Statistical concepts and definitions
Afgiftspligtig grundværdi: Grundværdien fratrukket værdien af grundforbedringer i op til 30 år efter at forbedringerne er foretaget (60 år for skove). Fradraget må ikke overstige ejerens udgifter til forbedringer. Offentlige ejendomme er fritaget for afgiftspligt. Endvidere kan kommunalbestyrelsen fritage skoler, hospitaler og institutioner, idrætsanlæg, el-, gas-, vand og varmeværker for hel eller delvis afgiftspligt. Siden 2003 har der været indført et loft over stigningen af den afgiftspligtige grundværdi, således at den maximalt må stige med 7 pct. fra et år til det næste. I 2019 var reguleringsprocenten 5,5, i 2020 er den 5,8 og i 2021 er den 6,4.
Amtskommunal grundskyld: (ophævet fra 2007): Afgift til amtet udskrevet af den afgiftspligtig grundværdi af ejendomme beliggende i amtet og udgør 10 promille. For ejendomme, der benyttes til landbrug, gartneri, planteskoler eller frugtplantager skal der kun svares 5,7 promille. I 2004 er den nedsat til 4,3 promille og i 2005 yderligere nedsat til 1,5 promille. Fra 2006 er den nedsat til 1 promille og samtidigt inddrages skovbrug, så det sidestilles med landbrug mv. Offentlige ejendomme er fritaget. Endvidere kan de lokale myndigheder fritage skoler, hospitaler og institutioner, idrætsanlæg, el-, gas-, vand og varmeværker for hel eller delvis afgiftspligt
Dækningsafgift af forretningsejendommes forskelsværdi: Kommunerne kan udskrive dækningsafgift af forretningsejendomme på max 10 promille med en bundgrænse på 50.000 kr.
