Tax offices and city treasuries that issue certificates

Check the office responsible for you before you send a request

A tax certificate normally comes from the Finanzamt that is responsible for you, which is not always the one nearest to you. Certificates about money owed to a city come from its treasury instead. For each city you can see how its offices take requests, whether they want signed copies, and how the certificate reaches you.
