Owners
The primary owner in the Land Registry Office’s system. If the same person also lives in the same home, the resident tax is also sent to this person. The
municipal authorities determine the exact name stated on the tax bill. If the
name is not correct, you can ask the municipal authorities to correct the name.
Heirs:
After a person’s death, his/her heirs are responsible for payment of the tax bill. The RBG adds ‘heirs’ to the person’s name on the tax bill. If the name is changed in the Land Registry Office system, the RBG can change the name on the tax bill. This is an automatic process. Were you the partner and also co-owner? Then you can request to change the name to your name for the next year.
Divorce:
If the home was allocated to your ex partner in a divorce, please notify the Land Registry Office accordingly. This is the only way to ensure that the RBG can change the name on the next tax bill. This is an automatic process. We receive the changed details from the Land Registry Office.
