In a relief for property tax defaulters, the Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration Department has announced a concession on interest for overdue property taxes. The government has decided to waive 50% of the interest on outstanding property tax dues, provided they are paid by March 31, 2025.

According to an official order issued on Tuesday by Principal Secretary Suresh Kumar, this move comes in response to public appeals and aims to facilitate the recovery of property tax arrears amounting to crores of rupees. The waiver applies to unpaid taxes on both buildings and vacant plots, in addition to the current year’s property tax.

The state government hopes this initiative will encourage timely payments and ease the financial burden on property owners. Residents are urged to take advantage of this opportunity before the deadline.
