Starting in 2027, property taxes in Romania may increase significantly, potentially based on market value rather than just area and location. This change could lead to tax hikes of up to five times for homeowners in affluent neighborhoods, particularly affecting older properties. Although the proposal is part of the government's agenda, some political factions express concerns about its impact on low-income citizens. Experts warn that accurately determining market value for taxation purposes is challenging. Additionally, properties valued over 2.5 million lei may incur a luxury tax, further increasing financial burdens on homeowners. Critics argue that such measures could displace ordinary residents and disproportionately affect those in central areas.
