Understanding Property Tax Assessment in Mira Bhayander: How Your Home's Value is Determined

Mira Bhayander is a municipal corporation in Maharashtra’s Thane District and has a border with North Mumbai too. Those who have properties under the jurisdiction of the MBMC (Mira Road-Bhayander Municipal Corporation) have to pay their Mira Bhayander property taxes on residential and commercial units, including homes, business establishments and more. This tax has to be paid annually by property owners in this zone. Property tax payments can be done online at the official portal, which is www.mbmc.gov.in. 

Yet, the Mira Bhayander property tax amount may vary, depending on several factors. Here is a brief guide to understanding the assessment of taxes along with the payment processes. 

Calculation/Assessment of Mira Bhayander Property Tax

The Mira Bhayander property tax rate is calculated on the basis of several aspects, including the zonal location, plinth area, property age, non-residential/residential status, type of construction and more. It is determined by the CVS or Capital Value System, based on the market value of the property. The tax is payable in advance in semi-annual instalments. The dates are 1st April and 1st October each year. Penalties of 2% are chargeable for each month or part thereof post the last date. If the tax is not paid within 90 days, then penal interest will keep accruing, and defaulters may face legal action. 

The property tax assessment for the MCGM (Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai) takes aspects like FSI (floor space index), property type, amenities, age of construction, occupation status and the carpet area into account. The assessment system, in this case, is property tax = tax rate x capital value. The steps to be followed for the calculation include the following: 

• Go to the official website and choose the tax calculator. 
• Filing up the necessary information is the next step, including the floor, ward number, type of building, zone, carpet area, construction year, user category, tax code, FSI factor and the user subcategory. 
• The formula for taxation will generate the calculation result.
