The Tres Cantos City Council has announced it will maintain the Property Tax (IBI) at the legal minimum of 0.4% and apply bonuses that will benefit 1,800 families, generating savings of 700,000 euros for residents in 2026.
This measure is part of a fiscal strategy designed to protect household economies, coinciding with the start of the tax collection campaign. The tax reductions are primarily aimed at people with disabilities, large families, and households with photovoltaic installations, with bonuses around 40% of the tax cost.

"Our priority is that the growth of Tres Cantos in all areas also benefits citizens because it is the best way to tell them that we are on their side against new state taxes."
The Council frames this decision within a context of demographic growth and urban development in Tres Cantos, seeking to maintain a municipal policy of low tax pressure on taxpayers. The local administration has also addressed the mandatory application of the new waste fee, derived from state regulations, for which it has designed a financial strategy to mitigate its impact.
The goal is to ensure that Tres Cantos remains among the municipalities with the lowest tax burden. Special mention has been made of the more than 1,000 large families who already enjoy a 50% or 75% reduction in their full IBI quota, depending on their category.

"Our objective is clear: to apply the maximum benefit allowed by law. If state regulations oblige us to collect a fee, we respond by reducing everything that depends on our direct competence as much as possible."
The municipal decision seeks to combine efficient management with the optimization of existing resources, ensuring that the city's growth does not increase tax pressure on residents, but rather allows for maximum adjustment of municipal fiscal margins.
