Following the significant increases in property taxes, the AK Party took action in response to the reactions from citizens. While the tax increases in some districts have led to intense criticism, a comprehensive study for regulation has been initiated within the party.



NEW FORMULA: AUTOMATIC VALUATION



According to a report by Türkiye Gazetesi, the AK Party's Economic Affairs Presidency, Local Governments Presidency, and Parliamentary Group are working on alternative formulas related to the issue. Among the options on the table, it is emphasized that instead of determining the market value through commissions, it should be automatically updated every year with fixed rates. While automatic increases are applied under normal market conditions, it is planned that commissions will step in to determine the market value during extraordinary periods.



OBJECTION PERIOD EXPIRES ON SEPTEMBER 8



In the current system, property taxes are determined every four years by commissions that include representatives from the municipality. Taxes are paid in two installments every year in May and November. The objection period for the new values will end on September 8. Citizens express their concern that if no regulation is made by this date, they will be victimized. However, it is stated that this victimization can be prevented with a legal regulation.



ERDOĞAN HAD GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS



President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had given instructions during the AK Party's Central Executive Committee meeting regarding the issue. AK Party Local Governments Chairman Mustafa Demir stated that they will not allow increases that do not reflect real market conditions, saying, "Under the leadership of our President, we will prevent victimization. We have a municipal understanding that does not burden our citizens but allows them to breathe."
