Sounds like a property tax is payable in Krakow from another thread.
Do other towns & cities in Poland charge something like the UK's council tax to property owners or tenants? If so, what is the general cost per annum?
In the UK we used to have the Rates system as a way for residents to fund local services (ie pay tax to local government) for things such as rubbish collection, street cleansing, street lights, etc etc. That became the Community Charge which was unaffectionately (by some) called the poll tax, and that then became what the UK has now, known as Council Tax (and it's usually around £1500 per annum or more for a house, as a very rough guide). Water and water drainage/sewerage, gas and electricity are of course billed additionally in the UK by utility companies.
