verhoogd or verhoogt?

Both spellings are correct, but they have different grammatical jobs.

verhoogd
correctly spelled
  • Past participle
verhoogt
correctly spelled
  • Present singular (jij/je before the verb; u/hij/zij/het)

Why?

verhoogt is the singular present form with subject-first jij/je, with u (also after the verb), or with a third-person singular subject. In inversion, subject jij/je takes the ik-form instead. verhoogd is the past participle of verhogen.
