Boa Vista City Council Approves Green Property Tax, Which Grants Discounts on Tax for Residential and Commercial Properties That Adopt Sustainable Practices Such as Solar Energy, Water Reuse, and Green Areas.

Boa Vista advances on the environmental agenda with the approval of Bill No. 26/2025, authored by councilman Bruno Perez (MDB), which establishes the Green Property Tax. The initiative, approved by the City Council this Wednesday (24), offers discounts on the municipal tax to taxpayers who adopt sustainable practices in residential or commercial properties.

According to the legislator, the measure aims to align tax collection with public policies for environmental preservation. “The Green Property Tax is an incentive for more people to participate in this transformation,” Perez emphasized.

How the Benefit Will Work for Taxpayers

The project establishes that the discount will be granted to property owners who can prove the use of technologies and solutions recognized by the municipal government. To access the benefit, the property must be regularized and present documents such as Tax Liability Clearance Certificate, Building Permit, and Occupancy Permit, when necessary.

Sustainable Practices Covered by the Green Property Tax

The approved text lists a series of measures that ensure participation in the program. Among them are:

Installation of rainwater harvesting and reuse systems;
Use of photovoltaic solar energy, solar heating, or wind energy;
Construction with certified sustainable materials;
Adoption of passive energy, utilizing natural lighting and ventilation;
Separation of solid waste and encouragement of selective collection;
Planting trees and preserving green areas;
Minimum allocation of 30% of the lot for green space;
Maintenance of vacant lots clean and free of invasive species.

These measures reinforce the idea that the tax discount is more than an economic benefit: it is an incentive for behavioral change and collective commitment to the environment.

According to Bruno Perez, the implementation of the Green Property Tax marks a connection between urban development in the capital and socio-environmental responsibility. For him, sustainability should be seen as a priority, not a luxury.

“With the Green Property Tax, Boa Vista can become a reference in public policies that combine tax justice, environmental responsibility, and quality of life for citizens,” reiterated the councilman.

The regulation of the program will be the responsibility of the Executive Power, which will detail discount percentages and technical criteria for participation.

How the Benefit Will Work for Taxpayers

Sustainable Practices Covered by the Green Property Tax

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
