Paying recurring contributions for traffic facilities
Service description
Municipalities levy recurring contributions for the expansion of public roads, paths and squares (traffic facilities). Expansion includes all measures on facilities or installations created for the first time that serve the purpose of renewal, expansion, conversion or improvement.
As a property owner, however, you only bear part of the costs caused by municipal roads by paying development contributions. The necessary maintenance and repair measures are borne by the municipality alone. The municipality has to bear its own share of the contributory development measures, the so-called "municipal share". This is between 20 and 75 percent. It is determined by the volume of through traffic in relation to the total traffic volume in the respective road or billing unit.
The remaining part of the annual costs for the expansion of traffic facilities in a settlement unit is allocated to all property owners in the corresponding settlement unit when recurring road expansion contributions are levied. Settlement units can be the entire municipal area or parts of it. This depends on the size and structure of the respective municipality.

What else should I know?
The collection of recurring contributions eliminates the high burden that is often associated with the collection of one-off contributions. The municipalities can therefore only levy one-off contributions in rare exceptional cases. The details of the collection of contributions are regulated by the municipalities.
You can apply for the contribution debt to be deferred or waived under certain conditions. You can also apply for payment in installments for one-off contributions.
