  2. 2

    Submit the application with the ownership and tax documents for every plot or building to be valued.

    Pay the fee, which may depend on the valuation amount (confirm), and keep the receipt.

  5. 5

    The ward chair, a ward member or the ward secretary signs the valuation certificate.

  6. 6

    Collect it and check plot numbers (कित्ता नं.), areas and values before leaving.

06 · Read carefully

Important notes

  • Don't confuse this fee with the annual property tax. For example, Sandhikharka Municipality's FY 2083/84 property tax runs from 0.020% (assessed value up to Rs 5 lakh) to 0.065% (above Rs 5 crore); that is a tax, not the certificate fee.
  • Pokhara has an official 'जग्गा मूल्यांकन सिफारिस/प्रमाणित' page, which the research tool could not open; check it directly.
