Step 1: Keep the Previous Property Tax Paid Receipt Ready
Before visiting the CMC office, keep a copy of your previous property tax paid receipt ready. This helps the municipal office verify the property details quickly.
Below is the previous tax-paid receipt for a property tax payment made in 2025.
Step 2: Visit the Concerned CMC Office
Visit the City Municipal Council (CMC) office that has jurisdiction over your property location.
For example, if your property is located in Hebbagodi, you need to visit the Hebbagodi CMC office.
Step 3: Submit Previous Receipt at Tax Counter
Show the previous tax-paid receipt at the property tax counter.
The office staff will verify:
- Owner name
- Property address
- Built-up / super built-up area
- Previous payment details
After verification, they will issue a Property Tax Challan.
The challan usually contains three copies:
- Bank Copy
- Municipality Copy
- Citizen Copy
We have highlighted the sections in the sample challan below.
In our case, the total property tax amount was ₹2,655.
Step 4: Pay Property Tax by QR Code or Bank
You can pay the property tax through either of the following methods:
Option 1: Pay at CMC Counter
Scan the QR code printed on the challan and make the payment instantly.
Option 2: Pay at Designated Bank
You can also visit the bank mentioned in the challan and make payment over the counter.
For example, in our case, the designated bank was Karur Vysya Bank.
Step 5: Collect Payment Acknowledgement
We visited Karur Vysya Bank, submitted the challan at the cash counter, and paid the property tax successfully.
After payment, the bank issued an acknowledgement receipt.
