1. If you purchase and/or own land / Build a building / Purchase a building:-   

  Property tax is imposed on those who own land and/or building(s) as of January 1, each year 

*If you acquire land and/or buildings on or after January 2nd, then this tax is imposed on you in the following year.  

2. Have the land and/or building registered at the regional Legal Affairs Bureau, Kutchan branch.

 *【Important】If you register this property with a foreign address, you must appoint a tax agent who lives in Japan, to represent you locally (See notes below).

3. The regional Legal Affairs Bureau, Kutchan branch then reports the registration of your land/property to the Kutchan Town office.


4. In April, Kutchan Town office calculates the property tax owing. 

The amount of the tax is calculated by multiplying the registered value* of the land/building by 1.4%.

*The registered value(governor value) on the property tax roll, is not the sale/purchase price of the land/building, but a value determined by the local government.


 5. In mid-May, a tax notice is sent to the owner of the land and/or building. 

6. Payment of property tax reported in the tax notice (Payable at post offices and banks).

・Please report your current address in Japan to the Kutchan Town office.

* Also, always please report any future change of address. Do not forget to report it to the post office, too.

・If you have a bank account with a Japanese bank, you can arrange to have your property tax automatically withdrawn from your account. 

●Those who are only living in Japan for a short time, or live abroad:

・You are asked to appoint a tax agent, who can act on your behalf, in relation to tax matters. Please fill in the designated form and submit it to the Kutchan Town office.
