Hyderabad property owners are subject to property tax payments to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) every year. This money is used by the municipal body to support better public services in Hyderabad. As a guideline for collecting property tax in Hyderabad, the GHMC uses an annual rental value and adopts a slab rate for residential properties.
Each taxpayer shall have a property tax Identification Number (PTIN) for each property. Old PTIN No is a four-digit number, and the new PTIN is a ten-digit number. Based on the PTIN number, the GHMC website will display the payment amount on the screen.
If you plan to renovate or add to the house at some point, the property tax payable will rise and be assessed according to the current dorm rate. However, it will remain the same PTIN and house number. You should notify the Deputy Commissioner directly to re-evaluate the property tax.

How to Calculate Telangana Property Tax - Residential Properties
For calculating the residential property tax in Telangana, take note of these steps:
Step 1: Measure the PA (plinth area). PA is the total built-up area that includes all the covered areas, including the garage and balconies.
Step 2: Determine or evaluate the present rent-per-square-foot in the market for similar properties in the area. However, if you have rented the property, consider the rent-per-square-foot as mentioned in the rental agreement. This value is called the MRV (monthly rental value) per square foot.
Step 3: Then calculate your residential property’s tax in Telangana using this formula:
= PA x MRV (per sq. ft) x 12 x (0.17 - 0.30) as per the table given above - 10% depreciation + 8% library cess.
