Who Must Pay?

All owners of residential, commercial, and industrial properties within Roorkee Municipal Corporation’s 40 wards must pay property tax annually. Roorkee’s academic institutions, army installations, and Haridwar district industrial activity make it a diverse property ownership base. Landlords remain liable regardless of tenancy arrangements.

Roorkee Cantonment Note: Properties within the Roorkee Cantonment area are administered by the Roorkee Cantonment Board — not the Municipal Corporation.

Roorkee Property Tax Calculation — ARV Method

Roorkee uses Uttarakhand’s standard Annual Rental Value (ARV) method:

ARV = Covered Area (Sq Ft) × Construction Cost Per Sq Ft + Cost of Land ÷ 20

Property Tax = ARV × Applicable Tax Rate

Factors: property type (residential/commercial/institutional), built-up area, construction type, location within Roorkee (Civil Lines, IIT area, and central areas attract premium rates vs peripheral localities), building age, and occupancy status.

From cities like Dehradun and Roorkee to smaller towns, the NagarSewa portal is a one-stop solution for property tax payment and other civic services.
