Lawyer Demands Taibe Municipality Cancel Property Tax Debt
Lawyer Shuaa Masarwa Mansour has formally requested the Taibe Municipality cancel a property tax debt registered against a building owned by a local family. Representing the family, Mansour argued in a letter to the municipality that the building in question is abandoned and therefore exempt from property taxes, a fact the municipality is aware of. He further stated that the family owns other properties and pays hundreds of thousands of shekels annually in taxes for them, deeming the debt notice from the Taibe Municipality illegal.
The family, through their legal representative, is seeking the cancellation of the debt, asserting that the municipality's claim is unlawful given the property's status. The case highlights a dispute over property tax obligations for abandoned structures within the municipality.
