Mülheim Sets 2025 Property Tax Rate Amid Public Protest

The city council finalized the property tax multiplier for 2025, drawing criticism from demonstrators concerned about high rates.

Mülheim's city council has determined the property tax multiplier (Hebesatz) for 2025 after extensive financial deliberations.
A small but vocal group of around 50 demonstrators protested outside the city hall, opposing high property tax rates.
The protest, organized by citizens and the Free Voters group, was notably smaller than similar demonstrations in 2019.
In contrast, the nearby municipality of Steinwenden decided to maintain its current property tax rate, citing a balanced 2025 budget.
Steinwenden's council emphasized the importance of legal certainty in tax collection, ensuring timely issuance of tax notices in January.
