Bayrischzell 2025: Solid finances and stable trade tax assessment rate!

The municipality of Bayrischzell is financially well positioned for 2025. Treasurer Sandra Sieber informed the local council about the budget figures, which increase financial leeway through positive trade tax revenue and a reduced district levy of 1.1 million euros. In total, the municipality has 276,836 euros more at its disposal than in the previous year.

The debt level is expected to increase to around 5 million euros, mainly due to the debt restructuring of two projects. Although interest savings of 3.3 percentage points are realized, household expenses of 1.1 million euros burden the budget. The general renovation of the sewage treatment plant in Osterhofen represents a major challenge, for which loans are planned in the following years.
