How to calculate BBMP property tax
Residential formula: Built-up area × monthly Unit Area Value × 10 months = Total Annual Value → Deduct depreciation as applicable to get Net Annual Value → Net Annual Value × 20% = property tax → Add 24% cess on property tax → Apply 5% rebate when paid before the notified due date
Non-residential formula: Built-up area × monthly Unit Area Value × 10 months = Gross Total Annual Value → Deduct depreciation to get Net Total Annual Value → Net Total Annual Value × 25% = property tax → Add 24% cess and apply eligible rebate
The online calculator should be treated as the final payable computation because it applies the property category, zone, depreciation, cess, rebate and arrears status.
