What does this legal document offer you?

• Notification of change by means of Elster or tax software
• For property tax at the tax office
• Because something has changed in your property in the last year
• You have changed the living space into a commercial space
• You have until January 31 to do this
• Only in Bavaria, Lower Saxony and Hamburg you have until March 31st

This legal document ensures that you notify the tax office of the change to your property in a legally correct manner. You are obliged to do this under Section 228 of the Valuation Act. This is the so-called change notification. This informs the tax office that an area in your building, apartment or property is no longer used for residential purposes but for commercial purposes. For example, you have turned your apartment into a store or office. It is important that you send the change to the tax office before the deadline expires. This will help you avoid penalties from the tax office, such as late payment surcharges and penalty payments.
