Islamabad Property Valuation Revision 2026 Issued
The Islamabad Property Valuation Revision 2026 has been officially issued by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), bringing significant changes to how residential and commercial properties in the federal capital are valued for tax and transaction purposes. The updated valuation rates aim to align official property values more closely with prevailing market conditions and strengthen revenue collection mechanisms.
Under the new valuation schedule, rates for residential structures up to five years old have been increased, while older buildings are assigned revised benchmark values. These changes also apply to residential plots, where premium sectors in Islamabad have seen notable upward adjustments. The FBR states that previous valuation tables have been replaced entirely by the revised framework, ensuring a uniform basis for determining property worth across different sectors.
Officials have indicated that the Islamabad Property Valuation Revision 2026 will directly affect calculations for capital gains tax, withholding tax, and other duties tied to property transactions. With higher officially declared values, property tax obligations and transaction costs are expected to become more reflective of true market rates, reducing discrepancies between declared and actual selling prices.
The revision also aims to curb undervaluation practices commonly used to reduce tax liabilities, improving transparency in real estate dealings. Property buyers, sellers, developers, and real estate professionals have been advised to consult the new valuation charts when planning future transactions to avoid discrepancies or compliance issues.
With the Islamabad Property Valuation Revision 2026 now in effect, stakeholders in the capital’s real estate market are preparing to adjust their pricing and tax planning strategies. The FBR says the revision will remain a key reference for regulators, tax authorities, and industry participants throughout the year as Islamabad’s property market continues to evolve.
