Property owners: the second IMI instalment is due today
Today is the last day to pay the second instalment of IMI, the annual municipal property tax, for owners whose bill is split across the year. Payment is made through Portal das Finanças or at any Finanças desk, using the reference on your settlement notice.
Why it matters for your move
IMI is charged on the taxable value (VPT) of the property, not on what you paid for it — so a recent buyer often meets this deadline before ever seeing a full year of ownership. Miss it and interest starts running; the amount and the instalment plan are both on your own notice in Portal das Finanças.
