The aim of the study is to assess the fiscal efficiency of real estate tax on the example of four selected communes located in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodeship. Design/methodology/approach: At the beginning, the current structure of the analysed taxis shown. Then, the structure of revenues of local government units was presented and the importance of revenues from real estate tax was indicated. Cadastral tax has been defined and its essence explained. The advantages and disadvantages of ad valorem tax, both from the taxpayer’s and the commune’s point of view, have been identified.
