Residential property maintenance costs comprise three parts: tax, utilities, and insurance. Italy introduced a unique communal property tax called imposta unica comunale (IUC) on January 01, 2014. It is calculated on three taxes:
- Municipal property tax (imposta municipale unica, IMU). It is levied at 0.76% but not on the real estate used as primary residence;
- Waste tax (TARI) – about € 100;
- Municipal tax for road maintenance, street lighting, and so on.
On average, the tax on an 85 m² apartment is about € 850 per year.
As for utility payments, they depend on the property. Anywhere between € 200-5,000 per annum for an apartment, depending on its size, while a villa with a swimming pool will be somewhere between € 1,200-6,000 per annum.
The insurance fee depends on a property’s value and usually ranges from € 300-2,000 per annum (usually 1–2% of the property value)

I often have to warn clients about offers promising extremely high yields (7‑10%) and guaranteed rental contracts in the first few years of ownership. This is usually a sign of the property's illiquidity and the asking price being overestimated by at least 1.5 times. Buying such a property will usually involve paying for the 10% yield on top of everything else, and at the end of the guaranteed rental term the investor is likely to be left without the tenants and the chance to sell the property at a profit.
