All the South Delhi properties including the vacant ones which come under the purview of the body will be charged with the SMCD property tax.

How to calculate MCD property tax?
Property Tax = Annual Value * Rate of Tax
Annual Value = Unit area value per square meter x unit area of property x age factor x use factor x structure factor x occupancy factor
Rate of Tax = MCD publishes the rate of tax for A-H categories every year. You can find the applicable rate of tax on the official website of MCD Property Tax.
- Unit area value: This is the value per square meter assigned for the built-up area of the property
- Unit area of property: The built-up area not in the carpet area per square meter
- Age factor: Newer properties are levied higher tax as compared to old ones. The age factor is based on the age of the property, where the value of this factor ranges from 0.5 to 1.
- Use factor: Residential properties are levied lower tax as compared to the non-residential properties. The value of the factor assigned is 1.
- Structure factor: RCC constructions are levied higher tax in comparison to low-value constructions.
