Ministry of Development eliminates some fees for property owners

According to a press release from the ministry, the order establishing new regulations regarding the repeal of some fees paid by citizens for a public service, provided by an institution subordinate to the ministry, has been approved and sent for publication in the Official Gazette.

This concerns the exemption from payment of the fee for obtaining a land registry extract for information, when the applicant is the owner of the property, and at the same time, the fees for a cadastral plan extract and those for first registration will also be repealed.

Thus, from April 7, these services become free for owners who request the physical extract, at the counter, and, from June 2, the measure will also apply to owners who request these documents in the online system.

“The state is for the citizen, not the citizen for the state, and public services must be services provided to citizens, not profit-generating activities. We impose the state’s respect for citizens who pay taxes!”, said Minister Cseke Attila.

The minister also added that the tax will continue to be paid by individuals and legal entities requesting land registry extracts for real estate owned by another person.
