VMC Vijayawada Property Tax: Online Payment & Complete Guide 2026

VMC Vijayawada property tax is the annual levy collected by the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation from all property owners within Vijayawada’s municipal limits. Andhra Pradesh’s commercial capital and second-largest city, Vijayawada sits at the confluence of the Krishna River and serves as a major trade, logistics, and administrative hub. The VMC — now a 64-ward corporation — administers property tax through Andhra Pradesh’s state-wide CDMA portal (cdma.ap.gov.in). A landmark 50% interest waiver scheme was available for Vijayawada property owners with arrears — offering significant relief. The ARV-based system provides a 5% rebate for early payment and charges 2% per month for late payment. This guide covers everything a Vijayawada property owner needs in 2026.

VMC Property Tax Calculation — ARV Method

VMC uses the Annual Rental Value (ARV) method — consistent with Andhra Pradesh’s state-wide CDMA framework.

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

Residential: 0.1–0.5% of ARV. Commercial: up to 30% of ARV. ARV ≤ ₹600/year residential = exempt.

Age Depreciation: Buildings under 25 years — 10% deduction; 25–40 years — 20% deduction; over 40 years — up to 40% deduction on ARV.

VMC Self-Assessment: Use the ARV Auto Calculator on cdma.ap.gov.in to compute property tax before payment.
