Residents and businesses can now settle their debts in up to 48 monthly instalments, under a notice signed by the Mayor, Dimitrios Markou.
The scheme is being activated under Article 513 of the new Local Government Code (Law 5314/2026) and decision 126/2026 of the Municipal Council, taken at the session of 8 September. On application, assessed debts of every kind owed to the Municipality can be brought into the scheme — only those arising from contracts are excluded.
How many instalments you are entitled to
The number of instalments is chosen freely by the debtor, within the ceiling that corresponds to the size of the debt:
• For debts up to 3,000 euros: up to 24 instalments • For debts from 3,000.01 to 10,000 euros: up to 36 instalments • For debts above 10,000 euros: up to 48 instalments
In every case the minimum monthly instalment is set at 30 euros.
Twelve extra instalments for older debts
For debts more than five years old, the ceiling is increased by twelve instalments — without ever exceeding the overall maximum of 48.
Up to 50% written off for recipients of the Minimum Guaranteed Income
There is a special provision for vulnerable residents. For recipients of the Minimum Guaranteed Income, the scheme cancels all interest, surcharges and penalties, and writes off up to 50% of the principal debt. The write-off follows a decision of the Municipal Council and requires the relevant approval document to be produced.
How to apply
Applicants submit an application and sworn declaration to the Municipality's Treasury Service. For debts above 5,000 euros a suitable supporting document must be attached as well — a tax assessment notice, for example. Recipients of the Minimum Guaranteed Income also produce their approval document.

The Municipality is urging residents to take up the chance to settle what they owe, "contributing to sound financial management and to the uninterrupted provision of services to the local community".
