Municipalities may levy fees for the expansion of public roads, paths, and squares in accordance with the Rhineland-Palatinate Local Tax Act (recurring fees for public transportation facilities).

Recurring fees for public transportation facilities are levied for the renewal, expansion, improvement, or reconstruction of public roads, paths, and squares within a billing area.
The city of Mainz is divided into 17 billing areas.

The amount of the recurring fees for public transportation facilities is based on:

• the actual eligible investment expenses incurred,
• the city’s share of the costs as determined in each case, and
• the size and structural usability of the property.

Depending on the billing area, 60% to 70% of the annual investment costs incurred for this purpose are generally allocated. The remaining 30% to 40% is borne by the state capital of Mainz.

The contribution is requested annually via a corresponding assessment notice.

Information regarding the assessment of contributions is provided by Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz, which collects the development contributions on behalf of and at the request of the City of Mainz.

Processing depends on the specific circumstances of each individual case.
