Re: Illegal buildings.
Got a feeling that imposing fines and helping the economy, might be the reason behind this, having said that its only recently having Drones allows them to carry out these searches? maybe Dominic could do a bit of work on the side for them?mouse wrote: ↑Tue Oct 19, 2021 2:32 pm I assume your in the do-do if you shoot the drone down thinking it's a neighbour spying on you ! Still people will get away with as much as they can for as long as they can so it makes sence to shorten the leash every so often.
PS Dominic I guess WHL didn't want to drone on about it !

Apparently a one-off tax is payable when the pool is first built, plus ongoing taxes as the property value is enhanced by the addition of a pool.
Of course, it's quite well known that many Greek owners cover their pools with camouflage nets, again to avoid the taxes due thereon. Greeks avoiding taxes, who'd have thunk it
