Pay property tax or face big penalty: GHMC
GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu has urged owners of
non-assessed properties to voluntarily come forward for assessment by
giving details of their respective buildings to the nearest citizen
service centre or get it self-assessed online on ghmc.gov.co.in website
before Aug. 31.
He warned that failure to do so would
attract a penalty fee payment of property tax for the three years in
one go. He pointed out that a detailed survey of property tax
assessments was underway and it was a matter of time before the civic
body gets the complete information.
Availing civic
services without paying property tax was a crime as per law and hence
every citizen must come forward to pay the property tax.
He
also advised business establishments to display rates of plastic carry
bags (of above 40 microns) depending on their size prominently. Citizens
getting their own shopping bags would get reimbursement of the bag cost
in the final bill.
