Over 30 neglected properties on Panevėžys's watch list; owners must clean up by August 1 or face higher taxes

Panevėžys municipality has identified more than 30 unmaintained properties within the city that fail to comply with cleanliness and order regulations. These neglected areas are now being added to a preliminary list of unused, abandoned, or poorly maintained plots.

The municipality has specified the addresses of these properties, which include numerous plots across various streets such as A. Baranausko g., Aguonų g., and Daukniūnų g. The list details over 30 specific locations requiring attention.

Owners of these properties are required to bring them into compliance with regulations by August 1. Failure to do so could result in the application of an increased land tax, as stipulated by a decision from the Panevėžys City Council.

Properties are considered neglected if the grass exceeds 20 cm in height, if the area is overgrown with low-value bushes, or if construction waste, trash, or unusable items are present. The presence of untidy or technically unfit vehicles, parts thereof, or structures like construction trailers that mar the environment also qualifies a plot as neglected. Owners who clean their properties before the August deadline must notify the municipality.
