Municipalities levy, among other things, property tax (OZB) on home owners, a sewerage charge and a waste charge. Together they make up most of the local housing costs.
These are budgeted revenues per inhabitant according to CBS, not the bill of one household. What you pay depends on the WOZ value of your home, your household size and whether you own or rent. Tenants don’t pay OZB on their home; the landlord does.
In tourist municipalities, such as the Wadden islands, owners of second homes and holiday parks also pay. That makes the charges per inhabitant look higher than what a regular household pays.
