Tax Name Change

Overview

Tax Name Change is the process of updating the property tax records in BBMP/GBA to reflect the new owner's name after a sale, inheritance, or gift. Without this update, property tax notices continue in the previous owner's name, and you will face issues when paying tax online, applying for trade licences, or during property resale. It is one of the quickest and most affordable documentation steps after buying a property in Bengaluru, and Vault helps you get it done swiftly.
