MC officials said the government had issued a notification in December last year according to which the new areas added to any civic body in the state had been exempted from paying property tax for three years. As per the notification, residents of the exempted areas would have to pay the tax in April 2017.

Many residents of these areas have been visiting the corporation office here to pay the tax, which has not been accepted by the officials concerned.
