Let us tell you that property tax is imposed on properties and it is mandatory for property owners to pay it every year. This tax has to be paid to the civic body of the area where the property is situated. Keep in mind that if property tax is not paid, a penalty along with interest can be charged. Extra charges are levied on late payments.

Many properties have been exempted from property tax. These include cremation grounds, properties used for charitable purposes, government buildings, historical buildings, places of worship, and agricultural land. The price of a property is decided on the basis of many parameters like the age of the building and year of construction, number of floors, covered area, vacant area, surrounding area, construction process, and possession factor.
