Notifications arrive at the end of January

After the council of the city of Beckum decided on new tax rates in December due to the reform, the city treasury and tax department is currently preparing to send out the property tax notices. And that involves a lot of work:

The tax office had set a new tax assessment amount for each property. The tax office then transmitted over 20,000 data records electronically to the city of Beckum. For the most part, the data was automatically assigned to the properties recorded in the municipal software. However, the property tax reform resulted in numerous changes that required manual reworking and reallocation.

Even though the 4 responsible employees in the specialised service have been working intensively for months on the implementation of the property tax reform, it is possible that not all of the adjustments obtained by the owners from the tax office have yet been taken into account. This will be done gradually. The town of Beckum asks for your understanding in this regard.

Rates of assessment
From 2025, the rate of assessment for property tax B in the town of Beckum will be 607 per cent for residential buildings and 1,110 per cent for non-residential buildings. The rate for property tax A (agricultural and forestry land) is 331 per cent.

Tax assessment amount
How the property tax is calculated in detail and whether there is an increase or decrease compared to the previous year depends on the individual tax assessment amount. The town of Beckum has no influence on this. The Beckum tax office has set up a property tax hotline for this purpose: 02521 25-1959. Further information can be found at www.grundsteuer.nrw.de.

Annual notice with fees
As usual, the annual notice due at the end of January will also contain the fees for waste and wastewater disposal and water maintenance, among other things.
