Project Brief:

Property Tax is one of the main sources of revenue for Urban Local Bodies such as GHMC. Residential and Non-residential (Commercial) properties, situated within the limits of an ULB, are assessed for tax, based on such assessments, taxes are levied on the property owners.
Some of the important functions of GHMC w.r.t Property Tax include 

  • Generate Property Tax for the properties across GHMC’s jurisdiction
  • Collect Property Tax across the GHMC’s jurisdiction
  • Issues notices to the property owners for non-payment of the Property Tax
  • Give timely offers to Property Owners for payment of their Property Tax, For instance, 5 percent rebate on Property Tax, Lucky Draws                                                                                                                                                                             

 Property Tax Collection in 2017-18                 


 Around 12.29 lakh structures of Residential properties 

 Rs 394 crore on Residential properties

 Rs 867.65 crore  on Non-Residential properties 

 Rs 58.40 crore on Mixed properties     


CGG developed the ‘’Online Property Tax Application’’ for GHMC through which property tax assessment, calculation and payment can be made online. Tax assessments, issuing a special notice, issue of annual demand notices and receipts are all computerized through this application. The “Online Property Tax Application” can be accessed from three different service delivery channels,

1) GHMC Website
2) Citizen Service Centers
3) My GHMC Mobile App                                  

For citizens, the introduction of this system reduces the burden of standing in long queues for payment (at Mee-Seva, Circle Offices, Citizen Service Centres etc ) and saves the time of property owners/citizens and further provides transparency and swiftness to work

Benefits/uses of the application
