The Municipality of Esposende has begun the public consultation period for the Draft Municipal Regulation on Tax Benefits, aiming to boost the local economy and social life.

The Municipality of Esposende has commenced the public consultation period for the Draft Municipal Regulation on Tax Benefits. The document, published in the Diário da República on October 15, 2026, series II, no. 200/2026, will be open for contributions for 30 days, concluding on November 26, before proceeding to final approval.
The Esposende Municipal Council approved the draft regulation, which intends to establish a municipal tax policy focused on housing, investment, urban rehabilitation, and job creation. The goal is to make Esposende more attractive for living, investing, and conducting economic activity.
A key objective is to increase housing availability by encouraging the rental market and the permanent use of the housing stock. The draft proposes fiscal differentiation for primary residences and housing rentals, with specific considerations for properties remaining as second homes.
This public consultation period allows citizens, businesses, and other interested entities to review the proposal and submit suggestions. The documents are available for consultation on the municipality's official website.
