The government adopted an emergency ordinance on December 17 requiring all local authorities to approve, by December 31, the local taxes and fees that will apply in 2026, effectively forcing city halls to implement substantial property tax increases in line with guidelines already legislated, Ziarul Financiar reported.
The ordinance obliges local councils and the General Council of Bucharest Municipality to adopt the new tax rates before the end of the year. Local administrations that fail to comply risk losing transfers from the central government budget.
