There are taxes here it's about 6€ per landing and another for a night parking.
It's a quite convinient airfiend for those who would like to visit Porto some public transportation available as well as uber like transportation.
Be carefull when landing the runway 34 there are high-voltage power line not far from the threshold.
there is no municipal road crossing the runway, there is a tunnel below the airfield for that road.
Be carefull with the taxi area that are hardly bumping but praticable at low pace.
Hope this helps
