For Ground Floor of a building the valuation is done basing on Rs. 40/SFT and First floor onwards Rs. 35/SFT.
The building valuation is done by multiplying the Building area (SFT) with the appropriate factors mentioned above. 5% of the Total Building Valuation is taken as Annual Building Valuation. 10% of the Annual Building valuation is deducted towards maintenance of the building and the remaining amount is taken as Final Annual Building Valuation.
5% of the Land Value as mentioned in the sale/lease deed is taken as Annual Land Valuation.

The Holding Tax rate is based on the Slab of Annual Holding Valuation which is as follows.
- Rs. 1 to Rs. 999 – 3.5%
- Rs 1000 to 5000 – 5.25%
