WOZ value
Every year, the municipality determines the value of houses, business premises, stores and unbuilt plots of land. This value is called the WOZ value. The municipality uses the WOZ value to determine the amount of taxes.
Everyone who is the owner and/or user of immovable property within the municipality of Zoetermeer on January 1 receives an assessment of municipal taxes for that year.
How do we calculate your WOZ value?
To explain how the WOZ value is determined, an animated video has been created. The video explains:
- How the WOZ value is determined.
- How to check the WOZ value yourself.
- That the Valuation Chamber oversees.

A new calculation every year
We look at how much your property 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 homes we compared your home to. These homes may look different from your home. This is because homes do not sell on your street every year.
For your WOZ value, the floor area is the most important. But the type of home, year of construction and location are also important in determining the WOZ value.
Viewing WOZ valuation report
You can view the WOZ valuation report 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 houses in Dutch municipalities that are connected to the WOZ-waardeloket.
- 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 WOZ value counter only shows information about:
- the WOZ value
- the area of use
- the year of construction
You cannot view other information the municipality uses for the assessment report, such as:
- content
- Whether there are outbuildings
- the ground surface
Objection
Do you disagree with the WOZ value? Then you can lodge an objection via MijnBelastingen.
The objection must be received by the municipality within 6 weeks from the date of the assessment notice. You will receive a confirmation from us within 5 working days.
By law, the Tax Department will handle your objection by December 31. If this is not possible, the municipality will inform you. Do you file an objection within the last 6 weeks of the calendar year? Then the handling period of 6 weeks applies. This term can be extended by 6 weeks.
Profession
Has the municipality rejected your objection? Then you can often appeal to the court. The municipality's decision will state whether this is possible. You must file your appeal within 6 weeks.
