Decree overturned, but no change

The Regional Administrative Court has ruled to overturn the city’s president’s decree to introduce a fee of 25% for those changing the use of a property. This would for example effect developers who would purchase rural area but want to turn it into a residential area. However, even though this decree has been over turned the city and the treasury can still take a similar due to an existing law. [Love Krakow]
