Property Name Change Procedure

Procedure for Name Change in Property Tax records...



Introduction

Every flat in our society has a property number, typically starting with SX0606311440xxx. You can login to the Property Tax Portal, to know the details of the property tax payments. If you have purchased the property, the name may not have been changed in the MCGM records. You can check out, the Billing Name after entering the property number in the Property Tax Portal.

Submit your application for Name Change/Transfer to the, Assistant Assessor and Collector, S ward, with the following documents as attachments. Take 1 copy, and get an inward stamp on the same when you submit it to the BMC office (Near Mangatram Petrole Pump). Template for the same is given below with notes in italics. Follow up after 15 days of submission of the documents. There is an option to do it online, but it has not worked for me though I tried twice, hence I have taken the paper route.
