| Rate of tax |
Tax rates for properties in categories A to H are published by the MCD every year. |
| Unit area value |
This is an assigned value per sq metre of the built-up area of a property. The unit area value per sq metre differs for categories A to H. |
| Unit area of property |
The built-up area (not the carpet area) in sq metres is taken into consideration for computation. |
| Age factor |
Newer properties are taxed higher than older ones, based on the age of the property. The value of this factor ranges from 0.5 to 1.0. |
| Use factor |
Residential properties are taxed lower than non-residential ones. The value for residential properties is ‘1’. |
| Structure factor |
RCC constructions are taxed higher than low value constructions. |
| Occupancy factor |
Properties that are rented out are taxed higher than self-occupied ones. |
The MCD uses the ‘Unit Area System’ for property tax calculation all over the city. The formula used for calculation is as follows:
Property tax = Annual value x Rate of tax Where Annual value = Unit area value per sq metre x Unit area of property x Age factor x Use factor x Structure factor x Occupancy factor.

Unit area value= Rs 500 per sq metre
Unit area = 100 sq metre.
Age factor= 0.6
Use factor= 1

Occupancy factor= 1.0
Annual Value = 500 x 100 x 0.6 x 1.0 x 1.0 x 1.0 = Rs 30,000
