IMC Indore Property Tax: Online Payment & Complete Guide 2026

IMC Indore property tax is the annual levy collected by the Indore Municipal Corporation — India’s cleanest city for seven consecutive years and Madhya Pradesh’s commercial capital. IMC uses the Unit Area Method across 6 zones ranging from the historic Rajwada and Sarafa market area to rapidly developing peripheral zones. For FY 2026-27, the due date is June 30. Pay before May 31 to claim the 6.5% early payment rebate on property tax and 6% on water bills. File an online self-assessment to earn an additional 5% rebate — combining both gives maximum savings of 11%. Half-yearly instalments are due by September 30 and March 31. Late payment from July 1 attracts 2% per month penalty. This guide covers everything an Indore property owner needs in 2026.

IMC Property Tax Calculation — Unit Area Method

IMC levies property tax using the Unit Area Method. The calculator determines the effective rate per sq ft by starting with the zone-wise base rate and applying property type multiplier, building type factor, and occupancy factor.

Formula:
Property Tax = Built-up Area × Zone Rate × Property Type Factor × Building Type Factor × Age Factor × Occupancy Factor

6-Zone Rate Structure (FY 2026-27):

Zone	Areas	Base Rate
Zone 1 (Central)	Rajwada, Sarafa Market	Highest
Zone 2	MG Road, Palasia	High
Zone 3	Vijay Nagar, AB Road	Medium-High
Zone 4	Scheme No. 54, 78, 94	Medium
Zone 5	LIG, Sanwer Road	Medium-Low
Zone 6 (Peripheral)	New developments	Lowest

Pay before May 31 to avail 6% early payment rebate on annual tax. File online self-assessment for an additional 5% rebate — combine with early payment for 11% total savings.
