must lodge an objection with your municipality. If the municipality reduces the WOZ value, we will automatically incorporate this into the water board tax assessment.
