About this digital tool
The property tax calculator estimates how much you pay each year on a house, apartment, land or business premises. Enter the type of property, the area or value and the zone, and the tool gives an estimate of the annual tax. The local tax is set by the municipality within the legal framework, so rates and calculation can differ between cities and zones.
It is useful for owners who want to plan annual expenses, buyers comparing running costs and investors working out net yield. This tax should be added to the other costs of the property: maintenance, insurance and utilities. The result is an estimate; for the exact amount check with the relevant municipality.

- Enter the area and the location.
- See the estimated annual tax.
Frequently asked questions
Who pays property tax?
The registered owner of the property. If you live in rented accommodation, the tax belongs to the owner, not the tenant (unless the contract says otherwise).
How is property tax calculated?
Usually by area or value and the zone where the property is located, with rates set by law and local decisions. The tool gives you an indicative estimate.
When is property tax paid?
Usually once a year or in instalments, within the deadlines set by the municipality. Check the deadline to avoid fines and late-payment interest.
Why does the tax vary from city to city?
Because municipalities set the zones and some rates within legal limits, and property values differ by location.
