Short answers from the KP Finance Act 2026.
Calculate your taxHow is property tax calculated in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa?
By plot size and place, not by the value of the house. In Peshawar the tax is a rate per marla: Rs 1,000 in category A, Rs 800 in B and Rs 500 in C. Elsewhere it is a fixed yearly amount for each plot-size band, from Rs 1,200 to Rs 40,000, set out in Schedule I of the Urban Immovable Property Tax Act.
Is a 5 marla house exempt from property tax in KP?
Yes, if the owner lives in it. Self-occupied homes up to 5 marla are exempt in every rating area from 1 July 2026. A home of up to 5 marla that is not self-occupied pays the lowest band, and double that if it is rented out.
How much is property tax on a 10 marla house in Peshawar?
Rs 10,000 a year in a category A area, Rs 8,000 in category B and Rs 5,000 in category C, if the owner lives in it. Rented out, it is double. Paying the whole year by 30 September takes 20% off.
