Leros municipal council voted on Saturday 14 November to raise its annual property levy by 20% from 1 January 2027. Under Law 5314/2026, the local development levy will replace the existing municipal property levy.
The council’s revenue office says the rate will rise from 0.025% of the value of a property to 0.030%. The statutory range is €0.30 to €0.70 per €1,000.
What owners will pay
The bill depends on the area of the property, its local valuation rate and, for buildings, an allowance for age. The council gave examples for a 100-square-metre home with an age coefficient of 0.90. In Agia Marina, Platanos and Panteli, the annual bill rises from €31.50 to €37.80. In Lakki it rises from €25.87 to €31.05, in Alinda from €29.25 to €35.10, in Kamara from €24.75 to €29.70 and in Partheni from €13.50 to €16.20.
Plots of land covered by the levy face the same rise. On a 1,000-square-metre plot in Lakki, the annual charge rises from €81.87 to €98.25.
What the council expects to raise
Leros collected €127,260.74 from the property levy in 2025. The revenue office estimates receipts of €152,712.88 in 2027, about €25,452 more. The money goes towards general council expenditure. Properties connected to the electricity supply will continue to pay through their electricity bills. The council will assess and collect the levy directly on properties without a connection.
