Property tax reform
On this page we would like to inform you about the property tax reform, the new assessment rates and the property tax to be paid from 2025.
The valuation of the developed and undeveloped properties was carried out by the tax authorities of the state of Lower Saxony on the basis of your property tax return. The municipalities were not involved in this process.
The municipalities are only obliged to publish the revenue-neutral assessment rate for property tax B, i.e. the assessment rate at which the tax revenue in 2025 would be the same as in the previous year. The municipalities in the Neuenhaus joint municipality have all already adopted the new assessment rates. These are as follows:
Real tax rates from 2025
| Property tax A | Property tax B | |
|---|---|---|
| Municipality of Getelo | 205 | 205 |
| Municipality of Gölenkamp | 225 | 225 |
| Municipality of Halle | 245 | 245 |
| Municipality of Itterbeck | 250 | 250 |
| Municipality of Uelsen | 375 | 375 |
| Municipality of Wielen | ||
| Municipality of Wilsum | 240 | 240 |
