This time there are three things owners, landlords and buyers should know: the preliminary dates of the ski season, a proposal that would raise the tax assessments of property from 2027, and the rules for short-term rentals that now apply on Airbnb and Booking. Here is a short summary based on official announcements and published sources.<\/p>\n<h2>Ski Season 2026\/2027: Preliminary Dates and Pass Prices<\/h2>\n<p>According to the preliminary schedule of the lift operator, Yulen, reported on 18.10.2026, the winter season in Bansko is planned to run from <strong>01.12.2026 to 11.04.2027<\/strong>. The operator notes that the dates may change depending on the weather, the snow cover and other circumstances. Last season opened on 13.12.2025, so the final date will depend on the snow.<\/p>\n<p>Season passes for 2026\/2027 are sold at promotional prices until <strong>01.12.2026<\/strong> (inclusive):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>adults \u2014 870 EUR;<\/li>\n<li>students, pupils aged 12 to 18.99 and pensioners up to 74.99 \u2014 820 EUR;<\/li>\n<li>children aged 7 to 11.99 \u2014 460 EUR;<\/li>\n<li>children up to 6.99 and pensioners aged 75 and over \u2014 55 EUR.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Check the current conditions on the official banskoski.com site before buying.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What it means for owners:<\/strong> if you rent out short-term, December bookings depend heavily on the opening date. Plan flexible conditions for the first two weeks of December and set your prices for the holidays now.<\/p>\n<h2>Proposed Increase in Property Tax Assessments from 2027<\/h2>\n<p>The Ministry of Finance has published a draft amendment to the Local Taxes and Fees Act. The public consultation ran from 23.09.2026 to 23.10.2026. The draft raises the base values used to calculate the tax assessment of buildings and land, compared with 2026, by these coefficients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2027 \u2014 <strong>1.3<\/strong> (about 30% higher);<\/li>\n<li>2028 \u2014 <strong>1.65<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li>2029 \u2014 <strong>2.0<\/strong> (double the 2026 level).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>This is a proposal, not a law.<\/strong> It still has to be adopted by Parliament, and the final numbers may change.<\/p>\n<p>Why it matters for property owners:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Annual property tax.<\/strong> It is calculated on the tax assessment, so a higher assessment means a higher tax, even if the municipal rate stays the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waste collection fee.<\/strong> In many municipalities it is also linked to the tax assessment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buying and selling.<\/strong> The local transfer tax and notary fees are calculated on the higher of the price and the tax assessment. For most market deals in Bansko the agreed price is higher, so the effect there should be smaller, but it is worth checking for older or cheaper properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We will follow the bill and write again when there is a final decision.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-32904\" src=\"https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Bansko with the Pirin Mountains\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-1067x600.jpg 1067w, https:\/\/localpropertyexpert.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/header-496x279.jpg 496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Short-Term Rentals: Registration Number Required<\/h2>\n<p>Since <strong>20.05.2026<\/strong>, EU Regulation 2024\/1028 on short-term rentals applies.
