The GAP Institute has released new data concerning the financial performance of local governments, specifically detailing trends in municipal revenues generated from property taxes. According to the institute’s findings, total municipal revenues derived from property taxes experienced a significant upward trend in 2025 when compared to the preceding year, 2024. The data indicates that the aggregate revenue from this source climbed by 19 percent in 2025, reaching a total value of €39.1 million.
The GAP Institute reported this substantial increase, providing a clear metric for the growth in local fiscal capacity. Furthermore, the analysis highlighted specific municipalities that led the growth in property tax collections. For 2025, the highest percentage increases in municipal revenues were recorded by Podujeva, Suhareka, Viti, Istog, and Gjilan.
These areas demonstrated the most pronounced year-over-year growth in property tax receipts. While the report provided comprehensive details on the expanding revenues, it also noted areas experiencing decreases. However, the published data segment regarding the specific municipalities that saw declines in their property tax revenues was incomplete.
Overall, the figures suggest a robust financial year for many local authorities, as reflected by the overall increase in municipal tax revenues recorded by the GAP Institute.
