Paying municipal taxes

Every year, residents, owners of a home or non-home and users of a non-home pay municipal taxes. You will receive 1 overview (assessment notice) with the amounts that you have to pay. This may concern property tax (OZB), sewage tax and waste tax. You can pay the municipal taxes in 2 ways: in installments or in 1 go. It may happen that, for example, your WOZ value was not yet known when the assessment was imposed. You will then receive this later in the year.

  • If you already participate in the continuous direct debit, you will see on the assessment notice which amount and on which date the amount will be debited from your account.
  • On the assessment notice you can see which amount and on which date the amount will be debited from your account
  • If you cannot pay on time, you can request a payment arrangement at the Digital Tax Desk

What do you have to do

By direct debit

  • Payment is made by automatic debit in 10 parts
  • If you've previously authorized direct debit, you don't need to do anything
  • On the assessment notice you can see which amount and on which date the amount will be debited from your account
  • You arrange the activation and deactivation of payment in parts via the Digital Tax Desk† You need your DigiD or eHerkenning for this
  • You can also change your bank account number in the Digital Tax Desk.

Payment scheme

If you are unable to pay the assessment on time, request a payment arrangement.

  • Via Digital Tax Desk† You need your DigiD or eHerkenning for this
  • By email: taxes@hilversum.nl
  • Or you can send your request to:
    • Municipality of Hilversum
      To the Collection Department

  • After the application for a payment arrangement you will receive a letter from us
  • The letter contains the new agreements about payment
  • It is also possible that your request is rejected. You must then pay the total assessment amount within 30 days

Request, change or stop direct debit

You can change or stop the direct debit authorization via the Digital Tax Counter . You can also change your account number via the Digital Tax Counter . Please ensure that you enter your IBAN bank number when filling in the form. Every assessment sent is linked to one specific person. Only that person can request, change, or stop the direct debit authorization.

Failed direct debit (reversal)

  • If it is not possible to write off the monthly amount, the direct debit will fail. This is called a reversal. If this happens, you will receive a letter from us stating that the terms will be increased so that the outstanding amount will still be paid on time.
  • In the case of a 3rd cancellation, the direct debit will be stopped. You must pay the amount that is still outstanding for this assessment in one go. You will receive a letter about this. In the case of a new assessment, you must register again for the direct debit. This can be done via the Digital Tax Desk
  • If you do not know why the debit failed, you can ask your bank.

Depreciation failed

Transfer the amount to us as soon as possible. This can be done to account number NL22 BNGH 0285 1073 05, stating your assessment number. You can find the assessment number on the assessment notice. The municipality will then automatically debit the amount for the following month.

Payment scheme

If you can no longer pay every month and are also unable to pay in one lump sum, you can apply for a payment arrangement or remission via the Digital Tax Counter.

Request for payment in installments

You can submit a request for payment in installments. This is possible up to 12 months after receiving the assessment. This is also possible after a reminder or writ of execution. You will then have less time to pay. The amount that the municipality debits each month will then be higher.

Date of depreciation

It is not possible to change the date on which we debit the amount. 

Account number

You can provide a maximum of 1 account number per subject. You can view the account number you have provided in the Digital Tax Counter.
