Property tax

Match the assessment to the door number, owner or occupier, building use and property. Ask the competent local body about pending demand and transfer requirements.

Utilities

Check electricity and water service numbers, latest bills, deposits, arrears, meter status and transfer documents directly with the provider.

Critical limitation

Tax assessment, electricity connection, water connection or payment receipt does not by itself prove legal ownership, approval or lawful construction.
