Real estate tax revenues grew: Kyiv and the region received the most

In January-July 2026, taxpayers transferred 8.4 billion UAH of real property tax to local budgets. This is 8.9% more than in the same period last year, reported the State Tax Service.

The budget of Kyiv received the most revenues - 1.8 billion UAH. Next come Kyiv region with 924.2 million UAH, Lviv region with 813.9 million UAH, and Dnipropetrovsk region with 811 million UAH.

Tax on residential real estate for individuals is charged not on the entire area, but only on square meters exceeding the established preferential norms. For an apartment, this is an area of more than 60 m²; for a residential building, more than 120 m². If an individual has different types of housing at the same time, the preferential limit is 180 m².

For example, if a person owns an apartment with an area of 75 m², according to the general rule, the tax will be calculated for 15 m² above the preferential norm. The exact amount depends on the rate set by local authorities.

The STS also advises owners to check the information on the basis of which they were assessed the tax. You can verify the list of real estate objects and shares in them, the total area of residential and non-residential premises, the right to the benefit, the rate applied, and the amount of the tax liability.

If a person has several objects in different settlements, for verification you need to contact the tax authority at your tax address. If necessary, the owner can provide documents confirming the right of ownership and characteristics of the real estate.

If after verification it turns out that the STS data does not correspond to the taxpayer-confirmed information, the tax authority must recalculate and issue a new tax notice-decision. The previous notice is canceled in such a case.

Individuals can check already generated tax notices-decisions through the Electronic Taxpayer Cabinet. If information about a particular object is not in the STS systems, the owner can independently provide title documents.

For comparison, in the first half of 2026, local budgets received almost 6.1 billion UAH of real estate tax. Consequently, as of the end of July, accumulated revenues increased by about another 2.3 billion UAH.
