Seltjarnarnes and Gardabaer lowering the levy
Thor Sigurgeirsson, mayor of Seltjarnarness, firmly assumes lowering the aluminum against the rising real estate appraisal published by HMS in the days.
« This is a very unfair taxation on the population. We have not yet managed to settle this, but I firmly assume that we will meet this in some way, » says Thor when asked.
The property valuation of housing assets in Seltjarnarnes is now increasing by 12.6%, according to newly released figures from HMS.
Not suitable or transparent to residents
Almar Guðmundsson, mayor of Gardabaer, intends to do the same. « I can totally declare that, as in previous years, we intend to lower the tax rate against this huge real estate ratio. »
According to HMS figures, the property valuation of housing in Gardabaer increases by 10.7%.
He also says it is urgent that real estate assessment issues will be revised in its entirety. « This is not an arrangement that is suitable or transparent to the residents. »
