Bengaluru West City Corporation to auction properties with tax dues on February 21

Bengaluru: The Bengaluru West City Corporation (BWCC) will auction properties with long-pending tax dues on Saturday after owners failed to pay despite notices.

The BWCC said notices were served to property owners asking them to clear the dues. They were later sent reminders through messages, followed by proclamation notices.

"However, many property owners have failed to pay the taxes even after multiple notices and reminders. Hence, the properties will be auctioned,” a corporation statement said.

If the outstanding property tax is paid in full before the auction, the property will be withdrawn from the list, the corporation said.

The notification lists 88 properties in Rajarajeshwari Nagar division and 71 in Malleswaram zone. Tax dues stand at Rs 2.27 crore in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and Rs 1.14 crore in Malleswaram.
