What is the property-tax rate?

3% for built properties (housing or commercial), raised to 10% for a secondary built home used for housing, unoccupied and not rented, held by an individual (2025 finance law, art. 20).

How is the taxable base calculated?

Base = taxable surface × fiscal rental value per m² (520 DA housing, 1038 DA commercial) × zone coefficient, with a 2%-per-year age abatement (capped at 25%) for dwellings (CIDTA art. 254).

Who is exempt from property tax?

Notably: State and commune property assigned to a public service, places of worship, public Wakf, and the owners' single low-income primary residence (tax ≤ 1,400 DA and income ≤ 2× SNMG, with a fixed 500 DA tax). New constructions are exempt until 1 January after completion.

Why 10% on a secondary home?

The 2025 finance law introduced a 10% higher rate on secondary built homes used for housing, unoccupied and not rented, held by individuals, to encourage occupying or renting out vacant homes.
