Objection letter WOZ: Discover your rights

Questioner

Last February I objected to the WOZ value imposed by Meerssen and on December 31, 2015 I received written notice from Bsgw that they would use a 6-week extension to make a decision. Those 6 weeks from 1-1-2016 have also expired and that is why I emailed the letter below to Bsgw last Tuesday. My question is whether this is sufficient to put them in default and when do the two weeks that they still have to decide start? What should I do if this term is exceeded again and can I do this myself without a judge? here is my written letter from tuesday to bsgw concerns file number .............................. On 26-2-2015 I filed an objection to the WOZ assessment ............... ticket number .... I would like to point out that the (legal) term for deciding on My objection of 31-12-2016 had expired and you extended that period again by 6 weeks, but that has also expired. If you do not make a decision within two weeks If you do so, you will be liable to pay a penalty. To date, we have not received any new request to adjourn the decision on the objection. Yours faithfully, ...... ...... .......

If the term expires again, you do not need to do anything. The penalty is forfeited by operation of law. The government agency will have to decide on the issue of forfeited penalty payments together with the decision on the objection. If the government agency does nothing, or if it decides that no penalty payments have been forfeited, you will really have to go to court. For further information, please contact me directly.
