    · Do them in order. Tick each one when it is done.

    If something goes wrong
    1. Do this now

      Open the CURE property tax payment page.

      Enter your PTI number, or the mobile number registered with the tax, check the owner name, door number and tax shown, and pay online.

      Where
      Online
      Fee
      The tax on your house, as the page shows it.
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      The GHMC website now links the "Core Urban Region (Integrated Governance) Act, 2026". The file was too large for us to open, so we have not checked its rules on rebates, interest or name changes.

      Sources: 3, 2, 1, 9

    2. Do this now

      If you cannot pay online, pay at a MeeSeva centre or at the Citizen Service Centre in your circle office, and take the computer receipt.

      Where
      At a MeeSeva centre
      Not confirmed

      These ways of paying are from GHMC pages written before GHMC was split into three corporations. Ask at your circle office which counters your corporation uses. Check MeeSeva's charge on the board at the centre.

      Sources: 2, 7

    3. Do this now

      After paying, download the receipt from "Print Receipts" on the same page, and keep it.

      Where
      Online
      Open the official page

      Sources: 3

    4. Do this now

      On the CDMA eMunicipal portal, open Property Tax.

      Enter the 10-digit PTIN, choose the district and municipality, see the dues, and pay with "Proceed To Pay Online".

      Where
      Online
      Fee
      The tax on your house, as the portal shows it.
      Time limit
      The tax is for each half-year and is due within 30 days of the start of the half-year. If it is not paid by the end of June (first half) or the end of December (second half), simple interest of 2% a month is added.
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      The due date and the interest are from section 100 of the Telangana Municipalities Act, 2019, as the Centre for Good Governance explains it; we could not open the Act itself. If your municipality was merged into a city corporation from 13 December 2025, its tax is no longer paid on this portal; the portal's own notice gives the page to use.

      Sources: 10, 12

    5. Do this now

      If you pay the whole year's tax in one go before 30 April, the rules give you a rebate.

      Pay by then if you want it.

      Where
      You do this yourself
      Not confirmed

      The rules set the rebate's percentage; we did not see this year's rate in an official paper. Check at the municipal office or on the portal.

      Sources: 12

    6. Do this now

      Check that the payment went through under "Check Your Payment Status", and download the receipt.

      Where

      Fee
      The house tax on the notice.
      Time limit
      Within 30 days of receiving the demand notice.
      Not confirmed

      The Act lets the Government make rules for a rebate on paying in advance in one go; we did not find whether such a rebate exists now. Ask the Panchayat Secretary.

      Sources: 13, 16

    8. Do this now

      Or pay online with "Property Tax" in the citizen services of the e-Panchayat portal.

      Where
      Online
      Open the official page

    9. Do this now

      For deeds registered from 1 June 2016, the mutation fee is paid to the Sub-Registrar at registration, and the circle office starts the name change by itself.

      Check it under "Know your mutation status".

      Online
      Fee
      0.1% of the registration value, or ₹3,000 in a Municipal Corporation, whichever is more; paid at registration.

    13. Do this now

      The CDMA portal does not take name-change applications for deeds registered from 16 June 2021.

      Enter your PTIN under "View Assessment Details" and check whether your name is now on the tax record.

      Where
      Online
      Open the official page
      Not confirmed

      By the Act (section 104), the new owner's name goes on the tax record at once when the set amount is paid; a 2016 order has the Sub-Registrar collect that fee at registration. The Registration Department's fee page gives it as 0.1% of the registration value, or ₹1,000 in a Municipality and ₹3,000 in a Municipal Corporation, whichever is more. We found no official page on the current route. If your name has not come, ask at the municipal office.

      Sources: 11, 12, 6, 20

    14. Do this now

      When the house comes by inheritance or a court order, both sides (the old owner's side and you) must give notice of the transfer to the Municipal Commissioner.

      The Commissioner makes the change within the time the Act sets.

      Where
      Municipal office (Commissioner)
      Not confirmed

      The rule is from section 104 of the Act (as the Centre for Good Governance explains it). The time limit is in Schedule III of the Act, which we did not read. We found no official list of the form, documents or fee. Take the papers that show how the house came to you (the will or the court order, the owner's death certificate) and ask the municipal office which papers it needs.

      Sources: 12, 11

    17. Do this now

      For a non-agricultural property (a house or plot), the name in the panchayat records is meant to change by itself at registration.

      Ask the Panchayat Secretary to check that it has changed.

      Where

      This is from a 2020 order, which says it happens through the Dharani portal. Dharani has since been replaced; we found no official page on how it is done now. Take your registered deed and ask the Panchayat Secretary which papers are needed; we found no official list.

      Sources: 14, 16, 20

    18. Do this now

      For a house that came by inheritance or without registration, apply to the gram panchayat for a name change ("Building Mutation").

      The service is also in the e-Panchayat citizen services.

      Where
      Gram panchayat office (Panchayat Secretary)
      Not confirmed

      We found no official page on who this service is for, or on its documents, fee or time limit in a gram panchayat. Take the papers that show how the house came to you (the will or the court order, the owner's death certificate) and ask the Panchayat Secretary which papers are needed.
