MCC to Conduct Door-to-Door Survey Soon: 30000 Property Tax Payers Likely to Increase

The Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) has planned to conduct door-to-door survey next month. MCC is expecting an increase in the number of property taxpayers by at least 30,000. Currently, official data shows the city has 2.13 lakh properties. However, MCC does not receive property tax under the SAS from more than 15% of the properties.

MCC commissioner Anand CL informed that the survey will also help the city corporation increase its revenue through additional property tax. MCC does not have complete data of the properties in the city. MCC should have taken up the survey, but for some reasons it has been delayed. MCC currently has 2.13 lakh properties, and the number is going up.

Through the KMF 24 survey, MCC officials will go to the field and collect details including sale deeds and all other documents pertaining to the properties. The physical copies of the properties will be collected from the owners. Later, data entry operators will upload the complete details of the properties to the system.
