The Property Owners’ Association Haus & Grund is calling on property owners without a property tax assessment to not pay the tax in the next year first. “The old property tax is unconstitutional, it must not be paid from January 1, 2025 onwards”, said Association President Kai Warnecke to the “Bild” (Thursday edition).
“Those who still have not received a new property tax assessment must therefore pay no property tax for the time being.” This would also prevent later disputes with authorities over possible reimbursements. Warnecke called on people to “cancel the standing order or revoke the direct debit authorization”.
According to Warnecke, around two-thirds of property owners currently still do not know how high their property tax will be in the next year. The association president also warned to build up reserves, as the property tax will have to be paid later on.
