As a tenant, you may be charged various local taxes and levies imposed by the municipality. These costs are separate from the rent and are collected directly by the municipality.
Common levies include:
Waste collection levy: for collecting and processing household waste.
Sewerage charge: for the maintenance and management of the sewer system.
Water authority tax: for water management and purification.
Once a year you will receive an assessment notice from the municipality. This notice explains how and within which period you must make payment.
Visit your municipality’s website for the current rates, payment options and instructions on how to submit an objection online.
