Is there any way to find out how much we should be paying? Can we ask at the Beledyie offices? Everyone seems to be paying different amounts for similar properties.

Like Ann we found that everyone on our development paid different amounts-and with our luck we ended up paying the most!
We think that it depended on when each of us bought -obviously those that bought earlier paid less and then the developer reduces the amount declared to the Belediye. Our tax this year for 3 bed villa in Ovacik £50.50

That is correct. Council tax payable is directly linked to property value. I think I am right in saying that in a recent article in The land of Lies, oops I mean Lights, it is 0.1% of the declared value on your Tapu.
I also heard recently you do not receive a bill, it is up to you to go to the council when payment is due, and tell them the value of your property. Sounds a bit odd to me, although I believe they have a pretty good idea of your property value.
So unless all your neighbours, living in exactly the same properties,have the same declared values on their Tapu's everyone will pay a different amount of council tax, for exactly the same service,ie emptying rubbish bins.
Happy Days, keep taking the tablets, one day it will seem right!!
Cheers,

Tax is indeed .1% of declared value on Tapu and not the purchase price but the environmental charge (i.e. bin emptying etc) I think is now collected through the water bills.

We went to the Belediye today to pay our Council Tax, we were told that we don`t have to pay anything for the 1st year (only got our Tapu in March) but we were charged 40YTL for the name change, 4 Tapu`s x 10YTL.
The young lady told us to come back next May.

Nice one Crabbit,
I also got my Tapu in March, and was also under the impression that we did not pay anything for the first year after the sale is completed. I checked with my agent who told me they had paid my council tax for me for 2006 when the Tapu went through.
I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
