Building Property Tax (Residential & Commercial)

What is the Property Tax Imposed by the Chennai Corporation?

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), established on September 29, 1688, is responsible for property tax collection in Chennai. As a property owner, it’s crucial to note that this tax must be paid every six months. This arrangement is because the GCC determines the total annual tax liability and then divides it into two equal payments for each half-yearly period.

Online Property Tax Payment Procedure in Chennai

The Chennai Municipal Corporation has introduced an online property tax calculator on its official website to simplify property tax calculations for homeowners. To calculate your tax amount, follow these steps on the Chennai Municipal Corporation’s website:

  • Step 1: Visit the official website and navigate to 'Online Services,' where you'll find a link for property tax.
  • Step 2: Click on the 'Property Tax' tab, which will redirect you to a page with various links.
  • Step 3: Proceed to the 'Property Tax Calculator' page. Here, you'll need to provide specific property information, such as: - Zone, ward, and street names - Residential and non-residential area details - Floor specifics
After entering all the necessary information, the total tax amount will be displayed on the screen.

What Is a Property ID in Chennai Property Tax?

The Property ID is a unique 13-digit number, with the first two digits representing the zone, the following three representing the ward, the next five indicating the Bill Number, and the last three digits representing the Sub Number.
