Oslo council pledges to scrap residential property tax in 2027 budget
Oslo's city council announced a 2027 budget that eliminates the property tax on housing, fulfilling a key coalition promise.
The municipal budget for 2027 presented by Oslo's council removes the residential property tax entirely. Council leader Eirik Lae Solberg said the measure delivers on the centre-right coalition's main election pledge. The proposal is timed as a new poll shows declining support for Høyre and a slipping majority for the governing bloc. Residents will be able to view one outlet tax contributions of their neighbourhoods through an online tool.
Why it matters
Eliminating Oslo's residential property tax could reshape municipal finances and affect homeowners across the capital.
