Owners of properties in disaster-affected areas will remain exempt from the ENFIA tax, with automatic adjustments and refunds expected through a new assessment process

Over 7 million Greek property owners will receive the 2026 ENFIA tax bills this week, with most seeing no change, while low-income families, large households, and insured homes benefit from discounts, and new property owners face higher charges

According to officials at the Ministry of Finance, the measure is designed to push a significant number of vacant homes back onto the market, boosting supply and helping to curb rising rental and sale prices.

Over 1 million Greek homeowners in small towns will receive ENFIA tax cuts next year, while property buyers, heirs, and those legalizing unauthorized buildings face higher bills. Key exemptions apply to insured homes and low-income households

In total, the measure will cover 12,720 settlements across Greece, home to over 2.1 million residents—both on the mainland and islands.

Properties valued at up to 500,000 euros that are insured against earthquakes, fires, and floods for the entire duration of 2024 will receive a 20% discount, double the 10% offered last year.

Taxpayers have until January 31 to declare changes in the form (E9) that determines the property tax they will pay for the following year.
