According to § 5 of the statutes of the city of Idar-Oberstein on the levying of dog tax from 20.12.2001 in the version of 16.12.2011, the tax amounts to
- Para. 1: | for every dog | yearly 96,00 € |
- Para. 2: | for every dangerous dog | yearly 192,00 € |
The following are considered dangerous dogs:
- Dogs that have proven to bite,
- Dogs that have shown by their behavior that they chase or tear game or livestock,
- Dogs that have jumped at people in an aggressive or threatening manner,
- Dogs that have developed a willingness to fight, aggressiveness, sharpness or other characteristics that are comparable in their effect beyond the natural level,
and - Dogs of the breeds American Staffordshire Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier, dogs of the Pit Bull Terrier type and dogs descended from one of these breeds or this type.
There has been no change compared to calendar year 2024, meaning that no dog tax notices will be issued for calendar year 2025.
For all those tax debtors who have to pay the same dog tax for the calendar year 2025 as in the previous year, the dog tax for the calendar year 2025 is determined by this public announcement in accordance with § 6 para. 4 of the statutes of the city of Idar-Oberstein on the collection of dog tax of 20.12.2001 in conjunction with § 3 para. 2 no. 6 of the Municipal Tax Act of 20.06.1995 in the currently valid version, in the amount last assessed for the calendar year 2024.
The dog tax 2025 must continue to be paid to the Idar-Oberstein city treasury without special request on the due dates and with the amounts resulting from the last written dog tax notice.
If there are any changes to the dog tax rates or the basis of taxation (number of dogs kept), notices of change will be issued.
From the date of the public announcement of this tax assessment, the same legal effects shall apply to the taxpayers as if they had received a written tax assessment notice on that date.
Legal remedies:
The tax assessment can be contested within a period of one month, starting from the day of the announcement, by lodging an objection in writing or for the record with the Idar-Oberstein municipal administration, Georg-Maus-Straße 1-2. The appeal has no suspensive effect.
