Per sq ft per annum which has been defined as Base Unit Area Value (BUAV). Then five Multiplicative Factors (MF) (i.e. age, location, structure, use & occupancy) were assigned for covered spaces and two multiplicative factors (location and use) were assigned for vacant lands. The annual valuation of the property is worked out as,
  1. For Flats / Apartments / commercial units:
    BUAV X MFs (as applicable) X total covered space (area in sq. ft.) (i.e. the area as mentioned in deed) = Annual Valuation of the property
  2. For vacant lands:
    BUAV X MFs (as applicable) X vacant land (in sq. ft.) = Annual valuation of the property.
  3. For Land comprising building:
    BUAV X MFs (as applicable) X total covered space (area in sq. ft.) + BUAV X MFs (as applicable) X vacant land (in sq. ft.) However, if the ground coverage of the building is equal to that of in the sanctioned building plan or the ground coverage is equal to or more than 35% of the plot area, there will be no property tax for vacant land.
Note: In all the above cases, Property Tax = Annual valuation X a% (a = 15% for residential properties and IT/ ITES a = 20% for other non-residential properties.)
