New property tax scandal!

Municipalities force citizens into court! Without objection, without warning! This is currently happening with property tax

Millions of property tax notices are currently fluttering through Germany’s letterboxes – despite ongoing legal proceedings. Many property owners are asking themselves: What is behind this chaos? And why is a federal state forcing its citizens directly into court?

The answer is scandalous: Lower Saxony has abolished appeals against property tax assessments! Property owners can no longer defend themselves out of court and must take legal action immediately. This not only violates federal law, but also deprives those affected of an inexpensive way of defending themselves.

Your solution with PepperPapers:

Sample objection: Protect yourself against the municipality – so that your property tax assessment notice does not become legally binding.

Test case: If the municipality rejects your objection or you are in Lower Saxony – take your case directly to court.

Lower Saxony add-on: Specially for owners in Lower Saxony to maintain the option of an out-of-court solution despite legal action.

Why is this important?

The property tax is currently before the courts. In the end, the Federal Constitutional Court will decide whether the new regulation is unconstitutional. With the model objection and the model lawsuit, you can keep the proceedings open until there is clarity – and protect yourself from unnecessary costs.
