The second installment period for property tax has started

The second installment period for property tax has started. The payment deadline for housing, plot, land and business owners is Monday, November 30. A late payment penalty will be applied to debts not paid after this date.

Tax payments are made through the municipalities where the real estate is registered.

Citizens can make direct payments at municipal cash desks. Payment is also possible via municipalities' websites and e-Government. However, digital payment services may vary depending on municipalities.

Exemptions are applied to certain groups in property taxes. Those who own a single residence that does not exceed 200 square meters in gross area can be exempt from tax if they meet the necessary conditions. Retirees who live solely on their pension are also included in this scope. Disabled people, veterans and widows and orphans of martyrs can also benefit from exemption under certain conditions.

The tax amount to be paid is calculated according to the characteristics of the real estate. The tax value of the house or land, its nature and the region where it is located are effective in the calculation. Property tax rates in metropolitan cities are twice as much as in other regions. The exact payment amount can be learned from the municipalities' debt inquiry systems.

The last day for the second installment of property tax is November 30. Payments must be completed by this date.
