How to pay AP property tax online

The old payment link, cdma.ap.gov.in/en/ptpayments, now shows a “404 Page Not Found” error. Payments have moved to the Online Payments page at cdma.ap.gov.in/services/payments.

  1. Go to cdma.ap.gov.in and open Online Payments. Type the address exactly, ending in .gov.in, and avoid look-alike sites.
  2. Select your ULB from the list.
  3. Under the payment categories, click Pay Now against Property Tax. To clear water and sewerage charges in the same transaction, choose Unified Tax Collection instead, which gives one receipt for all three.
  4. Search your property using any one of these: Assessment Number, Old Assessment Number, Owner Name or Door Number.
  5. Check the owner name, address and the demand shown, including any arrears and interest.
  6. Pay through the payment gateway and wait for the confirmation screen.
  7. Download and save the receipt. Note the transaction ID.

If a payment fails, CDMA asks you to check your bank statement before trying again. Email the payment gateway team with the transaction ID and a screenshot of the error. It says email queries get a reply in 24 to 48 hours.

Find your assessment number

The assessment number is printed on your earlier tax receipts and demand notices. If you do not have it, use the Owner Name or Door Number search on your ULB’s property tax page. ULB sites such as Tadipatri’s also carry a Know Your Dues link under Property Tax for the same search.

Is there an app for AP property tax payment?

CDMA promotes the Puramithra app, on Android and iOS. Its CDMA page describes it as a tool to register and track civic complaints. Some corporations, including Vijayawada, also promote it for paying taxes. The web portal remains the route CDMA lists for payment, and it works on a phone browser.

Private payment apps may also offer municipal tax payment. Check that the demand they fetch matches the CDMA figure, and keep the receipt.

AP property tax due dates and interest

Property tax in Andhra Pradesh is levied every half-year. Under Section 91 of the AP Municipalities Act, 1965 and Section 269(2) of the Municipal Corporation Act, 1955, as quoted by the state in G.O.Ms.No.35 of 2024, simple interest at 2% a month applies if you miss these dates.

Half-year Period Pay by
First 1 April to 30 September End of June
Second 1 October to 31 March End of December

The demand for both half-years is generated on 1 April each year. For 2026-27, pay the first half now if you missed June, since interest is already running. Pay the second half by 31 December 2026 to avoid interest on it.

Unpaid tax can be recovered as arrears of land revenue, and the commissioner may cut essential services after notice, under the same Section 91.

Rebates and waivers in 2026

ItemDetails
5% early payment rebate.Corporations such as Greater Visakhapatnam offered 5% off to owners who paid the whole 2026-27 property tax and vacant land tax by 30 April 2026. That window has closed.
50% interest waiver on arrears.G.O.Ms.No.58, issued on 16 March 2026, waived half the interest on arrears up to 2025-26 for owners who paid all the principal and the remaining interest in one lump sum by 31 March 2026. Some corporations, including Visakhapatnam and Rajahmundry, advertised the benefit until 30 April 2026. We found no scheme open on 17 September 2026.
Vacant land tax during construction.G.O.Ms.No.86 of 21 April 2026 amended the property tax rules to charge 50% of vacant land tax from the date of building permission until the occupancy certificate. It does not apply to unauthorised construction.

The state has granted interest waivers in several past years, as G.O.Ms.No.35 of 2024 records. Watch your ULB’s notices rather than waiting for one, since interest keeps adding up at 2% a month.

Vacant land during construction: G.O.Ms.No.86 of 21 April 2026 amended the 2020 property tax rules. Only 50% of vacant land tax is charged from the building permission date until the occupancy certificate, completion or expiry of the permission, whichever comes first. The concession does not cover unauthorised construction.

Automatic mutation: on 17 August 2026 the Assembly passed a Municipal Laws Amendment Bill that links property registration to the online property tax register, so the tax record would follow registration automatically. Check with your municipality whether this has started.

How AP property tax is worked out

Each municipal council or corporation council fixes its own rates under the 1965 and 1955 Acts. CDMA publishes the half-yearly rates for residential and non-residential buildings, ULB by ULB, on its Tax Rates and Tariffs page. The total is made up of general, water, drainage, lighting and conservancy tax, plus library cess.

CDMA also offers a Property Tax Calculator on its home page. For a quick estimate using typical inputs, you can try our property tax calculator, but the ULB’s demand is final.

Other property tax services on CDMA

The Online Services page lists 12 property tax services. On a ULB site these include:

  • Self Assessment, for a new building
  • Revision Petition, to contest an assessment
  • Mutation, to change the owner’s name after a sale or inheritance
  • Vacancy Remission, for a building that stayed vacant
  • Download Proceedings and Application Status

For other cities, see our property tax payment guide by city. Hyderabad is in Telangana and uses GHMC’s system, covered in our Hyderabad property tax guide.
