Tax regimes
28 of Medio Campidano’s 28 comuni qualify for the 7% pensioner regime — 100% of the province’s towns, but 100% 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 28 comuni of Medio Campidano are classified.
- Zone 1 (highest hazard)0
- Zone 20
- Zone 30
- Zone 4 (lowest hazard)28
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 →
