The Municipality of Córdoba began sending the payment slips for the service fees corresponding to the 2026 fiscal period. The municipal ruling party keeps that the 28.14% adjustment for the Property Tax is below the accumulated provincial inflation. The official argument seeks to justify the new tax burden that taxpayers will have to face in a context of recession.
Taxpayers who choose annual payment will freeze the increase at 28.14% and will avoid bimonthly CPI-based adjustments. Those who decide to pay on a monthly basis will be subject to the discretion of increases tied to the price index. This modality transfers the inflationary risk directly to the pocket of the resident who doesn't have the liquidity to pay everything at once.
