The Independent Authority for Public Revenue is expected to proceed with posting the property tax clearance statements for more than 7 million property owners from Saturday evening, with the total payment bill amounting to 2.3 billion euros.
Where taxpayers will see their property tax statement – How the tax payment will be made
The clearance statements will be available on the AADE digital platform and taxpayers will need to log in with their personal codes to see the amount of tax they owe. Payment will be made in 12 monthly installments. The first installment must be paid by March 31, 2026, which significantly limits the available time for taxpayers, while the last installment is due in February 2027.
Those who pay the tax in full upfront are not entitled to any discount, while those who want more than 12 interest-free installments have the option to include the debt in the permanent arrangement that provides up to 24 installments, which however carry interest.
Property tax statements will be “inflated” for those who acquired real estate through purchase, parental provision, donation or inheritance, or regularized unauthorized spaces in the previous year. Conversely, taxpayers who sold or transferred properties during 2025 will pay less tax as the value of their assets decreased. Those who had no changes will pay the same amount as last year since there were no changes in objective values, coefficients, or the property tax scale.
Who will see a discount on property tax
Discounts on the property tax bill will be seen this year by:
– About 500,000 taxpayers with insured homes secure a discount of up to 20%.
– Hundreds of thousands of taxpayers living in settlements with up to 1,500 inhabitants (or 1,700 inhabitants in certain border areas), excluding settlements in Attica except for the Regional Unit of Islands, will pay half the property tax for their main residence which does not exceed 400,000 euros.
– More than 700,000 taxpayers with very low incomes will receive a 50% discount or complete exemption from property tax. The 50% reduction in property tax applies to households with family income up to 9,000 euros, increased by 1,000 euros for each member, and real estate property within specified limits. Full exemption is granted to families with three or more dependent children and individuals with disabilities over 80%, provided income criteria are met. Taxpayers with properties in areas affected by natural disasters are also exempt from the tax.
Double property tax
Banks and servicers that have closed properties in their portfolio will pay double property tax this year. The surcharge does not apply to houses and apartments that have been rented for at least six months during 2025. According to available data, banks hold approximately 8,300 properties, while servicers hold another 11,000. Of these, 7,000 are residential, with the total cost of the additional tax estimated at about 20 million euros. The relevant provision is activated from this year and will remain in effect until 2028, while revenues from implementing the measure will be directed to actions supporting housing policy.
