The municipality that is appointed for the collection of Chennai property tax is The Greater Chennai Corporation. The Greater Chennai Corporation uses reasonable letting value (RLV) to arrive at the annual letting value(ALV) that is used to calculate half-yearly tax for any property within Chennai City Corporation limits. The RLV is calculated based on the rate per square foot that is decided on the location of the residential and non-residential properties. The basic rates range between 0.60 to 2.4 per square foot for residential properties and 4 to 12 in the case of non-residential properties.
The Chennai Municipal Corporation has 15 zones. The property tax was to be revised every four years and was expected to increase at the rate of 25% for residential properties and 100% for non-residential properties. The Madras High Court has given an ultimatum to the Chennai Municipal Corporation to revise the property tax rates and send the revised rates. A loss of 1500 crore has been incurred because of the unchanged property tax rates. The Chennai Municipal Corporation is expecting an increase in revenue of Rs. 150 crores every year after the revision of the above.
