  • An unbuilt plot has no residential building and so pays no municipal property fee; the state charges property tax of 1 % of the assessed value instead (Skatteverket). Once a house is built, the property fee applies.
  • The bank decides – a plot is not a home under the Act (2026:226) s. 2.
  • The interest deduction (30 % of interest, 21 % above SEK 100,000 a year) is a tax reduction: it counts against your tax and needs enough tax to reduce (Income Tax Act ch. 67 s. 10).
How this is worked out

A month = (interest − tax reduction + amortisation) ÷ 12 + the property tax ÷ 12. Tax reduction 30 % up to SEK 100,000 of interest a year, 21 % above. Amortisation per Act 2026:226 s. 7. Unbuilt plot: state property tax 1 % of the assessed value, no property fee.
