Like the UK I understand that there is

Go on to any Comune site where you are interested in buying and look for IUC (Imposta Unica Comunale), which you will find is house tax made up of TASI, IMU and TARI. The latter is rubbish tax and the other two house tax. The TARI is based on SQM, not sure about the other 2, but they both are also based on the castrale value which is normally less than the actual value. You would need to know this to work out the house tax. So likely you will not have any idea until you have a place you want to buy. However, unless it has a swimming pool and/or classed as luxury you are likely looking at less than any UK house... For a 260sqm house in Abruzzo , Teramo we paid under €500 for combined TASI and TARI, nothing for IMU as our comune had no charge for residents main house. HTH

If you are not going to be living there just now (not resident), then you would likely pay IMU as well as TASI. If we were also paying it we would be looking at around €750+ total for TARI, TASI and IMU.
