The Respected Director of Rusafa Property Tax
Greetings,
I have obtained a building permit from the Baghdad Municipality under number 7118/43 dated 19 / 7 / 1961,
to construct a modern market on the properties numbered 29 / 138 and 10 / 137 in the Al-Tawrat neighborhood, consisting of 74 shops.
Due to necessity, some shops were partitioned, resulting in the additional numbers listed below. Since I have
paid the full Baghdad Municipality fees for all contents of this market, and since your respected department has prompted me
regarding the exemption of the shops whose numbers are listed below, I submit this petition requesting the exemption of the shops listed
below, similar to the rest of the market, from the date of completion of construction according to the regulations.
Please accept my highest respect.
