Procedures when the owner of fixed assets dies

When the owner of a fixed asset dies, the following procedures are required.

In the heir representative notification form, you will be asked to appoint a person (heir representative) who will be responsible for the taxes of the decedent. Please submit it to the Taxation Division Housing Section and Land Section.
Note: If there is no change in the registered name by the next assessment date (January 1), we will send a tax notice to the representative of the heir.

If you own an unregistered house, you will need to change the ownership of the house. We will give you a form, so please prepare the necessary documents and submit them to the Taxation Division Housing Section and Land Section.

If you would like to pay by bank transfer, please contact the Receipt Section window for payment methods. If you pay with a payment slip, please pay with the payment slip as it is.

The procedure for inheritance registration is the Legal Affairs Bureau Fuchu Branch Office.
