The local self-government department’s online portal, Sanchaya, has made it simpler for the State of Kerala to pay land taxes. Users can sign in to the Official revenue division of Kerala’s government portal to pay land tax. 

Describe the land tax. 

State and union territory governments impose land tax, also known as property tax, on real estate purchases. The owner of a piece of land under the control of the revenue department in Kerala is required to pay a tax based on the use of the property. The annual tax is the responsibility of the property owner. 

Each panchayat’s and local government’s income contributes to the upkeep and expansion of public amenities for residents and visitors. Kerala’s revenue department uses an online calculator to compute and asses the land tax. 

Kerala’s land tax rate 

According to the new budget, land worth 20 cents will be subject to a tax rate of 8/R in the village panchayat divisions. 

In this case, R stands for one square foot.

Municipalities must pay Rs. 10 per square centimeter of land. The tax rate on land will be Rs 15/R for parcels worth more than 6 cents per square. 

For corporations, the land price is Rs.20/R, accurate to the nearest 4 cents. Lands worth more than 4 cents are subject to a tax rate of Rs 30/R.
