The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation was established in 1981. In the year 2012, the Coimbatore Municipal corporation was named the best municipal corporation among all the corporations in the state of Tamil Nadu. It is made up of 100 words. The majority of the revenue that is earned by the state government of Tamil Nadu comes from the property tax which is paid by all these wards. The CCMC has incorporated a lot of features in the online services provided to them such as a calculator for the assessment of property tax.
The property tax imposed by Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation is calculated based on different factors such as the area of the property, the location of the property, the age of the property and the type of property.
The formula for calculation of property tax is given below
Property tax = build-up area * age factor * base value * type of building* category of use * floor factor
Here, the built-up area is the external perimeter walls measured of the premises. The age factor is the age of the property and how long it has been in existence. The base value is the basic value at which the property tax is calculated. The type of building refers to either residential, non-residential or commercial type building. The category of use is the category for which the property has been used. The floor factor refers to the floor on which the particular property is situated for tax calculations.
The half-yearly tax is calculated as follows
Base street rate (BSR) * building area * 135.40 = Half-yearly tax
To calculate tax, the plinth area has to be known by the assessee. In the case of self-occupied property, the market's current rate per square foot is to be known for similar properties. In case the property is rented then the market rent value of similar properties is to be known. The following details are to be given for the calculation of the tax
The rate per square foot depends on the zone in which the property of the assessor lies and can be determined by the area details published by the Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation.
Section 24 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 provides two exemptions in the case of properties
The deduction is available if you are a taxpayer and you are entitled to a tax break if income from your house or houses exceeds 30% of the annual value. This income is not taxable then. But in the case of self-occupied property, this rule does not apply.
The interest paid on a loan availed for acquisition, construction and renovation is tax-free. The amount paid over and above the principal component is called the interest. In this situation, you must first apply for the interest deductions while availing of the principle of the loan. The deductions are available in five installments.
The property tax has to be paid to the municipal corporation on 31st March and 31st September of each year.
The penalty for non-payment of this tax is 1% per month.

A recent survey suggests that the property tax collected by Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation will be around Rs 180 crores as the property tax rates are revised and the demand goes up to Rs 280 crores.
