Valuation of real estate (WOZ)

Owners and users of a property, property or plot will receive a WOZ decision. This decision shows the value of your property or your land. WOZ stands for valuation of real estate. The WOZ value is used, among other things, to calculate the water tax, real estate tax and the self-catering mortgage. The value of your home or piece of land may change. For example by a renovation or by demolition.

Conditions

The WOZ value applies to one tax year. If you move over the course of the year, you can retrieve the WOZ value of your new home.

Approach

Want to know how the WOZ value has been determined? Or do you need a copy of your WOZ decision? Then you can request a tax report or a copy of the WOZ decision via the link below. DigiD is required for this.  You will then receive an online form from the Digital Municipal Office. You can only request a tax report if you are the owner or user. 

You can also make an appointment with the city hall. Make an appointment online for a copy of the WOZ decision (Dutch only).

To request a copy of the WOZ decision you need:

  • A valid ID
  • A copy of the (provisional) purchase deed if you have recently become an owner

Costs

Requesting a tax report or a copy of the WOZ fee is free.

Objection

If you disagree with the valuation of your property, property or plot (WOZ), you may object. You must submit your objection within 6 weeks of the date on your tax assessment. You can object to:

  • The amount of your tax bill

  • The WOZ value of your property

  • Other municipal taxes

You will need your assessment letter and a clear explanation of why you disagree. You may submit your objection online or in writing.

In some cases, such as deregistering your dog for dog tax purposes, you do not need to file an official objection. You can simply use the deregistration form for that purpose.

Caution: Commercial objection agencies

You may come across commercial agencies that offer to file your objection for free, often using a "no cure, no pay" model. While this might seem convenient, the municipality must pay these agencies a legal compensation fee, even if you could have filed the objection easily yourself.

These costs are paid from public funds and ultimately affect all residents. That's why we encourage you to submit your objection yourself—it’s free, straightforward, and saves public money.
