FAQs
What is an assessment number?
An assessment number is a unique ID to identify your Property Tax Assessment for a particular year.
What is the difference between existing property ID and property tax unique ID?
Existing property ID is assigned by your local municipal government before using this platform to pay property taxes. Property Tax Unique ID is a new ID assigned to identify your property.
Do I have to fill out the form every year to assess and pay my property tax?
No. The system saves a version of your property with the latest property details. If there are any changes, they can be made later.
What is the difference between floor and unit?
All rooms and areas in a building on the same level are said to be on the same floor. On a floor, each portion with a different usage or occupancy is an independent unit.
What happens when I do not pay the complete amount?
If your property tax for a particular year is not fully paid, you are liable to incur additional charges in the form of penalties and interest, which is payable to your local municipal government.
