The municipality introduced a fee for land valuation. Abuse of power, said the Constitutional Court and annulled it.

The Constitutional Court annulled a local fee in Čelechovice na Hané for land improvement linked to new water and sewage infrastructure. The Interior Ministry argued that the fee violated laws regarding local taxes and infrastructure, as it was imposed for physical connections rather than the actual enhancement of land value. The court confirmed that the municipality misused its authority by charging fees for properties that were not yet developed. The ruling emphasized that fees should only be applied in the year of infrastructure completion, which was not the case here. A representative from Čelechovice expressed concerns about losing funding for infrastructure investments.
