BBMP has launched its online portal for property tax payments for 2025-26. This makes paying taxes digitally much easier for residents. Payments for 2025 can be made on the BBMP property tax website. You receive receipts right after payment. BBMP encourages online payments to avoid queues.
Bengaluru’s property tax calculation uses a Self-Assessment Scheme. Property owners figure out their tax. This depends on property size and location. It also considers property use, building age, and if it’s rented or occupied. BBMP uses the Unit Area Value system. This differs from the old Annual Rateable Value method. UAV focuses on property location, usage, and built-up area. It doesn’t rely on estimated rent.
The process starts by multiplying the zonal rate per square foot by the property’s built-up area. This gives the annual unit value. Depreciation is then applied based on building age. The final taxable value is determined. Property tax is charged on this value. A cess for services is also added. For example, a 1,200 sq ft flat’s value is calculated. Depreciation lowers the taxable value for older buildings. The final tax is computed on this adjusted amount. BBMP caps the annual tax increase. Residential properties see a maximum 20 percent rise each year.
Key documents are needed for BBMP property tax. These include the khata certificate. It lists owner details and property size. The previous year’s tax receipt is also required. It helps update the assessment year. A Property Identification Number (PID) is essential. This unique number is assigned by BBMP. It’s usually on the khata certificate.
To pay property tax online, log into the BBMP portal. Start by entering your Property Identification Number (PID). If you don’t have it, search older records. You can also search by owner name. Property details will then appear. Confirm if this information is correct. This includes ward, zone, and dimensions. If changes are needed, like altered dimensions or usage, follow the update procedures.
