Do I need a property tax name change?
Pick what's closest to your situation.
I just bought this property
Yes — BBMP's tax record still shows the seller. It must be updated to your name so future property-tax bills come to you.
Apply nowMy tax bills still show the old owner
Then a name change is due — until it's done, the previous owner stays on the tax record and is billed for the property.
Apply nowMy name is misspelt on the record
That's a correction — we fix the spelling or initials on the BBMP property-tax record so it matches your ID and sale deed.
Apply nowI need a municipal service in my name
Loans, Khata work, and utility connections all expect the tax record in the current owner's name — we update it first.

In Bengaluru, property-tax records are maintained by BBMP. A sale deed proves you bought the property, but BBMP's tax register isn't updated automatically — the property tax name change (a mutation of the record) is what moves the billing and records into your name.
Updating your property-tax record from the previous owner to your name is what makes changing a property tax name in Bangalore matter: it puts the tax bills, receipts, and municipal services in your name and closes off liability tied to the previous owner. We handle the entire property tax name transfer — from document verification to name-change completion.

Tax Name Change vs. Khata Transfer
These get confused constantly. A tax name change updates who is billed; a Khata transfer moves the ownership record. After a purchase you usually need both.
| Aspect | Property Tax Name Change | Khata / e-Khata Transfer |
|---|---|---|
| What it updates | BBMP's property-tax record — who gets billed | The Khata / e-Khata ownership record and EPID |
| Which register | Property-tax register | Khata / e-Aasthi register |
| Main purpose | Get tax bills & receipts in your name | Move the ownership entry for loans, resale, approvals |
| Typical trigger | After you buy, inherit, or spot a wrong name | After you buy or inherit a property |
| You end up with | Tax bills and records in your name | e-Khata + EPID in your name |
| Needed after a purchase | Yes | Yes — the two are often done together |

- Updating the name protects you from liability that stays tied to the previous owner
Tax Management
- Property-tax bills come directly in your name after the change
- Easier online tax payment and municipal service requests
- Faster resolution of any tax-related issues
Property Value
