From 1 January 2012, municipal councils and the deliberative bodies of local authority groupings with their own tax status may exempt orchards, fruit crops of trees and shrubs and vines, each for its own share, from property tax on non-built-up properties.
This exemption may not exceed eight years and applies after the other exemptions from property tax on non-built-up properties pursuant to this code. The decision to institute the exemption is taken no later than 1st October of the previous year.
