Property Tax for new homes with no PTIN
If you have just bought a new house, you will need to submit a property tax application with the occupancy certificate and sale deed to the relevant Deputy Commissioner. He will go through the documents submitted by you and assess a PTIN based on this. There will also be an inspection of the property carried out by the tax inspector/ Municipal Commissioner/Valuation Officer.
Along with accessing your tax amount they will also look into the legal aspects of your house. Once they find out your documents are in order, they will look at the current rates of property in your neighbourhood and then inform you of the tax you need to pay.
Step 2 Calculate your tax
Are you aware of how much property tax to pay? If not, there is an easy way to find out. It is all automated on the GMC website. You need to visit the website and follow the instructions. You will be required to calculate the plinth area (total built up area) of your home. Then calculate the monthly rent you get (if it’s rented out) or if you reside there you can look at the rent those in your neighbourhood are getting. Once you have this information, use this formula –
Plinth area x monthly rent per sq. ft. x % of tax (as per GHMC) – 10% depreciation + 8% library cess
