What Is Property Tax Assessment and Why It Matters
🏠 What Is Property Tax Assessment and Why It Matters?
When you own a property, like a house, shop, or land, you have to pay property tax to the local government. But how do they decide how much tax you should pay? That’s where property tax assessment comes in.
🔍 What is Property Tax Assessment?
Property tax assessment is the process of calculating the value of your property. This value is called the assessed value. The government uses this value to decide your property tax amount.
It depends on:
-
Size of the property
-
Location (city or rural area)
-
Type (residential or commercial)
-
Age and condition of the building
-
Market value of similar properties nearby
🧮 Example:
If your land is worth ₹20,00,000 and the tax rate is 1%, you will pay ₹20,000 as property tax.
