Since 1 January 2021, the canton has levied the value-added compensation on single-zoned areas. The communes can levy the tax on conversions and upgrades. The Office for Spatial Development has expanded its range of working aids for municipalities and planning offices with two templates.
With the new model letters, the municipalities can inform the property owners about the test result regarding the special reasons as well as the right to individual valuation on demand and owners can request the individual valuation.
The Office for Spatial Development offers information on value-added compensation, a continuously updated collection of questions and answers, and various working aids for municipalities and planning offices on the website www.zh.ch/mehrwertausgleich.
Sample letters are available. The full communication is available here.
