Tarragona proposes a reduction in property tax for protected housing and social rental
What happened
Diari de Tarragona reported on September 11 that Tarragona will reduce property tax by 95% for officially protected housing or social rental, including certain homes in the mediation pool. This is a local proposal, not a general deduction already in effect.
How this may affect your property
If you own a home in Tarragona designated for social rental, the measure could change your tax costs when approved; check the specific requirements before budgeting for it.
What you can do now
- Consult the current municipal ordinance and retain documentation proving the use of your home.

Marin County announces tax credits for affordable housing
What happened
Marin County announced on September 10 $27 million in tax credits for an affordable housing project on a former Coast Guard site. The news refers to that project, not an automatic deduction for every landlord.
How this may affect your property
The funding may expand the local supply of affordable housing; it does not independently change your rental tax declaration.
What you can do now
- Review tax notices from your jurisdiction and consult with an advisor before applying credits from other projects.
