You are a resident of Bonaire and own the home in which you live. The assessed value of the property is US$ 300,000. You would therefore pay US$ 1,035 in land tax per year. <\/p>\nReal estate tax<\/span><\/h3>\n
\u2022 owners of second homes;
\u2022 non-residents who own land in the Caribbean Netherlands;
\u2022 owners who rent out real estate;
\u2022 entities established in the Caribbean Netherlands that own real estate;
\u2022 entities established outside the Netherlands that own real estate in the Caribbean Netherlands.<\/p>\n
You own a second home on Bonaire that you rent out. The assessed value of the property is US$ 300,000. You pay real estate tax at a rate of 0.91% on US$ 230,000 (the assessed value of US$ 300,000 minus the US$ 70,000 exemption). This amounts to US$ 2,093 per year. <\/p>\nReal estate tax exemption for residents with an undeveloped lot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How is the 0.91% real estate tax calculated?<\/span><\/h3>\n
You own a second home on Bonaire that you rent out. The assessed value of the property is US$ 300,000. The taxable value for real estate tax purposes is therefore US$ 230,000 (the assessed value of US$ 300,000 minus the US$ 70,000 exemption). You pay 0.7% on this amount (US$ 1,610), plus a 30% island surcharge on the calculated tax (US$ 483). This results in an annual real estate tax of US$ 2,093, equivalent to an effective rate of 0.91%. <\/p>\n
