- The new property rates in Islamabad cover residential, commercial, rural, industrial, and farm areas.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has changed property valuation rates across Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). The new rates apply to residential, commercial, rural, industrial, and farmhouse properties. The changes took effect after FBR issued SRO 2392(I)/2025 on Tuesday.
According to the notification, FBR set new values for property in 68 locations, including housing schemes such as DHA, Bahria Enclave, Gulberg, Zartaj Housing, Ghandhara City, and B-17. The new rates apply to open plots as well as built properties.
Separate Tax on Land and Buildings
Under the new system, property owners will pay two separate taxes. One tax applies to the value of the land. The second tax applies to the building structure.
FBR fixed the value of residential and commercial buildings at Rs 4,000 per square foot for structures up to five years old. For buildings older than five years, the value stands at Rs 3,000 per square foot.
