IPTU 2026 Fight Escalates: Campo Grande Veto, Juiz de Fora Decree Suspended

Overview

• Campo Grande mayor Adriane Lopes vetoed a unanimously approved council bill that would suspend Decree 16.402/2025 and restore the 2018 socio‑economic map for the garbage fee, sending the measure back to the legislature with a possible override and court fight ahead.
• The council’s proposal also set an administrative path for refunds to those who already paid the higher charge and required city rules within ten days, following reports of steep bill increases with cases exceeding 300 percent.
• In Juiz de Fora, a judge issued a preliminary injunction halting Decree 17.618/2025 that revised IPTU bases across 17 areas and ordered the chamber president to formally process a councillor’s annulment proposal within 48 hours.
• A Minas Gerais state prosecutor said the Juiz de Fora decree lacks validity because any real tax increase must be enacted by law passed by the legislature.
• Major cities continue 2026 rollouts: São Paulo updated its value map with annual caps of 10 percent for homes and 12 percent for businesses and expanded exemptions, while Rio de Janeiro applied a 4.41 percent IPCA‑E adjustment and began mailing notices.
