Compromise in the city council / last notices for 2021 to 2024 announced
The city council of the Büchnerstadt Riedstadt decided on Thursday, May 22, 2025, with a large majority to hire the collection of road contributions in the future. This ends a long -term political dispute over the financing of street renovations. In the future, the measures will be financed through general budget - accompanied by an increase in property tax B by 120 points to 1,105 percent .
As a basis, a compromise request from the CDU parliamentary group leader Michael Fraikin , to which 24 city councilors agreed. Only three voted against it, nine contained. A second, formal coordination to change the lifting rate statute was adopted with 25 votes in favor.
Last street contribution notices are still coming
Despite the new regulation, it remains to be sent to property owners for the years 2021 to 2024 It is only from January 1, 2025 that the recurring road contributions are collected completely.
However, the city makes it clear that the additional financing through property tax is not sufficient to implement all planned measures. For 2025, only reduced implementation of the street renovation program is possible.
Advantages of the new solution
The compromise not only ends the political patient situation, but also the long -standing dispute over the legally related, uneven distribution of costs onto the districts. Recurring contributions had to be made in separate billing areas, which had led to considerable dissatisfaction.
In his reasoning, CDU parliamentary group leader Fraikin emphasized that the new model distribute a fairer distribution over the urban budget . In addition, with a view to renovated quarters such as the Philippshospital , no new loads can be expected over decades.
Effects on tenants and owners
In contrast to the previous street contributions that only affected property owners, the increase in property tax B also being passed on to tenants . , some institutions such as churches, municipalities or sports clubs are exempt from property tax. These imbalances were also discussed as part of the discussion.
