The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) seized the Highland building on CG Road after property taxes of INR 1.84 crore remained unpaid for the 2023-24 fiscal year. Despite multiple notices, the owner or occupant did not settle the dues. Following an unsuccessful auction to recover the outstanding amount, the AMC took over the property. This action reinforces the AMC's commitment to enforcing property tax regulations, emphasizing the importance of timely payments to support municipal services and infrastructure development.
Earlier this month, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) took over the Highland building on CG Road in the Navrangpura Ward. The building owed INR 1.84 crore in property taxes, which were overdue for the 2023-34 fiscal year. Despite several notices, the owner or occupant did not pay the taxes.
According to a press release from the AMC, the property owner had been sent multiple notices regarding the overdue taxes. The reminders were ignored, so the authorities took further action.
Last week, an auction was held to recover the outstanding dues. However, no one came forward to buy the property. Without any buyers, AMC decided to seize the building. This action follows the AMC's regulations for handling such situations. Reports claim that, according to regulations, the Highland building will now be transferred to the AMC since the auction failed.
The AMC has taken control of the Highland building to enforce property tax rules. By seizing properties with unpaid taxes, the AMC wants to ensure all property owners pay their taxes on time. In fact, the seizure of the Highland building reminds property owners to pay their taxes promptly. The AMC is committed to enforcing these rules to keep municipal services and infrastructure running smoothly.
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) takeover of the Highland building on CG Road, due to unpaid property taxes amounting to INR 1.84 crore, underscores the corporation's commitment to enforcing tax regulations. Despite several notices, the owner or occupant failed to settle the dues, leading to the building's seizure following an unsuccessful auction. This decisive action highlights the AMC's dedication to ensuring timely tax payments, thereby supporting the maintenance and development of municipal services and infrastructure. The seizure serves as a stark reminder to all property owners of the importance of adhering to tax obligations.
