As Volodymyr Nagorny, an expert on land use relations and founder of the Volodar land agency, told AgroPolit.com, the price of land is expected to increase by 10% this year.
In particular, Nagorny recalled that at the beginning of 2025, the average price per hectare was $2,300, and at the end of 2025, it was $2,600.

What is the land tax in Ukraine?
-
According to lawyer Marina Barabash for Channel 24 , the amount of land tax in Ukraine is determined based on data from the State Land Cadastre, the register of rights to real estate, and the normative monetary valuation of the plot. They are the basis for taxation. Payers can use the electronic services of the tax office or tax notices-decisions to find out the amount of tax and check it.
-
When calculating the tax, the area of the land plot, its normative monetary valuation, taking into account indexation, and the tax rate set by the local council are taken into account. The payer can also calculate it independently. However, in order to verify the data, it is better to contact the relevant authorities.
-
The indexation coefficient of the normative monetary valuation is applied in 2026 for all categories of land and affects the tax base, which may change the amount of the tax. This means that the tax amount may vary depending on the updated land valuation and the local community's decision on the rate.
