Property owners in Portugal have one week remaining to pay the first installment of the Municipal Property Tax (Imposto Municipal sobre Imóveis or IMI). Taxpayers are encouraged to check their notices via mail or through the official tax portal to ensure compliance before the deadline at the end of May.

Context & Explainers

The municipal property tax (Imposto Municipal sobre Imóveis), known as IMI, is an annual tax on property ownership calculated from the property’s taxable value, with the exact rate set by each municipality. For expats who own property, IMI is a recurring local cost that can vary by location and is often central to policy discussions about housing affordability.
