Another way to ascertain the exact amount of property tax Chennai is by following property tax calculator formula:

Assuming the following,

Plinth Area x Basic Rate per sq ft (say 1,000 sq ft x Re 1)	Monthly rental value = Rs 1,000 per month.
Annual rental value = Rs 1,000 x (12 months) – 10% for land. Annual value for building only	Rs 12,000 – Rs 1,200 = Rs 10,800.
Less 10% depreciation for the building (repairs / maintenance)	Rs 1,080 (which is 10% of Rs 10,800).
Depreciated value of the building	Rs 10,800 – Rs 1,080 = Rs 9,720.
Add 10% of the land value	Rs 1,200 (which is 10% of Rs 12,000).
Annual value for land and building	Rs 9,720 + Rs 1,200 = Rs 10,920.

Method of fixing annual value for land on lease or rent

The property tax Chennai website offers the following explanation:

Monthly rental value (as per agreement between lessor and lessee) x 12 = Annual Value

No depreciation is allowed for vacant land: Rent per 2,400 sq ft (one ground) = Rs 8.00 per month.

Annual value (Rs 8.00 x 12) = Rs 96 per month.

Method of fixing annual value for the super structure only (land being separate): Annual rental value – 10% x (MRV x 12).
