IMC Indore Property Tax: Online Payment & Complete Guide 2026
Anurag Sodani • August 4, 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.
