In the 2023 budget, annual changes to municipal fees and property tax were adopted as normal.

property tax

Some real estate, such as commercial and recreational properties, receive only municipal appraisal. For housing, the municipality receives the calculated market value (dwelling value) from the Tax Authority for real estate containing this value. The value of the property is determined on the basis of the price per square meter calculated by Statistics Norway (SSB) multiplied by the area of ​​the property (parking room).

Egersund municipality receives the foundation automatically from the Swedish Tax Agency. Please note that the information the municipality receives from the tax authority is from the tax year two years ago. This means that for 2023 property tax, the municipality uses tax information from 2021 that comes from the individual homeowner’s 2021 tax return.

By March 1st, Egersund municipality will send a tax receipt (property tax decision) to taxable property owners. The tax receipt contains information about the property tax rate, the property tax base, the tax rate and the amount to be paid in property tax.

The Municipal Council has adopted the following tax rates:

• 3 per thousand in homes and vacation homes.
• 1 per thousand for undeveloped plots.
• 5.9 per thousand for all other properties.

Property tax 2023

Are you wondering why the value of the property changed in the property tax base for the property tax on your home from last year?

Regarding the submission of the property tax bill, we have received feedback from the property tax office that many homeowners have received an increase in their property tax for 2023. They state that the reason is that the Norwegian Tax Agency has increased the market value of many homes, which automatically leads to a tax increase property.

As mentioned in the previous section, the municipality uses the tax authority’s calculated market values ​​as the basis for issuing the property tax, and the municipality has no influence on this value.
