Reduction in IMI in Castelo Branco drops 20% for rented properties

The Municipal Council of Castelo Branco approved a 20% reduction in IMI for urban properties with active housing rental contracts, to apply to 2027 assessments, pending approval from the Municipal Assembly. The measure, demanded by the SEMPRE coalition (PSD/CDS-PP) about a year ago, requires landlords to submit applications by November 15 with supporting documentation. In the same meeting, the socialist executive set the variable IRS participation at 0.5%, while the opposition advocated for an immediate 0%, a proposal that was rejected.

They buy a house and discover that neighbors can park two cars on their property

A family bought a house and discovered, after the acquisition, that the neighbors have the right to park two cars on their property. The case illustrates that being a property owner does not guarantee absolute control over all land uses, as there are rights of way or easements that can limit the use of the property even after the sale.

Have you seen forks stuck in plant pots? Find out what they're for and how this simple trick can help avoid a common problem

Placing forks stuck in the soil of pots and garden beds is a homemade trick recommended by horticulture experts to deter cats that dig, lie down near plants, or use these spaces for their needs. Oregon State University and the RSPCA suggest that this physical barrier creates obstacles that make it more difficult for the animal to walk or find a comfortable surface, although it is not a foolproof solution and should be combined with understanding the reasons that attract the cat to the location. In addition to forks, there are other alternatives such as nets, pine cones, stones, gravel, strongly scented plants or motion-activated sprinklers, always taking care to avoid methods that could injure the animals.

Did you inherit a rustic or mixed land? You have until this date to register it for free

Anyone who inherited a rustic or mixed land has until September 30 to register it for free through BUPi, benefiting from the fee exemption provided by law. After that date, the special registration procedure will cost 250 euros, plus 50 euros for each additional property, and georeferenced identification will also have costs. The law distinguishes between identifying the land on the BUPi platform and proceeding with registration at the Land Registry Office, warning that inheriting does not automatically update ownership. Recent legislation has also expanded the requirement to indicate the georeferenced graphic representation number in property transfers.

If the landlord doesn't tell you anything by this date, you can contest the rent increase in January

In Portugal, tenants can contest rent increases for January 2027 if the landlord does not respect the minimum 30-day communication deadline, as established in Article 1077 of the Civil Code. The communication must be made by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, indicating the update coefficient and the new amount, and must be sent in advance of the rent due date. A late notice does not eliminate the landlord's right to increase the rent later, but delays the application of the increase. Tenants should not assume that refusing the letter prevents a valid update, nor should they stop paying the legally owed rent while contesting the increase.

THE WONDER WON. NOW IT'S CASTELO BRANCO'S TURN TO WIN

The Jardim do Paço Episcopal of Castelo Branco was distinguished as one of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal in the Tourism category, in a vote organized by EIP – New 7 Wonders Portugal with PwC auditing, which involved 629 applications and regional phases up to the grand final of 2026. This opinion column congratulates the achievement, explains the competition process, questions the municipal investment made, and calls for the victory not to remain limited to televised celebration. The author recommends that the Municipal Council create an integrated tourism product, extend visits with nighttime and cultural experiences, link the notoriety to the Embroidery of Castelo Branco, bet on the Spanish and national markets, and measure concrete results to transform the title into visitors, wealth and jobs for the city.
