Italian towns roll out volunteer tax waivers and secure ownership of historic chapel

The municipality of Cesa, Italy, announced a program that cancels local property tax (TARI) debts for residents who devote time to public‑service work such as cleaning and maintaining public spaces. Applications are prioritized for families affected by workplace‑related deaths or injuries and must be submitted by 15 July 2026.

Separately, the council of Correzzana confirmed that the former Guzzafame chapel has formally become municipal property after a lengthy legal process. The acquisition, completed through usucapione, resolves a century‑old ownership dispute and clears the way for potential public development of the historic building.

Both actions reflect local governments’ efforts to address community needs and resolve longstanding administrative issues.
