🏘️ VMI

Real estate tax

From 1 January 2026 a new model applies. The main home (declared residence) is tax-free up to 450,000 EUR of taxable value — the excess is taxed at the municipal 0.1–1% rate. Other property is taxed progressively: up to 50,000 EUR — 0%, 50–200k — 0.2%, 200–400k — 0.4%, 400–600k — 0.6%, 600k–1m — 0.8%, above 1m — 1%. Residents need not file anything — VMI calculates the tax automatically from the Registrų centras values.

Who this applies to

Owners of more than one property or an expensive home. With one home under 450,000 EUR there is no tax at all; for spouses the threshold applies to each share separately, so a family can reach 900,000 EUR combined. From 2026 Registrų centras updated the mass-valuation values — check your property's taxable value in the RC calculator by its unique number.

Step by step

Check the taxable value

Enter the property's unique number in the Registrų centras calculator to see the value effective from 2026.

Await the VMI notice

For 2026 VMI will calculate the tax by 1 March 2027 and post the notice in Mano VMI — no self-filed return is needed.

Pay by the deadline

For residents the 2026 tax is due by 15 March 2027. Late payment accrues interest.

Common mistakes

Not declaring residence at your main home — without it the 450,000 EUR exemption does not apply.
Forgetting the second home is taxed from just 50,000 EUR — the burden on investment property rose in 2026.
Letting property be listed as neglected — municipally listed neglected property faces much higher rates with no reliefs.

Frequently asked questions

Will I pay tax on my only flat?

If your residence is declared there and the value is under 450,000 EUR — no. Most single-home owners pay nothing.

How much for a 300,000 EUR second home?

The first 50,000 EUR — 0%, from 50,001 to 200,000 — 0.2% (300 EUR), from 200,001 to 300,000 — 0.4% (400 EUR). Total — 700 EUR per year.
