WOZ value

Every year, the municipality determines the value of homes, business premises and building sites. This value is called the WOZ value. The municipality uses the WOZ value to determine the amount of taxes.

Everyone who owns and/or uses a home, business premises or building site in the municipality of Zoetermeer on January 1 will receive an assessment of municipal taxes for that year. This assessment lists the taxes and the WOZ value of the home, business premises or building site.

How do we calculate your WOZ value of your property?

To explain how a municipality calculates the WOZ value of a home, a video was made by the Valuation Chamber. The Valuation Chamber supervises the municipality's WOZ valuations. Watch the video via:

A new calculation every year

We look at how much your home is worth each year based on homes sold in your neighborhood. So the municipality does not calculate an average increase

What homes are we comparing your property to?

Your appraisal report shows which sold homes we compared your home to. These homes may look different from your home. That's because homes are not sold on your street every year.

To determine your WOZ value, we look at the following characteristics, among others:

  • Area and any associated land. 
  • Location. 
  • Interior and exterior maintenance. 
  • Type.
  • Year built.
  • Outbuildings present.  

Viewing WOZ valuation report

The WOZ valuation report can be viewed at:

MijnBelastingen

As a resident you log in with your DigiD. As a company you log in with eRecognition.

The valuation reports are not public.

View WOZ value via WOZ-waardeloket

  • Through the WOZ-waardeloket you can view the WOZ values of all homes in Dutch municipalities.
  • New WOZ values are added each year.
  • To prevent the counter from being overused, a limit has been placed on the number of homes you may request within a certain period of time.

The Valuation Office only provides information on:

  • the WOZ value
  • the purpose of use
  • land area of the plot
  • the utilization area 
  • the year of construction

You cannot view other information the municipality uses for the assessment report, such as:

  • Whether there are outbuildings
  • the area of the house
  • the area per outbuilding

How do we calculate the WOZ value of your commercial property or building site?

In the absence of comparable sales prices, we determine the WOZ value of a commercial property or building site in a different way. We then use market data, such as rents, construction costs, land prices, sales data and key figures. 

Objection

Do you disagree with the WOZ value? Then you can object via:

MijnBelastingen

The municipality must have received your objection within 6 weeks of the date of the assessment. Check your assessment report before you object to your WOZ value. The assessment report will tell you how your WOZ value was calculated. You will receive a confirmation of receipt within 5 working days.
