Key facts

  • Property tax is levied on the land value and property value tax on the full value of land and building from the public assessment.
  • Non-resident owners are liable for both taxes on their Danish home.
  • Non-Danish properties are not assessed on a public assessment, so their value is calculated differently.
  • Rates were not covered here, so check skat.dk.
