City Planning Tax
In areas designated for urban development, people who own land or buildings are required to pay City Planning Tax（都市計画税）. This tax is used to fund public infrastructure like roads and parks and support the organized growth of cities. It applies to land and buildings that are subject to property tax, and the amount is determined based on their assessed value. The tax rate varies by municipality, but it is generally set at 0.3% or lower of the assessed value. It plays an important role in funding local infrastructure improvements.
