Property tax rate
In Switzerland, property tax is imposed at both the cantonal and municipal levels, with rates varying from 0.001% to 0.5% based on the property’s location. There is no federal property tax. This tax applies to the valuation of land and buildings and is generally evaluated on an annual basis.
