Property tax rate
In Germany, municipalities impose a property tax (Grundsteuer) on real estate, which is determined by the property’s assessed value. The rates differ from one municipality to another, and specific properties might qualify for exemptions. Non-residents face the same tax responsibilities as residents, and there may be situations in which tax returns are necessary.
