Pay your GVMC property tax by assessment number
Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) collects property tax, vacant land tax and water charges across Visakhapatnam. Each property is identified by an assessment number — GVMC issued new assessment numbers in place of older ones, and both may appear on your records — and that is what you use to look up or pay your dues on the GVMC portal. People search "GVMC property tax" most around the half-yearly due dates. This page explains how to find your assessment number, how to search your exact dues on the official GVMC portal, how property tax is assessed in principle, how to download a paid receipt, and how to pay through Bharat Connect on Subspace. For the precise amount, the GVMC portal's own Quick Pay is the source of truth.

How GVMC property tax is assessed
GVMC assesses property tax on the annual rental value of a building: a monthly rental value is set for the locality and construction type, applied to the plinth area and annualised, then taxed with allowances such as depreciation for older buildings. A separate vacant land tax applies to undeveloped plots. Because the locality rate, the area and the allowances differ for every property, and GVMC revises them periodically, this page does not reproduce a rate table. Use the GVMC portal for the exact figure. The table below is a checklist of what you will need on hand.
| Item | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment number | Earlier receipt or demand notice | Identifies your property on Quick Pay |
| Old assessment number | Older receipts | Finds the new number if reissued |
| Plinth area | Sale deed / sanction plan | Used in the rental value |
| Email ID | Entered at Quick Pay | Receives the payment confirmation |
| Past receipt | Previous payment | Shows last amount and any arrears |
Download your GVMC property tax receipt
After payment, GVMC records a receipt against your assessment number. On the portal, use the receipt or payment-status option, enter your assessment number, and download the PDF. A Bharat Connect app also keeps its own receipt with a reference number, useful proof if the GVMC portal is slow to update. Keep the receipt — it is asked for during property sale, transfer and loan paperwork.
Pay your GVMC property tax on Subspace
Open Subspace, go to Municipal Tax and select GVMC (Visakhapatnam). Enter your assessment number; the dues are fetched from GVMC through Bharat Connect (BBPS), so the amount you pay is GVMC's own figure, not an estimate. Check the property name and amount, then pay by UPI before the due date. The number stays saved for next time, and the same app handles your electricity and water bills too.
Not a ranking of amounts — each route pays the same GVMC dues. Bharat Connect routes the payment to GVMC and keeps a reference receipt.
