Property Tax Calculation — UAA System

KMC uses the Unit Area Assessment (UAA) system introduced in 2017. Kolkata is divided into 293 blocks across 7 categories (A to G) based on location and infrastructure.

Formula:

Annual Value = BUAV × Covered Area × Multiplicative Factors
Property Tax = Annual Value × Tax Rate

BUAV (Base Unit Area Value) by category:

• Block A (premium areas): ₹74/sq ft
• Block G (lower category areas): ₹13/sq ft

Tax rate: Approximately 0.5% to 3% of Annual Value — varies by property type.

Quick estimate example: Block D property, 1,000 sq ft, BUAV ₹30/sq ft, MF = 1.0, Tax rate 1.5%: Annual Value = 30 × 1,000 × 1 = ₹30,000 Property Tax = ₹30,000 × 1.5% = ₹450/year
