Water system levy

From the water system levy we pay the costs of dikes, dunes, pumping stations and locks, among other things. It also covers water quality.

Here's how it works

The water system levy consists of four categories, namely:

Users

You pay water system levy users if you are a resident of a housing unit on January 1. This levy is the same for every housing unit. For the amount of the assessment, it does not matter how many residents a house has and what the value of the house is.

Want to know more about the water system levy users when you move or die? If so, see the page Moving house or the page Death.

Built owners

You pay water system levy built if you are the owner of a home or (business) property in our area on January 1. We calculate the levy by multiplying the WOZ value by the rate.

Unowned owners

You pay water system levy if you own undeveloped land on January 1. The surface area of the undeveloped land determines the amount of the assessment. We receive the information about the surface area from the Land Registry.

Unbuilt nature owners

You pay water system levy if you own natural land on January 1. The surface area of the undeveloped land determines the amount of the assessment. We receive the information about the surface area from the Land Registry.
