The sums collected into the 2020 state budget as property tax was 41 844 600 lei. In a response for IPN, the State Tax Service said the taxpayers who didn’t pay the tax until December 28 will pay a penalty of 0.0210 % of the value of the unpaid tax for each day of delay.
 
The penalty is a sum calculated depending on the size of the tax and the period that passed from the day this was to be paid. It is mandatorily applied by the State Tax Service or another responsible body. Before launching the forced execution of arrears of private individuals on the property tax, the Service will enable the taxpayers to voluntarily settle the arrears in a reasonable timeframe.

The property tax is paid on the property owned by private individuals in the form of dwellings and vacation houses (except for land) whose total estimated value is 1.5 million lei and more, while the total area is 120 square meters and more.

The property tax is calculated by the State Tax Service based on information provided by the Public Services Agency, according to the situation on November 1 of the given year specified in the Real Estate Register.
