How IMI works

IMI is Portugal's annual property tax, set by each municipality within a national band of 0.3% to 0.45% for urban properties. It is calculated on the Valor Patrimonial Tribut\u00e1rio (VPT), the tax office's assessment of the property's value, which is typically lower than the market price.

New properties and newly purchased properties may qualify for a 3-year IMI exemption if the VPT is below EUR 125,000 and the property is used as a primary residence. Properties in Urban Rehabilitation Areas (ARU) may qualify for a 5-year exemption.

IMI is paid annually, either in a single instalment (April) or split across two or three instalments depending on the amount.
