This fee is based on the value of the property which is located within the Municipality’s boundaries, as estimated by the Department of Lands and Surveys in prices of 2021.
The property ownership fee is 0.23 per mil on the estimated value of the properties.
Each year, the Municipality personally notifies every owner of the amount due for the current year as well as the deadline for payment. A relevant notification is also published in the Press.
A surcharge of 10% of the fee is added if the amount is not paid in time.
Not receiving a personal notification does not exempt anyone from the payment of the fee and those who do not receive one should contact the Municipality to take care of the debt in time and to confirm their postal address, which may not be entered correctly in the register.
