How is the new property tax calculated?

The new German property tax (Grundsteuer) is calculated in three steps: First, the tax office determines the property tax value (Grundsteuerwert) of your property. This is multiplied by the legally defined tax assessment rate (Steuermesszahl) to produce the tax assessment amount (Steuermessbetrag). Finally, the municipality multiplies the assessment amount by its individual tax rate (Hebesatz) — this gives the annual property tax. Depending on the federal state, the method for determining the property tax value differs significantly: some states use the value-based federal model, while others use purely area-based models.

Which calculation model applies in my federal state?

Germany has six different property tax models: The federal model (value-based) applies in 11 states, including Berlin, NRW, Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein. Bavaria uses a pure area-based model where only the plot and building area count — the property value plays no role. Baden-Württemberg uses the land value model, based solely on the land value per square meter. Hamburg has a residential quality model, Hesse uses an area-factor method, and Lower Saxony has an area-location model. Our calculator automatically detects the correct model based on your federal state.

Where do I find my land value (Bodenrichtwert)?

You can find your land value for free via the BORIS portal (Bodenrichtwertinformationssystem) of your federal state. Simply enter your address or parcel number, and the current land value will be displayed. Alternatively, you can request the land value from the expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) of your municipality. For the property tax calculation, the land value as of January 1, 2022 is typically used, which is stated in the property tax value notice (Grundsteuerwertbescheid) from the tax office.

What is the Hebesatz and how does it affect my property tax?

The Hebesatz (municipal tax rate) is a percentage set individually by each municipality and serves as the final multiplier in the property tax calculation. It varies enormously: from under 200% in small rural communities to over 900% in some major cities. Municipalities were asked to adjust their tax rates during the reform to keep total revenue neutral. In practice, however, many municipalities changed their rates to varying degrees, meaning the individual tax burden for property owners has indeed shifted.

Will my property tax increase or decrease?

This cannot be answered in general terms, as it depends on three factors: the new property tax value of your property, the tax assessment rate, and your municipality’s adjusted tax rate. While the reform was planned to be revenue-neutral — meaning the municipality should collect the same total amount — within each municipality there are winners and losers. Property tax tends to increase for properties in prime locations with high land values, while owners in simpler areas are often relieved. Use our old-vs-new comparison to see your personal change immediately.

Can I object to my property tax assessment?

Yes, you can file an objection (Einspruch) with the responsible tax office within one month of receiving your property tax value notice. Carefully check whether the underlying data is correct: plot area, living area, land value, year of construction, and property type. Common sources of error include incorrect area figures or an overstated land value. The objection does not have a suspensive effect — you must continue paying the property tax in the meantime. However, if the correction is successful, you will receive a refund for any overpaid tax.

Why does Bavaria have its own property tax model?

Bavaria deliberately chose against the federal model because the state considers a purely area-based calculation to be fairer and simpler. In the Bavarian area model, property values and land values play no role — only the square meters of the plot and building count. Bavaria argues that this prevents rising real estate prices from automatically leading to higher property taxes and makes the calculation more transparent and comprehensible for owners. Critics counter that the model ignores value differences between prime and simple locations.

Do tenants have to pay property tax?

In principle, the property owner is the taxpayer — they receive the assessment and must pay the property tax to the municipality. However, the landlord may pass the property tax on to tenants in full as operating costs, provided this is agreed in the rental contract. This is the case in the vast majority of rental agreements. The property tax then appears in the annual operating cost statement. An increase in property tax due to the reform can therefore directly result in higher utility costs for tenants.

What is the difference between property tax A and property tax B?

Property tax A (agricultural) applies to agricultural and forestry businesses and their land. Property tax B (built-up) applies to all developed and developable plots — meaning residential buildings, condominiums, commercial properties, and undeveloped building land. For the vast majority of property owners, property tax B is relevant. The tax rates for A and B are set separately by municipalities and usually differ significantly. Our calculator computes property tax B, as it applies to the majority of all property owners.

When is property tax due and in what installments?

Property tax is due in four installments of one quarter of the annual amount each: on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15. Alternatively, owners can apply to the tax office to pay the property tax as a lump sum on July 1 — this application must be submitted by September 30 of the previous year. When ownership changes (e.g., buying a house), the new owner is only liable for property tax from January 1 of the following year. The payment dates apply uniformly throughout Germany.

Property Tax in Germany's 50 Largest Cities 2026: Rates and What a Flat and a Detached House Cost

In short: A homeowner in Hagen pays 3.6 times as much property tax in 2026 as one in Potsdam with the same tax base: Hagen's rate for Grundsteuer B is 1,176%, Potsdam's 330%. We collected the 2026 rates of Germany's 50 largest cities from their bylaws, budget bylaws and official gazettes, and for the 12 cities with an area-based model we calculated what a 75 m² flat and a detached house with 130 m² of living space cost per year: between €138 and €334 for the flat, between €321 and €774 for the house.

As of 27 October 2026. Based on the rates the cities apply in 2026, the federal Property Tax Act and the property tax acts of Bavaria, Hamburg, Hesse and Lower Saxony.

Key findings

Same tax base, 3.6 times the bill: In the 34 cities using the federal model, the rate ranges from 330% in Potsdam to 1,176% in Hagen. For a tax base amount (Grundsteuermessbetrag) of €50 that means €165 a year in Potsdam, €187 in Düsseldorf, €275 in Cologne and €588 in Hagen. Within North Rhine-Westphalia alone, Hagen's rate is 3.1 times Düsseldorf's (374%).
Detached house: €321 in Kassel, €774 in Darmstadt: In Hesse, Lower Saxony, Bavaria and Hamburg the tax depends mainly on floor and plot area. Our standard house (130 m² living space, 500 m² plot, average location) costs 2.4 times as much in Darmstadt as in Kassel, also in Hesse. Hanover (€590), Frankfurt am Main (€560), Munich (€540) and Hamburg (€528) follow. The 75 m² flat costs between €138 (Kassel) and €334 (Darmstadt) a year.
14 of the 50 cities changed their rate for 2026, 13 of them upwards: The biggest jumps for residential property were in Essen (655% to 925%, +41%), Gelsenkirchen (696% to 980%, +41%), Krefeld (506% to 680%), Duisburg (886% to 1,169%) and Dortmund (625% to 800%). Only Nuremberg cut its rate, from 780% to 750%.
North Rhine-Westphalia moves away from split rates: Nine large NRW cities that taxed residential property at a lower rate than commercial property in 2025 returned to a single rate for 2026, after the Gelsenkirchen administrative court held split rates unlawful on 4 December 2025 (not final). For homeowners this mostly means a higher bill, for businesses a lower one. Ten cities only set their 2026 rate during the year, with effect back to 1 January. Among the 50 cities only Bochum, Magdeburg, Mainz and Ludwigshafen still use split rates.
Lowest rate does not mean lowest tax: The four cities in Baden-Württemberg have the lowest rates (Stuttgart 160%, Freiburg 235%, Karlsruhe 270%, Mannheim 365%). But there the tax is levied on land value, which is high in these cities. Rates can only be compared directly within the same state model.

¹ Rate for residential property, or the single rate for all property. ² Only for cities with split rates. ³ Property tax per year for the standard flat and the standard house, only in states with an area-based model (see methodology). Under the federal model and in Baden-Württemberg the amount depends on the land value of the address, shown as a dash. ⁴ 2026 rate set or changed during the year, with effect from 1 January 2026 (section 25(3) of the Property Tax Act).

What a flat and a detached house cost

In Bavaria, Hamburg, Hesse and Lower Saxony the property tax depends on plot and floor area, not on the value of the property. For a standard property in an average location the amount can therefore be given for the whole city. The flat is an owner-occupied flat with 75 m² living space and a 50 m² share of the plot, the house a detached house with 130 m² living space on a 500 m² plot. Both without garage and without reductions for listed buildings or social housing.

Hanover	900 %	€254	€590	€49	Area-location

Oldenburg	539 %	€152	€353	€29	Area-location
Kassel	490 %	€138	€321	€27	Area-factor

Hamburg has the highest rate in this group but not the highest bill, because living space in a normal residential location gets a 25% lower tax base. In Hesse and Lower Saxony the amount applies to an average location in the city: if the land value of the address is above the city average, the tax rises slightly, below it falls. Your exact amount is shown by the property tax calculator.

Why there is no amount for 38 cities

Under the federal model, which applies in eleven states, the tax office calculates the property value from the land value of the address on 1 January 2022, a statutory average rent per rent level, living space and year of construction. In Baden-Württemberg only the land value counts. Most cities have no officially published typical land value, and values within one city often differ several times over. An amount "for the city" would therefore be a guess. For these cities we show the rate only.

A comparison is still possible: if you know your tax base amount, it is on the assessment notice from the tax office, the calculation is:

\text{Property tax per year} = \text{Tax base amount} \times \frac{\text{Rate}}{100}

A tax base amount of €50 means €165 a year in Potsdam (330%), €187 in Düsseldorf (374%), €225 in Leipzig (450%), €275 in Cologne (550%), €474 in Wuppertal (947%) and €588 in Hagen (1,176%).

Methodology

Cities: the 50 most populous cities according to the municipal directory of the Federal Statistical Office (population on 31 December 2024 based on the 2022 census), the same selection as in our housing benefit study.
Rates: for each city the Grundsteuer B rate in force for 2026, from an official source: rate bylaw, budget bylaw, official gazette or the city's property tax page. Where a city changed its 2026 rate retroactively, the new rate is shown. Comparison websites were used only as a cross-check. All 50 rates could be verified, no city had to be dropped. The source for each city is listed below under "Sources".
Previous year: 2025 rate from the same or an earlier official source; for Hamm and Leverkusen from the 2026 rate overview of the taxpayers' association of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Area-based models: equivalence amount of €0.04 per m² of plot and €0.50 per m² of living space, assessment rate 100% for land and 70% for living space. In Hamburg an additional 25% reduction on living space for a normal residential location, in Hesse and Lower Saxony a location factor of 1.0 (land value equal to the municipal average). Tax equals tax base amount times rate, rounded to whole euros. The year of construction plays no role in these models.
Calculation: with the logic of our property tax calculator. The standard flat gives a tax base amount of €28.25 in Bavaria, Hesse and Lower Saxony, the standard house €65.50. In Hamburg it is €21.69 and €54.13.
Baden-Württemberg: here the land value is taxed (plot area times land value times 0.91‰ for residential property). An official average land value is freely published only for Karlsruhe, and it is updated to 1 July 2022, so it is not the value at the reference date of 1 January 2022. Stuttgart, Mannheim and Freiburg only publish values per zone. We therefore calculate no amount for any city in Baden-Württemberg.
Not included: Grundsteuer A and C, non-residential property, garages and reductions. All amounts are model calculations; the assessment notice and the tax notice are binding.
