Property assessments and property taxes

A property assessment is the Danish government’s assessment of the value of your property. 

Your property assessment consists of 2 values:

• property value
• land value. 

The 2 values will be used to calculate your property tax. 

• Understand your public property assessment (in Danish)
• Property value tax: what is it and what are the rules? (in Danish)
• Land tax and how it is calculated (in Danish)

The Danish Property Assessment Agency generally assesses your property every 2 years. You pay property tax on the assessment for the following 2 years until your next assessment, after which your property tax is readjusted.

Since 2020, The Danish Property Assessment Agency has been assessing properties with a new property assessment system. New property assessments are regularly sent out to homeowners.

You will be notified via Digital Post when your property assessment is complete. You can read your Digital Post on several different platforms: lifeindenmark.dk, the Digital Post app, e-Boks and mit.dk.
