Answer
Is there an IMI exemption for people buying a home?
Yes. If the property is intended as your primary permanent residence, you may benefit from a temporary IMI exemption for up to 3 years, provided you meet the legal criteria in force, namely property VPT limits and household income limits. In some municipalities, this benefit may be extended for another 2 years.
