Property tax is a mandatory levy imposed by the local municipal authority on property owners. It is calculated based on the property’s valuation, size, location, and usage (residential, commercial, or industrial). Property taxes contribute to infrastructure development, civic amenities, and public services in the region. As a responsible property owner, timely payment of property tax ensures compliance with municipal regulations and avoids legal penalties.

Yes, property registration is legally mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908. Registering your property establishes clear ownership rights and safeguards against disputes or fraudulent claims. Without registration, ownership cannot be legally recognized, which may create complications in future resale or transfer. We strongly advise buyers to complete property registration to secure their investment and ensure seamless transactions.

Property tax can be paid online through the municipal corporation’s portal or at designated government offices.

We ensure our properties comply with municipal tax regulations, and buyers are guided on tax obligations during the property handover process.

Property registration fees typically include stamp duty, registration charges, and legal documentation costs. The applicable fees vary by state and depend on the property’s value. Usually, the buyer bears these costs, unless otherwise agreed in the sale agreement. To ensure a smooth registration process, consulting a legal expert or our developer’s team can provide accurate cost estimates based on local regulations.

The legal owner of a property is responsible for paying property tax as per the regulations set by the local municipal authority. Property tax is levied on all residential, commercial, and industrial properties and is used for public infrastructure and civic amenities.

1) Property Owner's Responsibility:

✔ The registered owner of the property is obligated to pay property tax. ✔ Even if the property is vacant or not in use, the owner must still pay the tax. ✔ If the property is rented out, the landlord (owner) remains responsible for tax payment, unless otherwise agreed upon in the lease.

2) Joint Ownership:

✔ In the case of joint ownership, all co-owners share the tax liability. ✔ The municipal authority typically records the name of one primary owner for tax collection.

3) Transfer of Property:

✔ If a property is sold, the new owner becomes liable for tax payments from the date of property transfer. ✔ The buyer should verify if past dues are cleared before purchasing the property.

4) Penalties for Non-Payment:

✔ Failure to pay property tax on time may result in penalties, fines, or legal action. ✔ Some municipal corporations offer discounts for early payments or charge interest on late payments.

2) Property Title Documents:

✔ Ownership is established through a clear title in the land records. ✔ Encumbrance Certificate (EC) confirms that the property is free from legal claims or disputes.

3) Government Records & Tax Receipts:

✔ The property owner’s name appears in municipal tax records and utility bills (such as electricity and water).

4) Inheritance & Gift Deeds:

✔ A person can become a property owner through inheritance (legal heir) or via a registered Gift Deed.

5) Joint Ownership:
