The Nashik Municipal Corporation has expanded its property tax base by bringing nearly 30,000 additional properties under assessment during the current financial year. With these additions, the number of taxable properties in the city has crossed six lakh. Civic officials said the properties were identified through surveys and verification drives conducted across municipal limits. Taxes are now being levied on these units as part of the city's regular property tax system. The move is expected to improve municipal revenue while ensuring that previously unregistered or unassessed properties contribute to the funding of civic infrastructure and services.
The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has brought around 30,000 additional properties under its property tax network during the current financial year, significantly expanding the number of taxable properties across the city. With these new entries, the total number of properties registered for taxation in Nashik has crossed six lakh. Advertisement
Officials from the civic administration said these properties were identified through detailed surveys and verification drives carried out in different parts of the city. Several structures that were either not registered earlier or had not been assessed for property tax were found during these inspections. After verification, the properties were officially included in the municipal tax records and are now being charged property tax as per the existing assessment system.
The exercise forms part of the municipal corporation's ongoing efforts to strengthen its revenue base. Property tax remains one of the primary sources of income for urban local bodies, and it plays a key role in funding essential civic services such as road maintenance, drainage systems, water supply, waste management and other infrastructure works across the city.
Municipal officials indicated that the process involved cross-checking property records, conducting on-ground inspections and using digital mapping systems to identify unassessed structures. These steps helped the civic body detect buildings and developments that had not previously been recorded in the official property database.
In the past few years, the civic administration has increasingly relied on surveys and GIS-based mapping to improve property tax coverage. Earlier land-use surveys had already indicated that several thousand buildings across Nashik were either unrecorded or had incomplete assessment records. The recent drive helped the civic body bring many of these properties into the formal taxation system.
The municipal corporation has also been focusing on improving property tax collection and compliance through regular monitoring and assessment drives. Along with identifying new properties, officials have been updating existing property records to ensure that tax calculations reflect the actual built-up area and usage of the buildings.
Nashik has seen steady urban expansion over the last decade with the development of new residential layouts, commercial establishments and mixed-use buildings. As the city continues to grow, civic authorities believe that regular property identification drives will be necessary to keep municipal records accurate and prevent revenue losses.
Officials added that expanding the property tax base will help strengthen the city's financial resources and support future infrastructure development. By bringing previously unregistered properties into the tax network, the civic administration aims to ensure a more balanced and transparent system where all property owners contribute to the maintenance and improvement of public services in the city.
