Property owners can obtain a Katha certificate by applying to the local municipal corporation or BBMP. The process involves providing necessary documents, such as property ownership proof, building plan approval, tax receipts, and any other required paperwork. The property tax amount is determined based on the information mentioned in the Katha certificate, including the size of the property, its location, and the applicable tax rates. Having a valid and appropriate Katha certificate is essential for property owners as it not only enables them to pay property taxes but also facilitates various property-related transactions like buying, selling, or availing utilities.

It’s important to note that the specifics of Katha certificates may vary from one Indian state to another, and the information provided here is specific to Karnataka. Property owners and buyers should always consult local authorities or legal experts to understand the Katha system and its implications accurately in their respective regions.
