I went yesterday to the Beledeye with a Turkish friend to check on the road tax situation. We went in the office behind the counter to see if we had to pay, we moved to a new villa in Gunlukbasi in May this year and one of the neighbours had been charged. We were told we have nothing to pay the debt is from 2008 when the new road was done the owner of the villa at that time is responsible for paying (the builder).
I was worried the debt would be on the house but he assured me it is a personal debt and nothing to do with the property. The law was passed in 2008 to allow the council to charge for road building, they have only this year started collecting the money.
