If you own property in Udaipur, an annual house tax (property tax) comes with it. It’s small next to your EMI, but ignoring it invites penalties and complicates a future sale. Here’s how it works and how to pay it online in a few minutes.
What is house tax?
House tax is an annual charge levied by the Udaipur Municipal Corporation (Nagar Nigam) on property owners. The money funds local civic services — roads, drainage, sanitation, water and street lighting — in your area.
How house tax is calculated
The amount is based on a mix of factors rather than a single flat rate:
• The built-up area of the property.
• The property type — residential or commercial.
• The usage — self-occupied or rented.
• The location or municipal zone, and the age of the building.
Commercial and rented properties are generally taxed at a higher rate than a self-occupied home, and central, higher-value zones attract more than peripheral ones.
Who has to pay?
The registered owner is liable. For a rented property, the owner — not the tenant — usually pays. Vacant plots may attract a separate charge, so don’t assume an empty plot is tax-free.
How to pay house tax online
• Open the Rajasthan local-government (LSG) or Nagar Nigam Udaipur property-tax portal.
• Search using your property ID or owner details.
• View the assessed amount for the year.
• Pay by net banking, debit or credit card, and download the receipt.
You can also pay offline at the Nagar Nigam office if you prefer.
What happens if you don’t pay?
Unpaid house tax accrues interest and penalties, and the arrears must be cleared before you can complete a sale, transfer or mutation. Persistent default can invite a formal notice from the corporation.
Why keep it current
Paid house-tax receipts are part of clean property documentation — needed for mutation and registration, for a smooth resale, and often when applying for a loan. Keeping it up to date is one of the simplest ways to protect your property’s paperwork.
