What property tax you will pay inside the region

01The question, and the honest answer

Anybody buying land inside the region eventually asks what the annual property tax on it will be. The answer, as of the date at the top of this page, is that nobody outside the administration can tell you, because no rate has been published.

Establishes who levies property tax on land and buildings inside the Special Investment Region and under what power.

The law is clear about who may levy the tax. It is silent about how much.

02What the Act actually does

Section 29 of the Gujarat Special Investment Region Act 2009 declares the area inside the region, apart from the built-up core of a village, to be an industrial township within the meaning of article 243Q of the Constitution. The practical effect of that declaration is that the ordinary municipal body does not govern the area and the development authority does, and section 4 of the same Act separately puts the region outside the jurisdiction of a local authority.

The Act then lets the development authority act as the taxing authority, subject to the prior permission and the general or special orders of the State Government. Separately, section 15(3)(xiii) covers fees, development charges and user charges, and user charges are fixed by the apex authority.

03Why this blank is the important one

Of all the missing figures on this site, this is the one that matters most to somebody holding land for years rather than transacting once. Stamp duty is paid once. Property tax is paid every year for as long as you hold the land, and over a long hold it can exceed the transaction cost several times over.

A region planned around a city, with a statute that expressly creates the taxing power, and no published rate against it, is a gap worth stating plainly rather than papering over with a figure from Ahmedabad or from another industrial township.

No property tax rate, assessment formula, due date or payment portal for Dholera SIR was found on any government source examined on 4 August 2026. The Act confers the power and does not fix a rate. This is recorded in the declared gaps of the underlying dataset and is published here rather than filled.

04What would close it

A published rate and assessment formula from the development authority under section 29, or a State Government order approving one. Either would be a one page document. If one exists, send it to [email protected] and this page will be rewritten around it.
