Consequently, the assessment rates adopted by the Salzgitter City Council on 17.12.2024 will remain in place in the 2025 financial year:
Property tax
a) for agricultural and forestry businesses (property tax A): 390 per cent
b) for land (property tax B): 540%.

The revaluation of as many properties as possible in Salzgitter in accordance with the Lower Saxony Property Tax Act of 07.07.2021 by the Lower Saxony tax authorities remains to be seen in order for the City of Salzgitter to be able to make more reliable decisions regarding the revenue-neutral assessment rates for property tax A and B.

Mayor Klingebiel sees the current discussion about the assessment rates for property tax A and B as part of the federal and state of Lower Saxony's property tax reform not just as a technical issue of revenue neutrality, but as a fundamental political decision with a far-reaching signal effect.
