What is an Assessment Number?
An Assessment Number is a unique identification number assigned to every taxable property within the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) limits. It enables the municipal corporation to maintain property tax records, monitor tax payments, and identify individual properties.
Each property receives its own Assessment Number, which remains the primary reference for most property tax-related services.
Why Does GVMC Use Assessment Numbers?
An Assessment Number is commonly required for:
- Paying property tax
- Downloading Property Tax Receipts
- Checking outstanding tax dues
- Property verification
- Home loan applications
- Property sale and purchase
- Municipal record maintenance
How to Find Your Assessment Number
If you don't know your Assessment Number, there are several ways to locate it.
1. Check Your Previous Property Tax Receipt
2. Search Using Property Details
3. Check Your Property Registration Documents
4. Visit Your GVMC Ward Office
5. Refer to Earlier Municipal Records.
Assessment Number vs. Old Assessment Number
Some properties within Visakhapatnam may have both an Assessment Number and an Old Assessment Number.
| Assessment Number | Old Assessment Number |
|---|
| Current property identification number used by GVMC | Previous property identification number used before municipal re-numbering |
| Used for current property tax records | May still appear on older tax bills or municipal records |
| Preferred for online searches and tax payments | Useful for locating legacy property records |
If your old records contain only the Old Assessment Number, it can often help municipal officials identify your current Assessment Number.
