As we are not back in Turkey until APRIL, we are wondering when payment is due. And is there a penalty for late payment.
Thanks
Hugh

Hi to all -  My council tax was paid today 21st April 2015 and has doubled also,  have no issue whatsoever with the new payments required based on the new infrastructures put in place over the last few years.
The roads, paths, street lights, walk way promenades and sit down areas have all been renovated well.  Compared to what council tax we pay in UK it is still very cheap, and agree that everything put into place needs to be paid for.

Jack you are absolutely right on the disgraceful state of the roads and areas following the Canalisation work, DSI money was available I believe for the canal work and no council money for the roads etc.and we are still in the literal mess 18-24 months later!

Briscoa the long list of projects you make above are not funded by the council tax we pay, basically that pays for the bins and rubbish/recycle to be done, which is why we are questioning the doubling of the tax, and the impact it has on poorer local Turks.  The other projects are mainly funded from central government grant to local councils.  And it looks like with last year's local council re-organisation shifting the economic power to Mugla; the national economic decline and of course peoples failure in this area, and in Mugla, to vote AKP, means that there is less money about for new or renewal projects in Fethiye.

Anyone know what happens if you just don't bother paying your council tax ?
