Tax regimes
38 of Agrigento’s 43 comuni qualify for the 7% pensioner regime — 88% of the province’s towns, but 53% of the people who live in it.
The two differ because the regime caps comune size: the towns it excludes are the biggest ones. Where you’d actually be living matters more than how many towns are on the list.
Which towns, and how the 7% pensioner regime works →Seismic zones of its comuni
A province has no seismic zone of its own: each of its comuni has one. Here is how the 43 comuni of Agrigento are classified.
- Zone 1 (highest hazard)3
- Zone 227
- Zone 312
- Zone 4 (lowest hazard)1
Counts are comuni, not residents or land area. The zone is the legal classification each Region gave its comuni, not a forecast and not a verdict on any building. It has nothing to do with the 7% pensioner regime’s “seismic” routes, which depend on the 2009 and 2016–17 earthquake areas, not on a comune’s zone. See the map →
