Coimbatore Property Tax: Rates, Rebates & Online Payment
How Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation (CCMC) assesses residential property tax, what you owe, the rebates worth grabbing, and how to pay online.
How Coimbatore calculates property tax
Monthly rental value = built-up area × the zone base rate per sq ft; ARV = MRV × 12 with deductions; the half-yearly tax is a percentage of ARV plus education cess, library cess, and drainage charges.
Residential rates: Half-yearly tax roughly 8-12% of ARV for residential plus ~5% education cess and ~3% library cess; zone base rates are reported around ₹2.00-4.50 per sq ft per month (single-source — verify).
Rebates & due dates
5% incentive (capped ₹5,000) for paying each half-year within its first month (April/October) under the TN early-payment scheme; also payable via TN Urban e-Pay.
Late-payment penalty
1% per month on the outstanding amount after the due date.
Exemptions
Government buildings, recognised educational institutions, and religious/charitable properties per TN rules.
