If you own real estate in Colombia, it\u2019s important to understand the changes to the property tax assessment (aval\u00fao catastral) for 2025.<\/span><\/p>

Each year, the national government establishes a percentage increase for these values, which can affect the amount of property tax you\u2019re required to pay.<\/span><\/p>

Through Decree 1609 of 2024, the government determined the adjustment of property tax assessments for the upcoming year. Here\u2019s a clear and simple breakdown.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The <\/span>aval\u00fao catastral<\/span><\/i> is the official value assigned to a property for tax and administrative purposes.<\/span>
<\/span>It serves as the basis for calculating taxes such as the property tax (<\/span>impuesto predial<\/span><\/i>), so any changes to this value can directly impact what you pay each year.<\/span><\/p>

This value is updated periodically and adjusted annually based on various economic indicators, such as inflation and the Property Valuation Index (IVP).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

According to Decree 1609 of 2024, the property tax assessment will increase by <\/span>3%<\/b> for most properties in Colombia.<\/span>
<\/span>This adjustment is based on the inflation target projected by the Bank of the Republic for 2025, which is 3%.<\/span><\/p>

Here are the updated values for different property types:<\/span><\/p>

\u2714 Urban properties not formed or updated in 2024: 3% increase<\/span>
<\/span>\u2714 Rural properties not formed or updated in 2024: 3% increase<\/span>
<\/span>\u2714 Rural properties used for agricultural activities: 3% increase<\/span><\/p>

\ud83d\udccc Exception: Properties that were automatically updated in 2024 using IGAC\u2019s mass update methodology will not receive this additional increase.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

How does this affect property owners?\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>

The adjustment in the <\/span>aval\u00fao catastral<\/span><\/i> directly impacts the property tax amount. Although the 3% increase seems moderate, it adds to other factors such as possible changes in the tax rate set by your local municipality.<\/span><\/p>

Example:<\/b>
<\/b>If your property was assessed at COP $200 million in 2024, it would now be assessed at COP $206 million in 2025.<\/span>
<\/span>This could lead to a proportional increase in your property tax depending on the rate applied in your area.<\/span><\/p>

Exceptions and special cases<\/b><\/p>

There are some exceptions to this adjustment:<\/span><\/p>

  • Bogot\u00e1 and decentralized cadastral systems:<\/b> Properties in Bogot\u00e1 and those managed by independent cadastral entities may have different valuation indices.<\/span><\/li>
  • Recently updated properties:<\/b> If your property was reassessed in 2024 through a detailed technical update, it won\u2019t be subject to the 3% increase.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    If you believe your property was overvalued and this significantly affects your taxes, you can <\/span>request a reassessment <\/b>from the Agust\u00edn Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC) or your local cadastral authority.<\/span><\/p>

    \ud83d\udd39 <\/span>Deadline:<\/b> There\u2019s typically a specific window after the new assessment is published for submitting a request.<\/span>
