Property tax of a building

Rakesh (Querist) 06 November 2017 This query is : Resolved
Hello,

I have a 2 floor building, ground and top floor on a land of 1100 sqft.
Ground floor is total of 800 sq ft. It has a Groceries store(400 sqft) and two small(200 sqft each) rooms behind it.
On top floor, I live which is a 900 sqft house.

My question is how the property tax will be calculated ?
Will it be done for each of the sections I described above meaning a total of 4 sections ? so do I need to pay 4 property tax ?
Or will it be done for the entire property meaning 900 sqft and I need to pay only one property tax ?
I also heard that the muncipality incorporates water tax(pani patti) as well, so I have a single water line but do I need to pay for each section ?
I did talked to one of the officials and as per him I need to pay for each sections property tax and also I need to pay water tax for each section which they have set it fixed Rs 1700 a year for one section.
so as per him 4* 1700 = 6800 water tax plus the property tax of each sections.
This seems wrong to me, could someone please help me out ?

yOU NEED TO PAY ONE SINGLE PROPERTY TAX ON THE ENTIRE MULTI STORIED BUILDING. As FAR AS WATER BILL IS CONCERNED YOU CAN GETINSTALLED SEPERATE WATER METERS FOR EACH SECTION/FLOOR.
