Who receives the tax assessment with sewerage charge?
There are two types of sewerage charge; one for owners and one for users.
Owners
It concerns owners of properties with a connection to the sewerage system. Directly or otherwise.
Users
Users are owners or tenants of a property. How much you have to pay depends on the volume of waste water to be taken away from your property each year. You will only receive an assessment if the volume of waste water exceeds 250 m3 of water per year.
If you sell
Does your property change ownership? Then the person listed as the owner on January 1st has to pay the full amount of this charge. You will nog get a refund. The notary usually does settle part of the taxes with the new owner.
If you relocate
Are you relocating to another municipality?
Then you will have to pay up to the moving date. This is only possible for the users' share. We will send you a letter informing you about this.
Are you relocating within the municipality of Nijkerk?
Then nothing will change this year. Next year you will receive an assessment for your new address.
Is remission possible?
Are you unable to pay this charge? Then you can request remission for the owners' share.
