The new calculation of the WOZ value in the point system

The housing valuation system in the Netherlands calculates, among other things, the maximum rental price of a home. Points are awarded based on the energy label, the number of square meters, the facilities available and the WOZ value. Has the property been valued with more than 142 points? Then the house may only be rented out in the liberalized or free sector. In this case, there is no longer a maximum rent, which means that rents can be high. The new calculation of the WOZ value in the scoring should change this.

Maximization of WOZ points

With the new calculation, the number of points based on the WOZ value is limited to 33% of the point total. WOZ points are only maximized for homes that have 142 or more points according to the Housing Valuation System. The measure is intended to ensure that tenants are protected against high rents.
Every year, homeowners also receive a decision from the municipality. The value in this decision, the WOZ value, is used as the basis for the calculation of municipal taxes and the notional rental value. That is why it is important to ensure that the WOZ value is correct and that it is not too high or too low. Otherwise you run the risk of paying too much or too little tax.
This is how the WOZ value is determined

The WOZ value is determined by the municipality on the basis of an appraisal. First of all, the appraiser looks at data about the land. Secondly, it looks at the type of property and the year of construction. Finally, the appraiser looks at the sales price of comparable properties that were sold around the reference date. The appraiser does not visit every property. With the aid of a computer model, a comparison can be made of other buildings. This is how homes in the Netherlands are valued. The municipality looks, among other things, at the differences in the usable area in square meters to determine the value of non-appraised properties. Other methods are used for the valuation of commercial properties.
