Refis comes into effect in Piracicaba: see how debt negotiation works and service locations by type of debt
The Fiscal Regularization Program (Refis 2026) has been implemented in Piracicaba, offering significant tax debt relief to residents.
The Fiscal Regularization Program, also known as Refis 2026, was officially launched on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, following the approval by the Mayor of Piracicaba, Helinho Zanata. This program allows local residents to regularize their municipal debts with the city through special conditions that include discounts of up to 100% on fines and interest charges. It is aimed at helping individuals and businesses facing financial difficulties to get back on track with their local taxation obligations.
The municipal government of Piracicaba has established multiple locations to assist taxpayers interested in participating in the program and offers various mechanisms for settling debts, whether they are tax-related or non-tax debts including those for public housing. Eligible debts that occurred up to the end of 2025 can be addressed through this initiative, whether they are already enrolled in active debt or currently undergoing administrative or judicial collection processes. Citizens are encouraged to take part in the program by adhering within a 120-day window set by the municipality.
This initiative reflects a broader trend in municipalities seeking to enhance fiscal recovery and support local economies amid challenging economic conditions. It provides residents with an opportunity to ease their financial burdens while simultaneously improving municipal revenue. The program not only aims to benefit taxpayers but also to stabilize the city's finances through increased tax collection, which is critical for funding essential public services and infrastructure development in Piracicaba.
