How to deal with increasing property tax burden?

Prominent example here from Berlin:

In 2024, the property tax amount for Strandbad Weißensee was 770.31 euros. For the coming year, this was recalculated. For operator Stefan Reinhardt, the amount rises to 36,946.93 euros - an increase of 4796 percent, almost 48 times as much as before.

Prominent example here from Berlin:

Well, one could also say that the beach pool was burdened with far too little property tax for years and they should be glad that they only have to pay appropriately now. This will not comfort the current operator of the event venue.

The problem is rather that this income approach is not always reasonable (or fair). So maybe for a beach bath more so than for an owner-occupied house, but he is also doing it with a public mandate. With the property tax, he would have to charge admission prices that no one would pay. And then, as a consequence, there would simply be no beach bath at that location. So not only the operator would be at a disadvantage.

With the property tax, he would have to charge entrance fees that no one pays. And as a consequence, there would simply be no beach pool at that location.

The subjunctives are wrong here. He will increase the prices for a day ticket from €8 to €9.20 (children from €4.5 to €5.7). So it's not that dramatic.

But that does not mean I find this increase good all at once. It only shows how poorly calculated it was in the past and that today's calculation is just as bad. In the end, residential properties pay more on average (mainly single-family/two-family houses), condominiums remain relatively constant, and commercial properties pay less.

And if anyone feels like it, they can look at tables in individual federal states to see what the multiplier would have to be so that the property tax overall would be revenue-neutral. For my municipality: the multiplier for residential is above the necessary rate, commercial below.

Ah yes, well. Honestly, I hadn't realized that it was already that expensive.

From €230 to €660, completely rural but a young house. The assessment rate unchanged compared to before, because the municipality is treating itself. That the assessed value rises and the assessment rate falls (should fall) was iirc always assumed. Anyone here with an unsanitary old building? How does it work there? For revenue neutrality, there must also be some who pay significantly less.
