Hubballi, April 11, 2026: The Hubballi–Dharwad Municipal Corporation (HDMC) has announced a special incentive for property owners. Citizens who pay their current year’s property tax by April 30 will receive a 5% discount on the total amount.
Golden Opportunity for Citizens
The Corporation emphasized that this scheme is designed to encourage timely payments, reduce last‑minute rush, and help residents avoid penalties. Property tax can be paid easily and securely online through the official HDMC portal https://hdmc.in/WebsiteHDMC/PropertySearch.aspx
Officials noted that property taxes are a major source of revenue for the development of the twin cities, funding civic projects such as road maintenance, water supply, and sanitation. Citizens are urged to share this information widely so more families can benefit from the discount.
HDMC stated that genuine tax payments form the backbone of urban infrastructure growth. With over 2.5 lakh registered properties in Hubballi–Dharwad, timely collections are crucial for sustaining civic services.
The Corporation also highlighted that online payment options have been simplified, allowing residents to complete transactions from home without visiting municipal offices.
