The Romanian Minister of Development, Alexandru Stoica, announced potential changes to the law that would double taxes on apartments with unauthorized closed balconies. He aims to eliminate this tax increase and help homeowners regularize their situations without facing fines or bureaucratic costs. The ministry has about ten months to propose solutions, considering various cases where owners may not even know if they need to comply with legal requirements. In Timișoara, local associations express concerns about the Urbanism Code, while the city hall reassures residents that no additional taxes will be imposed until a final decision is made at the central level.
