Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is taxed under the Estonian land tax (maamaks)? +

Who sets the land tax rates in Estonia? +
Local municipal councils (kohalikud omavalitsused) establish the annual rate within statutory ranges: 0.1% to 0.5% for residential land and agricultural land, and 0.1% to 1.0% for commercial and production land.
When is land tax payable to the Tax and Customs Board (EMTA)? +
Land tax is payable in two equal installments: by March 31 and by October 1. If total annual land tax is under €64, it must be paid in full by March 31. Amounts under €5 are not issued.
How does the annual land tax increase protection cap work? +
Following the 2022 nationwide land revaluation, the Land Tax Act includes a statutory protection mechanism limiting annual tax increases to 10% (or a minimum increase of €20 per year) to prevent sudden tax shocks for property owners.
