Changes to the power of the authorities concerning the execution of fees, introduce unwanted chaos, both legal and organizational. How-ever, some of the changes deserve approval, first and foremost the newly defined concept of property owner and several ordering issues, such as the principle of bearing proportional fees to various municipalities in the event of the change of residence, or abandoning the obligation to bear an increased fee in the case of simultaneous conducting of economic activity and living in one premise.
