Property Tax

You pay a public space tax if you place objects in, on, or above municipal land designated for public use. Examples include a patio, a dumpster, a billboard, or scaffolding.

You also have to pay a street vending tax if you want to display items for sale on the street.

How does it work?

You will find the precario tax listed on your municipal tax bill. The Gouwe-Rijnland Tax Cooperation (abbreviation: BSGR) collects this tax on behalf of the municipality of Voorschoten.

The amount you pay depends on the type of item, its dimensions, and the period of use. You can find the regulation on the precario tax in the government’s regulations database at .
