Which cantons levy a property tax?

The property tax exists in the cantons of Bern, Fribourg, Geneva, Graubuenden, Jura, Neuchatel, St. Gallen, Thurgau, Ticino, Vaud, and Valais. Cantons such as Zurich, Lucerne, Zug, Schwyz, and Aargau do not levy a property tax -- there, the property value is only included in the wealth tax. The property tax is an object tax: it is levied regardless of your income and is charged in addition to wealth tax.

How much property tax do I pay per year?

The tax is levied as a per-mille rate on the official value (tax value, cadastral value). The rate varies by canton and municipality, typically between 0.5 per mille and 3 per mille. Example: with an official value of CHF 1,000,000 and a rate of 1.5 per mille, this amounts to CHF 1,500 per year. In some cantons (e.g., Geneva), different rates apply for primary residences and other properties. Also check the imputed rental value and maintenance deductions to estimate the total burden of your property.
