For example, if you owe property tax for the fiscal year 2020-21, you must pay it by April 30, 2021.

Bangalore residents can conveniently pay their property taxes via the tax department's website portal. Bangalore property tax is collected by the municipal authorities from all property owners. Property owners pay the appropriate sum to the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), which provides them with all information about the value of their property and the amount due.

Payment of BBMP property tax is due on April 30, 2021. You would be eligible for a 5% refund if you make the payment before the due date. Each month, a 2% interest fee will be applied on late payments.

Computation of Property Tax

BBMP Property tax = built-up area × Age factor × base value × type of building × category of use × floor factor.

The base value of the land; occupancy factors, whether self-owned or rented; property type, whether residential or commercial; the age of the BBMP property or the year of construction; construction type, whether multi-floored or single-floored, etc. are among the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike Property Tax measurement factors.

As a result, property tax is calculated as 20 percent of total property area (tenanted, self-occupied, and vehicle parking area) multiplied by the per sq ft rate set by the BBMP for each type of property use for a period of ten months, reduced by BBMP-allowable depreciation, plus a 24 percent cess on property tax.
