A fundamental problem with the property tax is that it is complicated and many taxpayers have tackled it themselves under time pressure. Important to know: The actual property tax assessments that state how much you have to pay are not yet being sent out. They won’t come until 2024.
In response to a property tax return that has been submitted, the tax offices currently send out two notifications: property tax value notification and property tax measurement notification. The assessment of value is a so-called basic assessment. Your details will be added up here. The measurement notice, on the other hand, is a follow-up notice because it only uses the result of the property tax assessment for further calculations.
The thing is that the notices mentioned practically form a chain and notices of determination are binding for follow-up notices. You cannot later take action against the property tax assessment if you have found an error in the property tax assessment.
The legislature only provides a very short period of one month after receipt for objecting to the real estate tax assessment.
