A municipality may, in order to defray the expenses of city planning projects carried out under the City Planning Act or land readjustment projects carried out under the Land Readjustment Act, impose city planning tax on the owners of land and houses located within an urbanization promotion area prescribed in Article 7, paragraph (1) of the City Planning Act (where city planning concerning the area division prescribed in that paragraph has not been established for the city planning area, an area, being the whole or a part of the city planning area, specified by Municipal Ordinance) of the area of the municipality that has been designated as a city planning area pursuant to Article 5 of the City Planning Act (hereinafter in this paragraph referred to as the "city planning area"), with the price of that land or house as the tax base. The same applies to land and houses located within an area specified by Municipal Ordinance of the urbanization control areas, where there are special circumstances under which, in the city planning area, not imposing city planning tax on the owners of land and houses located within an urbanization control area prescribed in Article 7, paragraph (1) of the City Planning Act is found to significantly upset the balance with imposing city planning tax on the owners of land and houses located within the urbanization promotion area.
市町村は、都市計画法に基づいて行う都市計画事業又は土地区画整理法に基づいて行う土地区画整理事業に要する費用に充てるため、当該市町村の区域で都市計画法第五条の規定により都市計画区域として指定されたもの（以下この項において「都市計画区域」という。）のうち同法第七条第一項に規定する市街化区域（当該都市計画区域について同項に規定する区域区分に関する都市計画が定められていない場合には、当該都市計画区域の全部又は一部の区域で条例で定める区域）内に所在する土地及び家屋に対し、その価格を課税標準として、当該土地又は家屋の所有者に都市計画税を課することができる。当該都市計画区域のうち同項に規定する市街化調整区域内に所在する土地及び家屋の所有者に対して都市計画税を課さないことが当該市街化区域内に所在する土地及び家屋の所有者に対して都市計画税を課することとの均衡を著しく失すると認められる特別の事情がある場合には、当該市街化調整区域のうち条例で定める区域内に所在する土地及び家屋についても、同様とする。
The "price" in the preceding paragraph means the price that is to be the tax base for fixed assets tax relating to that land or house (for land or a house subject to the application of Article 349-3, paragraphs (9) through (11), paragraphs (21) through (23), paragraph (25), paragraphs (27) through (30), paragraph (32) or paragraph (33), the amount obtained by multiplying that price by the rate specified in the relevant paragraph), and the "owner" in the preceding paragraph means a person who is treated as, or deemed to be, the owner under Article 343 (excluding paragraphs (3), (9) and (10)) with regard to the fixed assets tax relating to that land or house.
前項の「価格」とは、当該土地又は家屋に係る固定資産税の課税標準となるべき価格（第三百四十九条の三第九項から第十一項まで、第二十一項から第二十三項まで、第二十五項、第二十七項から第三十項まで、第三十二項又は第三十三項の規定の適用を受ける土地又は家屋にあつては、その価格にそれぞれ当該各項に定める率を乗じて得た額）をいい、前項の「所有者」とは、当該土地又は家屋に係る固定資産税について第三百四十三条（第三項、第九項及び第十項を除く。）において所有者とされ、又は所有者とみなされる者をいう。

Prefectural or Municipal Ordinance
条例
A rule a local government makes for itself: a prefecture (都道府県), a city, town or village (市町村), or one of Tokyo's special wards (特別区) (Local Autonomy Act, Articles 1-3, 281 and 283). Its assembly (議会), whose members the residents elect, passes it (Articles 89 and 96, paragraph (1), item (i)), and its head — the governor or the mayor (Article 139) — promulgates it, that is, makes it public so that it can take effect (Article 16). The Constitution lets local governments make them within the limits of Acts (Constitution, Article 94), and one may not go against the national laws and regulations (法令), such as Acts, Cabinet Orders (政令) and Ministerial Orders (省令) (Local Autonomy Act, Article 14, paragraph (1)). Unless national laws and regulations provide otherwise, a local government can impose a duty or restrict a right only by one of these (Article 14, paragraph (2)), and it may write into one penalties for breaking it, within limits the Local Autonomy Act sets (Article 14, paragraph (3)). It is made for that local government's own affairs (Article 2, paragraph (2) and Article 14, paragraph (1)), so the same matter can be handled differently from one place to the next. It is a local rule, not a national one: an "ordinance" in the name of a national rule, such as an Ordinance for Enforcement of an Act, is usually a Ministerial Order (省令) or another national instrument.
