Municipal Property Tax in Rajasthan
The urban local body record of the assessed property, the assessee name, the assessment number and the tax paid or outstanding.
Held by the municipal corporation or council for the town rather than by the state, so the search moves with the local body and a property on the edge of a municipal boundary can sit on a different roll than its postal address suggests.
Issued through Rajasthan Apna Khata · e-Panjiyan (registration).
What it proves
- That the structure is assessed on the municipal roll and in whose name
- Whether tax is paid up to date or arrears are outstanding
- The assessment or khata identifier used by the municipality for that property
What it does not prove
- Ownership. A tax receipt evidences possession and the payment of a civic charge, never title
- That the construction is authorised. Municipalities assess and tax unauthorised construction as well, and a receipt is not a sanction
How to obtain it
- Search the urban local body portal by assessment or property identification number, door number or owner name
- Take the receipt for the current year and confirm no arrears, since arrears attach to the property
Where people get caught
- Door numbers are re-issued and re-sequenced by municipalities. A door-number search can land on a different property in the same ward, so match the assessment number rather than the door number
- Unpaid municipal dues generally follow the property to the buyer, which is why arrears matter to you and not only to the seller
- A tax record in a deceased relative's name signals an incomplete succession, not a defective municipal record
