Anurag Sodani • August 4, 2026
TMC Tirupati property tax is the half-yearly levy collected by the Tirupati Municipal Corporation from all property owners within one of India’s most sacred and fastest-growing pilgrimage cities. Home to the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple — the world’s richest and most visited pilgrimage destination — Tirupati has grown into a significant urban centre with over 66 wards, a Smart City designation, and a major real estate market driven by devotees, IT employees, and retirees. TMC administers property tax through Andhra Pradesh’s state-wide CDMA portal (tirupati.cdma.ap.gov.in) using the ARV method. The 5% rebate deadline is April 30 and half-yearly due dates are June 30 and December 31. A Greater Tirupati Municipal Corporation (GTMC) proposal was raised in October 2025 — pending GoAP approval. This guide covers everything a Tirupati property owner needs in 2026.

Who Must Pay TMC Property Tax?
All owners of residential, commercial, industrial, and vacant properties within TMC’s 66 wards must pay property tax half-yearly. The citizen has to register with the urban local body for taxation, and assessments are made based on physical dimensions and other parameters. Landlords remain liable regardless of tenancy arrangements.
TMC Property Tax Calculation — ARV Method
TMC 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
| Property Type | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Residential | Up to 25% of ARV |
| Non-Residential / Commercial | Up to 30% of ARV |
Age-Based Depreciation on ARV:
| Building Age | Deduction |
|---|---|
| Up to 25 years | 10% of ARV |
| 25–40 years | 20% of ARV |
| Over 40 years | 40% of ARV |
Properties with ARV ≤ ₹600/year are fully exempt from TMC property tax.
The official CDMA website has an online property tax calculator that can be used to calculate the overall tax. Use it at cdma.ap.gov.in before making any payment.
