This tax reduction measure (tax system to promote the life of condominiums) is a system to support consensus building for condominiums where it is difficult to reach an agreement on raising the reserve for repairs or implementing large-scale repairs. For this reason, certified condominiums that have raised the reserve for repair and performed large-scale repair work may be eligible for a reduction in property tax.
※If a sufficient reserve for repair has been secured as of September 1, 2021, tax reduction measures are not eligible even if the management plan has been approved.

For details, please refer to the page of the condominium life extension promotion tax system or the following materials.

Please pay attention to the following points.

• If there is a delinquency in the repair reserve, is there a monthly account receivable statement attached?
• Does the delinquent amount of the repair reserve cover the total amount of delinquent amount when there is a delinquency for three months or more?
• Are the total amount of repair reserve funds calculated accurately based on the long-term repair plan?
• Are you not attaching unnecessary items such as previous year's financial statements or incomplete items without dates as materials?
