Public announcement of the city of Idar-Oberstein
on the determination of property tax A and B, street cleaning fees and Chamber of Agriculture contributions for the calendar year 2026
At its meeting on 17.12.2025, the city council of Idar-Oberstein set the following rates of assessment for property tax and street cleaning fees for the 2026 financial year, which were publicly announced as part of the 2026 budget bylaws on 11.02.2026:
Property tax A | (for agricultural and forestry operations) | 222 v.H. |
Property tax B | (for properties) | 800 v.H. |
Street cleaning | per meter of road frontage |
|
| Cleaning once a week | 1.04 EUR/year |
| Cleaning twice a week | 2.08 EUR/year |
| Cleaning seven times a week | 36.50 EUR/year |
The contribution rate to the Chamber of Agriculture was set unchanged at 200% of the amount of property tax A.
This means that there has been no change compared to the calendar year 2025, meaning that no property tax notices will be issued for the calendar year 2026.
For all those properties whose assessment basis (property tax assessment amounts) has not changed since the last written assessment notice was issued, this public notice therefore increases the property tax A and B in accordance with § 27 Para. 3 of the Property Tax Act, § 4 Para. 3 of the Road Cleaning Fee Statutes and Sections 17 and 18 of the Rhineland-Palatinate Chamber of Agriculture Act, as amended, the property tax A and B, the road cleaning fees and the Chamber of Agriculture contributions for the calendar year 2026 are therefore set at the level last assessed for the calendar year 2025.
The 2026 property levies must continue to be paid to the Idar-Oberstein city treasury on the due dates and with the amounts resulting from the last written property levy notice without any special request.
If there are any changes to the property tax rates or the tax bases (measurement amounts), notices of change will be issued in accordance with Section 27 (2) of the Property Tax Act.
From the date of the public announcement of this tax assessment, the same legal effects shall apply to the taxpayers as if they had received a written tax assessment notice on that date.
Legal remedies:
An objection to this tax and duty assessment may be lodged with the Idar-Oberstein municipal administration, Georg-Maus-Straße 1, 55743 Idar-Oberstein, within one month of notification.
Even if an objection is lodged, the requested amounts must be paid on time.
In accordance with Section 80 (2) sentence 1 VwGO, the objection has no suspensive effect when requesting, among other things, levies; in particular, the payment obligation is not suspended.
