Different collection rates decided
No additional property tax burden
Due to the property tax reform that will take effect next year, the Beckum town council decided on new, differentiated assessment rates for property tax at its last meeting. The aim is to keep property tax revenue stable for the city. Additional revenue is expressly not the aim.
From 2025, the assessment rate for property tax B in the town of Beckum will be 607 per cent for residential buildings and 1,110 percentage points for non-residential buildings following a unanimous council resolution. The rate for property tax A is 331 per cent. All assessment rates correspond exactly to the revenue-neutral assessment rates published by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
This differentiation is not intended to place an additional burden on the residents of Beckum when it comes to housing. Standardised assessment rates would have meant an additional burden of over 1 million euros for residential properties in Beckum.
How the property tax is calculated in detail depends on the respective tax assessment amount. This tax assessment amount was determined by the tax office, without the City of Beckum being able to influence it. Due to its amount, property tax may be higher or lower than in the previous year. Only the Beckum tax office's property tax hotline (02521 25-1959 or www.grundsteuer.nrw.de) can clarify questions about the tax assessment amount.
As in previous years, the property tax notices will be sent out to Beckum households at the end of January.
