What Is Property Tax & Why It Matters
Property tax is an annual amount you pay to the Local Self Government Department (LSGD) of Kerala for owning property in Thrissur. The money helps fund city amenities like roads, waste management, streetlights, and sewage systems.
Paying property tax on time ensures you stay compliant and avoid penalties — while supporting Thrissur’s infrastructure and growth.
