GMC Guntur Property Tax: Online Payment & Complete Guide 2026

GMC Guntur property tax is the annual levy collected by the Guntur Municipal Corporation from all property owners within Guntur’s municipal limits. One of Andhra Pradesh’s oldest and most historically significant municipalities — founded in 1866 and upgraded to a corporation in 1994 — Guntur is the commercial heart of the Krishna-Godavari agricultural belt, famous for its chilli, cotton, and tobacco trade. On 28 December 2025, the Guntur Municipal Council approved a proposal for the Greater Guntur Municipal Corporation (GGMC), submitted to the Government of Andhra Pradesh for final approval. The GGMC expansion — when approved — will significantly expand GMC’s jurisdiction by merging surrounding villages. GMC uses Andhra Pradesh’s state-wide CDMA portal (cdma.ap.gov.in) for all property tax payments. This guide covers ARV calculation, payment steps, MeeBhoomi records, rebates, and the Greater Guntur context.

Who Must Pay GMC Property Tax?

All owners of residential, commercial, industrial, and vacant properties within GMC’s 57 wards must pay property tax. The Revenue Section of GMC administers property tax assessment and collection. All new constructions, existing structures, and modifications are tracked by the Town Planning Department and fed into tax assessment records.

GGMC Expansion Alert: The Greater Guntur Municipal Corporation proposal approved on December 28, 2025 includes ten surrounding villages merged into the corporation. If your property is in an adjacent village being merged into GGMC, verify your jurisdiction status with the GMC Revenue Department — new properties in expanded areas will be brought under GMC’s tax net once GGMC is formally notified.

GMC Property Tax Calculation — ARV Method

GMC uses the Annual Rental Value (ARV) method — Andhra Pradesh’s state-wide CDMA standard.

Formula:
ARV = Plinth Area × MRV per sq ft per month × 12
Property Tax = ARV × Applicable Tax Rate

Property Type	Tax Rate
Residential	Up to 25% of ARV
Non-Residential / Commercial	Up to 30% of ARV

Age Depreciation:

Building Age	ARV Deduction
Up to 25 years	10% of ARV
25 to 40 years	20% of ARV
Over 40 years	40% of ARV

Properties with ARV ≤ ₹600 per annum are fully exempt.

Use the ARV Auto Calculator on cdma.ap.gov.in to compute your exact tax before payment.
