House tax in Ghaziabad is collected by the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation (Ghaziabad Nagar Nigam) and can be paid online on its house tax portal, onlinegnn.com, or at a zonal collection centre. The tax is worked out from the annual rental value (ARV) of your property, based on a per sq ft rate that depends on road width and construction. After a steep rise in April 2025 and months of protests, the corporation revised the rates downward in April 2026.

How Ghaziabad house tax is calculated

Like other Uttar Pradesh cities, Ghaziabad taxes property on its annual rental value (ARV). In simple steps:

The corporation fixes a monthly rate per sq ft for each area, based mainly on the width of the road and the type of building (RCC roof or other).
This rate is multiplied by the area of the property to get a yearly rental value. Self-occupied, rented and commercial parts can have different rates.
A reduction is given for the age of the building.
The house tax is a fixed percentage of the net ARV, as set by the corporation.

Before April 2025 these rates ranged from about ₹0.32 to ₹2.40 per sq ft. From 1 April 2025 they were linked to the DM circle rate and rose to about ₹0.75–₹4 per sq ft, which made many bills two to four times higher.

What changed in 2025–2026

April 2025 hike: new rates tied to circle rates and road width took effect for more than six lakh properties.
Protests and court case: residents, traders and councillors protested. The corporation board voted against the hike in mid-2025, but bills at the new rates continued. In early 2026 the Allahabad High Court upheld the revised regime.
April 2026 revision: after the state government stepped in, the corporation’s executive committee approved lower rates and a move from covered area to carpet area.

Road width	Rate per sq ft before	Revised rate (April 2026, as reported)
Above 24 m	₹4.00	About ₹3.40
12–24 m	About ₹3.80	₹2.80
Below 12 m	About ₹3.50	₹2.30

Reports also said that tax paid in excess at the higher rates would be adjusted against future bills over about three years, and that last year’s unpaid dues could be paid from 15 April to 15 July 2026 without penalty. Reports on the exact figures differ, so check your revised bill on the portal or at the zonal office.

Rebates, due dates and penalties

Early payment rebate (2025–26): 20% till the extended deadline (moved to the end of December 2025), then 10% in January and 5% in February. No rebate from March.
Other rebates: the corporation has also cited rebates for online payment, waste segregation and older buildings. Check the current amounts on your bill.
Penalty: dues left unpaid after the financial year attract a penalty, reported at 12%.
2026–27: the rebate schedule is announced each year and has often been extended. Check the portal for the current dates.

Name change (mutation) in house tax records

After you buy, inherit or receive a property as a gift, apply to the Nagar Nigam to record your name. You can apply at your zonal office, or online where the portal offers an “apply for mutation” option. Keep these ready:

Registered sale deed, gift deed, will or succession papers
Latest paid house tax receipt
ID proof such as Aadhaar or PAN
Affidavit on stamp paper, and NOC where asked
Death certificate of the earlier owner, in case of inheritance

Clear all dues first and pay the fee shown. Keep the acknowledgement and check the new name on your next bill. See our guide on property mutation.

Before you buy a home in Ghaziabad

Ask the seller for the latest paid house tax receipt and check for arrears or penalty on the portal.
Match the owner name, address and area on the bill with the sale deed.
For a flat in a society, check that the unit has its own property number, not only the builder’s.
Apply for the name change soon after registration.
