| Real-property taxation involves
three basic stages. First is the inventory of the tax base. Here,
LGUs make actual field inspection and record specific characteristics
and owners of parcels of real-property located within a certain
jurisdiction. Based on this information, LGUs prepare a schedule
of current and fair market values of all types of real properties.
This schedules is approved for application by the Sanggunian
Panlalawigan.
Second, LGUs appraise each owner’s real-property on the basis of
the schedule. Thereafter, LGUs assess the properties based on the
assessment levels provided in the Local Government Code. Finally,
LGUs compute owners’ tax liabilities by applying the tax rate prescribed
by the Sanggunian Bayan. The LGUs then send notices of tax liabilities
to property owners.
The Office of the Municipal Assessor is currently
computerizing its Real Property Tax procedures and building-up
Databases thru the eRPTS System provided by the DOST-National
Computer Center. This is among the many services provided
by the NCC to the municipality of Guinayangan, Quezon for its being
one of the pilot LGUs in jumpstarting Electronic Governance in Local
Government Units in the country. In support to the eLGU
project of NCC, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provided
the municipality of Guinayangan with 1 server and 4 workstations to
fasttrack the implementation of the eRPTS project.
