Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that property tax must be levied on newly constructed urban properties from the date of actual occupation. The appellant argued for an exemption based on the timing of the habitation license relative to occupation. The court rejected this, establishing that tax liability commences upon occupation, irrespective of whether the license predates or postdates that event.
