PCMC property tax for 2026-27 is charged at the same rates as last year, since the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s budget proposed no increase. Your bill starts from the property’s annual ratable value, which depends on its zone, use and construction. Several taxes are then applied to that value, adding up to about 45% of it for a typical home.

PCMC property tax rates: the tax heads
PCMC’s official self-assessment tool on pcmcindia.gov.in breaks the bill into these heads. The percentages below are the ones the tool applies to ARV.
| Tax head | Residential | Non-residential and industrial |
|---|---|---|
| General tax (shown as House Tax) | 24% if ARV is up to ₹12,000; 27% up to ₹30,000; 35% above | 27%, 30% or 37%, same slabs |
| Education tax | 2% to 6%, rising with ARV | 4% to 12% |
| Drainage benefit tax (malprawaha) | 5% | 5% |
| Water benefit tax (panipurvatha) | 4% | 5% |
| Road tax | 2% | 2% |
| Tree tax | 1% | 1% |
| Employment guarantee tax (rojgar hami) | Nil | 1% to 3% |
| Floorage tax | 10%, only for homes with an area above 1,937 | Nil |
| Administrative service fee | ₹10 | ₹10 |
The education and employment guarantee rates each reach their top slab once ARV passes ₹5,999, so most homes pay 6% education tax.
How PCMC calculates your property tax
| # | Item | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Find your zone category. | Akurdi, Chinchwad, Nigdi Pradhikaran, Pimpri Nagar, Pimpri Waghere, Fugewadi Dapodi, Bhosari, Sangvi and Manapa Bhavan are in category A. Thergaon is B. Kiwale, Charholi, Chikhali, Talawade, Dighi Bopkhel and Moshi are C. |
| 2 | Pick the use and construction type. | For a house with RCC or load-bearing construction, the tool’s rate is 29.94 in zone A, 28.47 in B and 25.40 in C. Kutcha-pucca brick houses and temporary tin sheds carry lower rates. |
| 3 | Work out ARV. | Multiply the rate by the property’s area. The tool does not print the unit of area; third-party guides describe these as rates per square foot. |
| 4 | Apply each tax head | from the table above, and add the ₹10 fee. |
| 5 | Subtract concessions | you qualify for, most of which apply to general tax only. |
Worked example
Take a 1,000 sq ft RCC home in zone A, reading the rate as per sq ft. ARV is 1,000 × 29.94 = ₹29,940, which falls in the 27% general tax slab.
| Head | Rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| General tax | 27% | ₹8,083.80 |
| Education tax | 6% | ₹1,796.40 |
| Drainage benefit tax | 5% | ₹1,497.00 |
| Water benefit tax | 4% | ₹1,197.60 |
| Road tax | 2% | ₹598.80 |
| Tree tax | 1% | ₹299.40 |
| Administrative fee | Flat | ₹10.00 |
| Total a year | ₹13,483.00 |
The same home would come to about ₹12,822 in zone B and ₹11,440 in zone C. Treat this as an estimate: the figure on your PCMC bill, based on the recorded area and use, is what you owe. You can repeat the sum in PCMC’s own tool or our property tax calculator.
Concessions that cut the bill
For 2026-27, PCMC offered 16 concessions to owners who paid the full year by 30 June 2026. Among them were 5% on general tax for paying in advance and another 5% for paying online. A residential property in a woman’s name got up to 30%, and a property of a person with disabilities got 50%. Housing societies with working compost units, sewage treatment plants or zero-waste systems got 3% to 10%.
PCMC also resolved in August 2025 to cut general tax by 50% from 2026-27 for properties in the red zones around the Dehu Road Ordnance Depot and the Dighi Magazine Depot, as reported by The Times of India. PCMC has since posted a red zone circular on its property tax page.
New property, extra construction or a change of owner
| Item | Details |

| New or added construction | file PCMC’s form for assessment of new and additional work, so the property is entered in the tax register at the right area. |
