Government Proposes Eliminating House Taxes for All Homeowners in 2026(DECEMBER 19TH, 2025)
In a move aimed at alleviating financial burdens on residents, Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre has announced a proposal to exempt all local residential property owners from paying house taxes in the 2026 financial year. This exemption, regardless of the size or location of their homes, is outlined in the Land and House Tax Amendment Bill. The initiative is part of the government’s strategy to keep more money in the pockets of households, a key focus area of the 2025/2026 budget, which emphasizes land, housing, and national development.
