How do I benefit if my WOZ value is reduced after an objection?
Did we reduce the WOZ value after you successfully lodged an objection? Then GBLT will adjust the tax assessment. The excess amount you have paid will be refunded to your account. We will send you a letter explaining these adjustments.
By how much will my tax assessment be reduced?
The reduction in your tax assessment depends on several things. Such as the amount of your WOZ value, to what extent the WOZ value is reduced and the municipality where you live.
An example:
You own a house in the municipality of Zwolle. Your WOZ value was € 350,000. You lodge an objection and GBLT agrees with you. Your WOZ value is reduced by €20,000 to €330,000.
The property tax in Zwolle in 2023 is 0.0947% of your WOZ value.
The water system charge "built-on land inside the dikes" is 0.0392% of your WOZ value. After the reduction you will have to pay € 18.94 less property tax and € 7.84 less water system charge.
Do you want to calculate the amounts yourself?
Use the amount by which the WOZ value is reduced. In the example, this is € 20,000. Multiply this by the applicable tax rates. For the municipality of Zwolle, the rates are 0.0947% and 0.0392%. The calculation is then € 20,000 X 0.0947% = €18.94 for the property tax and € 20,000 x 0.0392% = €7.84 for the water system charge.
