2025年5月9日、アルゼンチンのクトラル・コ市議会が、建設中の区画の公共料金を、土地を買って最初の2年間は「完成した家」と同じ扱いで請求すると条例で定めた。9 May 2025 — The council of Cutral Co, in Argentina, rules that for the first two years after buying a plot, a building site will be billed for utilities as if it were a finished home.

On 9 May 2025 the council of Cutral Co, in the Argentine province of Neuquen, added a clause to the town's tariff ordinance (Ordinance No. 2927).

Under it, for the first twenty-four months after a plot is acquired, a site still under construction is billed for public services as a 'finished unit'. If, after twenty-four months, construction is still not complete, it is billed at the higher 'vacant lot' (baldio) rate.

The reasons given were that sites under construction had fallen into a gap in the rules, and that the change would encourage owners to finish building. Cutral Co is an oil-and-gas town about ninety kilometres north-west of the provincial capital, Neuquen.
