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.
