Neunkirchen warns: Attention of fraudulent property taxes!

The city of Neunkirchen faces a serious fraud warning that is related to the current property tax reform. On Thursday, January 23, 2025, the Neunkircher city administration published an urgent appeal to the citizens to protect themselves from dubious practices. In particular, perpetrators pretend to be urban employees and try to collect property tax in 2025 directly at the front door. This reports Sol.de .

The city administration points out that all its employees in the field can always identify themselves with a valid office. If this ID is missing, this is a clear indication of a possible attempted fraud. Citizens are asked to not grant the alleged perpetrators in suspicion of fraud and to inform the police immediately.

In addition to the front -door quisitions, the citizens in Neunkirchen also have to deal with another fraud stitch: fake tax notices. These letters are usually sent by post and appear deceptively real. They request the recipients to transfer money amounts to given bank details. Such fake letters have already appeared in Saarland mailboxes, as es-heftche.de reported.

The Hessian Ministry of Finance joins the warning and provides advice on the review of suspicious notices. It is particularly important that the tax identification number is correct and clearly specified. In addition, the sender address and abnormalities in font and layout should be carefully checked. If in doubt, the responsible tax office should be contacted.

The city administration particularly emphasizes the importance of vigilance. Citizens should be aware of the fact that urban employees never appear unexpectedly at the front door to personally collect funds. The new information on the property tax reform is also available on the website of the city of Neunkirchen, such as Tagesschau.de

It should be noted that the citizens in Neunkirchen should be highly sensitized in order to protect themselves from possible attempts to fraud. The city administration and the police work closely together to convey their concerns to the citizens and to offer them security.
