MCMC Property Tax Calculation — ARV Method

MMC uses the Annual Rental Value (ARV) method — consistent with Tamil Nadu’s state-wide framework.

Formula:
ARV = Plinth Area × Monthly Rental Value per sq ft × 12
Property Tax = ARV × Tax Rate + 10% Library Cess

Factors affecting ARV: property zone (North/South/East/West/Central), construction type, building age, usage (residential vs commercial), and occupancy status.

Key Rebates:

Rebate	Details
Self-Occupied Residential	50% rebate on base tax at assessment stage
Age Depreciation	1% per year for 4+ year buildings (max 25%)
Early Payment Rebate	5% concession for resident owners who pay dues on time
Semi-Permanent Buildings	20% rebate on Monthly Rental Value

Your Assessment Number is printed on all previous MMC property tax receipts. Search at tnurbanepay.tn.gov.in → Property Tax → select Madurai Municipal Corporation → enter Assessment Number, Owner Name, or Zone/Ward details. If you can’t find it, contact your local MMC ward office for assistance.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Paying current year without clearing arrears: Fresh tax payments can only be made after settling all previous dues — the portal will block payment otherwise
• ❌ Missing October 31 second-half deadline: Many owners remember April but miss October — set a recurring calendar reminder
• ❌ Not claiming self-occupied 50% rebate: Ensure occupancy is correctly declared in MMC records
• ❌ Skipping Patta Chitta verification before purchase: Non-negotiable before any Tamil Nadu property transaction
• ❌ Delaying mutation after purchase: Visit MMC zonal office immediately after registration
