If you're planning to buy a home or plot in Shettigere, it's important to understand the full cost—beyond just the price of the property. In 2025, property buyers in this fast-growing North Bangalore area should know about three key charges: property tax, guidance value, and registration fees. This guide breaks it all down so you can plan your budget better and avoid surprises.

Why Is Shettigere in High Demand?

Shettigere has become one of North Bangalore's most talked-about areas. It's only about 10 minutes from Kempegowda International Airport, making it a top pick for people who travel often or work near the airport.

What's driving this demand?

• Airport City Development: A large business and tech hub is coming up near the airport.
• Aerospace SEZ: The KIADB Aerospace Park is already bringing in companies and jobs.
• New Metro Line: The Namma Metro Blue Line (Phase 2B) will improve access by 2026.
• Road Projects: The Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR) and NH-44 widening are making Shettigere easier to reach.
• Big Projects: Well-known builders like Godrej and Tata are building modern communities here. Godrej MSR City is one such project that has drawn attention for its design, quality, and location.

All of this is making Shettigere a strong investment choice in 2025.

Property Tax in Shettigere: What You'll Pay Each Year

Property tax is a yearly charge you pay to the local government. In Shettigere, the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) collects this tax.

How Is It Calculated?

The amount you pay depends on:

• The size of your property (in square feet)
• Whether you live in it or rent it out
• The age of the building
• The zone it's located in (Shettigere falls in BBMP's newly revised zones for 2025)

BBMP uses something called the Unit Area Value (UAV) method. It looks at how much rent your property could earn in a year and applies a percentage to that amount.

In 2025, BBMP increased property tax rates by 25–30% across many areas, including Shettigere.

Example Costs:

• A 1,200 sq. ft. self-occupied flat: ₹4,000 – ₹6,000 per year
• Rented properties: Slightly higher taxes
• Commercial properties: Higher rates than residential ones

How to Pay:

• Online: Visit bbmptax.karnataka.gov.in, enter your property ID or SAS number, and pay directly.
• Offline: You can also pay at BBMP help centres, Bangalore One centres, or selected banks.

Tip: Pay before April 30 to get a 5% rebate. If you're late, there's a 2% monthly penalty.

Also, starting in 2025, solid waste management fees based on the built-up area are added to the bill.

What Is Guidance Value and Why It Matters

Guidance value (also called the "circle rate") is the minimum price the government uses to calculate how much stamp duty and registration fee you need to pay. It's not always the same as the market price—but it's very important.

2025 Update:

In 2023 and early 2025, the Karnataka government increased guidance values across the city. In Shettigere, values rose due to the new metro, airport projects, and increasing demand.

• Residential plots: ₹3,800 – ₹5,000 per sq. ft.
• Apartments: Guidance is lower, but real prices in top projects like Godrej MSR City are around ₹9,000 – ₹10,000 per sq. ft.

Note: You can't register property below the guidance value. Doing so will get your documents rejected.

How to Check:

• Go to Kaveri Online Services
• Use the "Know Your Guidance Value" tool
• Select Bengaluru Urban → Yelahanka → Shettigere
• Choose property type and road

You can also visit the nearest Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) if you prefer offline help.

Stamp Duty & Registration Fees in Shettigere (2025)

When you register your property, you need to pay stamp duty (a type of state tax) and a registration fee.

Rates in 2025:

Property Value	Stamp Duty	Registration Fee
Up to ₹20 lakh	2%	1%
₹21–₹45 lakh	3%	1%
Above ₹45 lakh	5%	1%

Also, there's a 10% additional duty and 2–3% surcharge depending on whether the area is marked urban or rural. Shettigere falls under the urban category.

Sample Cost:

Let's say you're buying a flat at Godrej MSR City for ₹75 lakh:

• Stamp Duty: ₹3.75 lakh
• Additional Duty & Surcharge: ₹45,000
• Registration Fee: ₹75,000
• Total Charges: Around ₹4.95 lakh

You can pay this online through the Kaveri portal or offline at the sub-registrar's office. Don't forget to carry your PAN card, Aadhaar, sale deed, and any project NOCs (like from BIAAPA).

Note on GST: If you're buying an under-construction flat, you'll also pay GST—5% for standard homes, 1% for affordable homes. Resale flats are exempt from GST.

Who Regulates Growth in Shettigere?

Shettigere is part of the BIAAPA zone (Bangalore International Airport Area Planning Authority). This body controls land use, building height, road planning, and layout approvals near the airport.

Since Shettigere is close to the runway, buildings must follow strict height limits under something called the Obstacle Limiting Surface (OLS) rule. That's why all large projects, including Godrej MSR City, need BIAAPA clearance before starting.

The good news? This ensures every approved project is well-planned and legally sound.

Looking Ahead: Why Shettigere Is a Smart Choice

Here's why people are investing here in 2025:

• Prices are still competitive compared to places like Hebbal or Yelahanka
• Metro and highway projects are pushing land values up
• Job opportunities are growing near the airport and Aerospace Park
• Big brands like Godrej and Tata are building homes with modern amenities

Rental demand is also strong—thanks to airport staff, tech professionals, and others who prefer to live close to their workplace. Many investors are already seeing good returns in just 2–3 years.

Category	Approx. Cost
Property Tax	₹4,000 – ₹6,000 per year (1,200 sq. ft. home)
Guidance Value	₹3,800 – ₹5,000/sq. ft. for plots
Stamp Duty	2%–5% of property value
Registration Fee	1% of registered value
