Annual property tax in Westpunt
All property owners in Curaçao, including those in Westpunt, are subject to the annual property tax (onroerendezaakbelasting, OZB). This tax replaced the previous land tax on 1 January 2014.
The tax is based on the value of the property in economic circulation. A tiered rate system is applied to these valuations. If a building is located on leasehold land owned by the Government of Curaçao, the person leasing the land is responsible for paying the tax on the value of the building.
A final OZB assessment must be paid within 2 months of the date on the notice. The government does not grant tax exemptions for properties that have been vacant for a long time. For more details on how this works, see the article on annual property tax (OZB) in Curaçao.

Things to check before buying in Westpunt
Buying property in a rural area like Westpunt requires specific attention to the status of the land and the structures on it. It is important to verify whether the property is owned in full or held under a long lease (erfpacht). If the land is leased from the Government of Curaçao, you should check the terms and the remaining duration of the lease.
You should also verify the property boundaries and ownership records through the Curaçao Land Registry (Kadaster). Checking for any existing easements or restrictions on the plot is a necessary step in the due diligence process. For more information, see the Curaçao Land Registry (Kadaster) guide.
Potential buyers should also consider the costs associated with the transfer of property, including the transfer tax. For a detailed breakdown of these expenses, refer to the article on closing costs when buying property in Curaçao.
RealEstatesCuraçao does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. You should consult a notary, lawyer, or qualified tax adviser to handle the purchase agreement and ensure all legal requirements are met.
