Seems like you're unaware, tenants of rented apartments aren't responsible for property taxes. Neither are persons with mortgages, the taxes are added to the mortgage amount and the bank pays it.

First off, being a pensioner does not equate to automatic exemption or deferral. They still have to pay it, and if they want to defer it then they must apply to request said deferral, and it's not guaranteed that a deferral will be granted. Young, old, rich, poor, and everybody who owns land or a building whether you own the land or not, has a tax liability.
But to answer your question
This property tax was conceived with only one purpose in mind.
To extort the widest cross section of the population into paying the state large sums of money for absolutely zero benefit to the taxpayer.
So are they doing land assessments right now? I know they had stopped doing it a long time agobluefete wrote:paid_influencer wrote:bluefete wrote:Section 45: - Where the state can thief your land after 16 years is what people should be concerned about.

Very much so because they could stall you for 16 years (via no assessment) and then thief the land.
