WOZ Property Values Rise 10.6% Nationwide With Stark Local Differences

The new WOZ notices reflect market prices as of 1 January 2025 under oversight by the Waarderingskamer.

Overview

  • Pekela records the steepest increase at 20.7%, while Sluis sees just 2.3%.
  • In Gelderland, Zevenaar climbs 15.8% and Renkum 15.7%, topping the province, according to the Waarderingskamer.
  • In the Rijnmond region, roughly half of municipalities rise faster than the national average and half slower, regional data show.
  • Municipalities set property tax (OZB) rates independently, and Zevenaar cut its 2026 rate to 0.1193% from 0.1333%.
  • Homeowners are receiving 2026 assessments now, can file objections, and historically fewer than 3% do so with even fewer appeals, as an owner on Goeree-Overflakkee contests a 28% jump.
