In Bucharest, property taxes could rise dramatically from 1,044 to 27,500 lei annually due to market value assessments and luxury taxes. Gabriel Biriș, a former finance official, highlights the potential burden on low-income homeowners, particularly pensioners. The proposed tax reform, initially set for January 2027, has sparked debate after Biriș illustrated the stark contrast between current and potential tax liabilities. The luxury tax applies to properties valued over 2.5 million lei, compounding the financial strain on owners. Although Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare announced a delay in implementing the market value taxation, no legal framework currently supports this postponement. Meanwhile, property taxes have already increased significantly since January 2026, affecting many homeowners.
