Overview
- Madrid approved 2026 fiscal ordinances that lower the IBI rate to 0.414% and add a resident-count factor to the waste-fee formula, with an expected average bill of €142.60.
- The capital will keep a fixed charge linked to cadastral value and a variable component tied to household size and neighborhood separation data, forecasting about €300 million in revenue while excluding street-cleaning costs.
- Fundació ENT reported the 2025 household average at €116.32, a 16.2% rise on 2024 and the decade’s largest increase, while current revenues cover only about 65% of waste-service costs.
- Ourense advanced an ordinance raising the annual household charge from €121 to €181 and introducing pay-by-generation rules for major producers, with a 100% waiver for vulnerable households and a 50% discount for composting.
- Other moves included O Morrazo opening a 30‑day challenge period after street protests over steep increases, Móstoles proposing another IBI cut with wide bonifications, Cartes and San Javier approving higher charges, and Santurtzi’s opposition condemning a proposed 306% hike.
