The Ministry of Development's recent ordinance clarifies that closing a balcony without authorization does not justify doubling the property tax for an entire apartment if the building was legally constructed. It specifies that penalties for unauthorized work are subject to a three-year statute of limitations, and owners can regularize their balconies at any time without facing excessive fees. The ordinance distinguishes between illegal constructions and minor modifications to legally built properties, ensuring that tax increases apply only to fully illegal buildings. Additionally, there is no deadline for regularizing closed balconies, and the ordinance aims to prevent disproportionate penalties for minor infractions.
