Thanks for the great and factual info.
Did you get a letter or did you just go in and find out how much it was?

tks

Hi Lorraine -

We went in and asked, then decided to get it out of the way and just pay.  We've also been in and paid on behalf of quite a number of other owners on our complex.  That's why we're saying there doesn't appear to be any logic!

Andy and I went into the office and we paid 808 lira each we asked if this was a one off payment and the lad just srugged his shoulders and said it could be and then again they could ask again in a few years so who knows.Our place is on Lapis and is a 3 bedroom duplex and we are 2 names on the Tapu but we were told that it was calculated by the price quoted on your Tapu.

we went to pay our council tax and got asked to pay the road tax ,we wanted an explainnation on how the price was calculated and told by them that it depended on the price on your tapu
we were asked to pay 9OOytl but got the discount of 25%

Zabita came to our complex a couple of weeks back handing out the road tax bills for owners.

We paid ours and  we did ask about it, why etc.  we were told that if you have a tapu you have to pay.  Even if there's 20 apartments on a complex, each owner has to pay.  We could haver chosen not to pay, but we'd have lost the 1/4 off and so thought that we may as well pay.  Pretty cowardly, but the council tax had gone DOWN and didn't want to keep getting asked about it, accruing interest etc so paid.  It did take rather longer than we'd thought though.

So what can we expect to see for this road tax.Like some others in Ovacik,ours gets washed down the hill regularly,and to call it a road is like calling gordon brown a good prime minister!I dont mind dipping me and in me pocket,but a goat track is not a road,and knowing it will be dug up when they lay a main in ovacik( Apparently),is madness.Chocolate and fireguard have just leapt out at me....

Got asked for road tax when I went to pay council tax today, forgot all about the new tax and said I didn't have a car. A very nice turkish guy explained the situation - thank goodness. Cost @410TL for both.
Not bad ,but as I forgot, more than I had bargained for.This is for a three bedroom apartment. Roads around Tasyaka are not great, but I understand not the worst.
Still much cheaper than at home for a second home. Cheers Mary
