FBR has notified amended property valuation rates for Karachi, which includes a year-wise depreciation value of residential and commercial built-up properties.
According to the notification, values of built-up structures on residential property would be decreased gradually.
The value of a residential house’s 5 to 10-year-old built-up structure will be depreciated by 5%.
Similarly, the value of structures that are 10 to 15 years old will be reduced by 7.5%, while structures aged 15 to 25 years will see a 10% depreciation. For built-up structures older than 25 years, their value will be treated like an open plot.
