Overview

• All parliamentary factions have signaled support for revising the January 2025 property tax reform to ease burdens on citizens.
• A committee referral of the AfD’s motion to abolish the property tax failed to secure a majority, ending calls for full abolition.
• The governing CDU-BSW-SPD coalition backs relief from 2027 while the Left Party argues for relief starting in 2026.
• Both reform plans would empower municipalities to set separate levy rates for residential and non-residential properties.
• Thuringia’s property tax raised almost €254 million in 2023, meaning abolition would require offsetting revenue losses through higher taxes or spending cuts.
