The tax rate in the Aargau municipalities

Baden and Wettingen

As in the previous year, Baden and Wettingen remain at 92% and 95% municipal taxes respectively. Birmenstorf fits into this picture. Other neighboring communities such as Obersiggenthal, Mellingen and Neuenhof, on the other hand, are more in the 100-115% range.

According to the calculations of watson.ch A change in the tax rate of 2-4% means an additional burden of 60-120 francs* for the average earner. Moving immediately is not an option. However, the city/agglomeration comparison often amounts to 600 francs and the districts usually extend across the border with a comparable range of housing.
