The Amt Mönchgut-Granitz levies the tax for the municipalities belonging to the district on the basis of the notice of the property tax assessment amount that each property owner has received from the Stralsund tax office as part of the property tax declaration. The measurement amount determined by the tax office is multiplied by the municipal assessment rate. The resulting amount is to be paid as property tax.

Every property owner will receive a new property tax assessment notice from the Mönchgut-Granitz office for their property in 2025, which will show the actual tax amount from 1 January 2025.

If you have issued the Mönchgut-Granitz office with a SEPA direct debit mandate, nothing further needs to be done. However, a direct debit will only be made again after a new property tax assessment notice has been issued.

It should be noted that the new property tax assessment notices are issued by the Mönchgut-Granitz office and the payment obligation exists even if the property owner has lodged an appeal against the assessment notice with the tax office.

There is initially no obligation to pay if an application for suspension of enforcement (AdV) has been submitted to the tax office and this has been approved in writing by the tax office.

The Amt Mönchgut-Granitz is bound by the assessment notices issued by the tax office. Even in the case of obvious discrepancies, the Mönchgut-Granitz Office is not responsible for making adjustments to the valuation of properties. If there are doubts about the correctness of the assessment notice on the property tax assessment amount or other notices issued by the tax office in connection with the property tax return, an objection must be lodged directly with the tax office against these notices issued by the tax office. The municipality has no influence on the notices issued by the tax office or on the general legal situation.

In these cases, owners must contact the Stralsund tax office, Zur Schwedenschanze 1, 18435 Stralsund (telephone: 03 85 / 58 84 80 00). It is important that you can state your file number when making enquiries. You will find the file number both on the property tax assessment notice from the Mönchgut-Granitz office and on the property tax assessment notice from the Stralsund tax office. The file number is a 17-digit number (082XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) beginning with the number 082.

If there is a mathematical error in the calculation of the actual property tax amount in the property tax assessment issued by the Mönchgut-Granitz office or if your objections are directed against the assessment rate issued by the respective municipality, your objection must be lodged with the Mönchgut-Granitz office. Further details can be found in the information on legal remedies in the respective notice.

The Federal Constitutional Court has categorised the previous calculation of property tax as unconstitutional. A new property tax law was therefore passed by the legislature. The federal state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has opted for the federal model. The basic structure for calculating property tax remains the same. The federal model simplifies the property valuation procedure. The main assessment period is seven years.

Property tax is assessed and levied by the local authorities. This is based on the data determined by the tax offices and the respective assessment rate of the municipality. The calculation of the new property tax is based on a three-stage procedure:

• Property tax assessment notice from the tax office

• Property tax assessment notice from the tax office
• Property tax assessment notice from the municipality

The owner is always liable for property tax. In the area of agricultural and forestry assets in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, this leads to a change from the previous user taxation to owner taxation.

A change of ownership must be reported to the Stralsund tax office. The tax can only be collected from the new owner once the tax office has completed the transfer and the Mönchgut-Granitz tax office has been notified. Due to the high number of cases at the tax offices, longer waiting times are to be expected. In the meantime, the former owner must continue to pay the property tax. Should this subsequently result in credit balances for the previous owner, these will of course be refunded.
