Various Brazilian capitals have implemented different programs regarding the Urban Property and Territorial Tax (IPTU).

In six major cities, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília, tax exemptions are available for citizens aged 60 and older. These benefits are subject to specific municipal criteria, such as monthly income, property market value, and residential status. For instance, São Paulo offers full exemptions for certain retirees through a digital system, while Rio de Janeiro ties benefits to the assessed value of the property.

In Porto Alegre, taxpayers can access discounts for the 2027 tax year through the “CPF na Nota” program. By accumulating service invoices, residents can earn up to a 3% discount. This can be combined with a 3% “good payer” discount and a 5% discount for upfront payments, allowing for a total reduction of up to 11%.
