Cities and municipalities - but also special-purpose associations - can involve property owners in the costs of building or expanding water supply and wastewater disposal facilities by means of a connection fee.
The amount of the connection fee depends primarily on the construction costs. However, the municipalities can also decide to refinance only part of the construction costs through contributions. They must enact a corresponding contribution statute, which, among other things, determines the scale of contributions and the contribution rate. Those liable to pay contributions are charged differently depending on the extent to which the property is used (commercial or private, number of floors). Further details can be found in the relevant statutes of your city or municipality.
Note: For the renewal, extension, and expansion of existing municipal roads, the cities, and municipalities can demand so-called road construction contributions in order to finance the associated expenditure. However, there is no obligation to levy road construction contributions. In contrast, when a road is constructed for the first time (for the development of properties), the cities and municipalities are obliged to allow the property owners to share in the costs by means of a development contribution.
The obligation to pay a contribution arises for a property if
- it is actually connected to the water supply or waste water disposal system, or
- if the municipality has ordered compulsory connection by statute, already when the property could be connected.
As a rule, the person liable to pay the contribution is the owner(s) of the property. If there is a heritable building right or a right of use in rem, the person entitled to heritable building rights or the person entitled to use the property in rem is the liable party.
The owner of the property, the person entitled to the heritable building right or any other person entitled in rem to the use of the property for construction purposes shall receive a notice of contribution. If necessary, advance payments on the contribution debt may be levied.
