In the canton La Libertad, $ 65,000 was collected until 3:00 p.m. on Monday 3. In that town there were more than 800 transactions.
The payment of property taxes began with a 10% discount in municipalities of the three peninsular cantons.
In Salinas, despite the fact that the municipal office responded from 08:30, users arrived hours before.
Upon admission, municipal staff applied anti-COVID-19 biosafety protocols, such as hand disinfection and application for the vaccination card.
Until 10:00 this Monday 3, around 300 people had completed the procedure that in these first fifteen days of the year grants a 10% discount. The profit percentage will decrease every fifteen days until the end of next June.
For this 2022 an increase was contemplated for the contribution of improvements for works, whose item does not exceed 1% or 2%, informed Eduardo Hesney, general coordinator of the Salinas council.
The council estimates to exceed the collection of 2021 that was the lowest in the last seven years, Hesney added, without specifying figures.
The hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 17:30 at the collection agencies located in the municipal building, Property Registry and Municipal Transit Office (in Chipipe).
In the canton La Libertad, the day was carried out normally and without setbacks in the three authorized collection points: Municipal Palace and Buenaventura Moreno Shopping Center, from 08:30 to 17:30; and Municipal Medical Center, from 07:30 to 16:30.
In this town, the vaccination card is not required for the process, since the collection windows are located outside the municipal building. A similar situation is replicated in the other two points.
As of 3:00 pm today, according to data from the council, there were more than 800 transactions with $ 65,000 in collection, reported Jennyffer Carvajal, a municipal spokesperson.
In the municipal building of Santa Elena there was also evidence of taxpayer attendance this Monday 3.
The schedule for tax collection is uninterrupted, from 08:00 to 19:00, the council said on its social networks.
To enter, users must present the identity card and the vaccination card or certificate.
Users of the three cantons can also cancel property tax values through online payments and virtual banking in financial entities available according to each municipality. (I)
