The Mysuru City Corporation has ordered officials to initiate strict legal action against property tax defaulters. Owners are being urged to clear their arrears immediately to avoid potential property attachment.
Why it matters
This move highlights local government efforts to improve municipal revenue collection and enforce tax compliance through legal mandates.
Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner M.K. Savita has directed officials to initiate action, as per rules, against property tax defaulters within the corporation limits.
A special review meeting was held on Monday under the chairmanship of the Commissioner, in the presence of Additional Commissioner Veena, Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) Somashekar, zonal officers, revenue officers and revenue inspectors.
The meeting reviewed the details of tax defaulters in each ward separately, with particular focus on properties where taxes had remained unpaid for a long period. Officials discussed the action to be taken against such properties.
As per government rules and the 2025 State Gazette notification, first, second and third notices have to be served on property tax defaulters following the prescribed legal procedure. If the outstanding tax remains unpaid even after the notices are served, further action, including attachment of the property, can be initiated under the applicable laws, according to the MCC.
