These Strata Will Not Pay Key Tax in 2026: Find Out How You Can Know if You Apply
With the start of the tax calendar in the country's main cities, thousands of property owners wonder if they meet the requirements to be exempt from paying property tax.
TL;DR
- Property owners are determining eligibility for property tax exemptions for 2026.
- Homes in strata 1 and 2 are exempt if their cadastral appraisal does not exceed 16 minimum monthly wages (approximately $20,800,000 for 2026).
- Properties exclusively used for religious worship, such as churches and monasteries, are also exempt.
- Victims of armed conflict with properties in land restitution processes or abandoned due to violence may receive exemptions.
- It is often necessary to formally apply for these benefits with the local treasury department before the deadline.
- Properties in stratum 1 exceeding the legal appraisal limit may still qualify for a lower preferential tariff.
