A friend bought a plot of land in 2014 and built a single-family house on it in 8/2015.

After the house was finished, it was measured as required and later the building authority confirmed the completion in January 2016.

Since then, he has been waiting for a notice from the city or tax office so that he can pay property tax accordingly.

It is a mystery what went wrong, but is the homeowner now obliged to follow up on this or what should he best do now?
Is he obligated to report it? What is the situation here?

Then you have fulfilled your duty. You don't have to do more. Set aside the possible property tax and wait.

Why? Were the purchase of the land and the construction of the house connected contracts?

The property tax for an undeveloped plot is very low in our case (Saxony district, 567 sqm), I don’t know about a developed plot. If the costs for you are manageable, I would follow up on the matter, simply so that everything is "in order" and it does not have negative consequences later, under any circumstances or with changed conditions.

He should check whether the change of ownership in the land register has taken place. As long as it has not been changed, the previous owner is still paying.

Like connected contracts? No. First a plot of land was purchased. Then a house was built on it a year later. Since 2016, the acquaintance has been waiting for the assessment and the notification of the property tax.
