Sewerage fee
What is it?
The sewerage fee is a municipal tax you pay for services such as the use of the sewer system. Homeowners and business owners are required to pay this tax. The municipality uses the revenue from the sewerage fee for: the collection and disposal of wastewater; the costs associated with the collection and disposal of rainwater, snow, and hail; and the maintenance of facilities such as retention ponds, wadi channels, and drainage systems.
On January 1, the municipality will decide whether you will receive a tax assessment for that year. You will then receive this assessment from the BSR. If you sell your home or business to another owner during the year, this will not affect the taxation for that year. This is usually settled by the notary at the time of the sale.
