Real Property Tax (RPT) is an annual tax imposed on real estate properties, including land and buildings. It's a crucial source of revenue for local governments, like Marikina City, to fund public services.
The traditional way of paying for Real Property tax is by heading to Marikina City Hall’s Treasurer's Office to have your property tax computed. You can also pay right after an assessment of your property through their system.
One of the more convenient ways to have your real property tax computed and paid is online through the Marikina City government website. The entire process is very straight forward, simple to use, and takes only a few minutes to complete.
Follow these simple steps:
Logon to https://marikina.gov.ph. Look for the online services link in the top menu and select “Online Payment” from the dropdown options.
Sign in with your email and password. If you don’t have an account, click on “Sign Up” to create your new account. Once you successfully create your account, you can login.
Once logged in, click the right side, which says “City Treasury Department," to proceed to the real property tax section.
Click on “Add Real Property Unit” to retrieve details on your lot. Enter your PIN or tax declaration number and click on verify. You can find these details in your previous year’s real property tax receipt. If you own a house and lot, you will be enrolling one entry for your lot (L) and another entry for your house/building (B). You should see two entries if you successfully entered this information from your previous receipt.
Click the checkbox for both entries (left side), choose “1st Quarter” below, and enter the year “2025” to the right. Once completed, click on the "Compute Real Property Tax" button. This will compute the property tax due for that quarter. If you want to pay for the entire year, repeat the process and choose “2nd Quarter,” “3rd Quarter,” and “4th Quarter” to add property tax totals for the rest of the year. All totals will appear below under “Billing Detail.” The grand total will appear at the bottom right.
Click on the “Select Payment Option” and choose your preferred payment options. You can pay via PayMaya or credit card. A small convenience fee will be added to the total for using the E-payment service. After entering your payment details, click on “Complete Order.” Upon successful payment, you will see the screen saying “Payment successful” along with the amount and transaction details.
Click on “Back to Main Menu.”
Return to the list of your properties and click on the blue button under the “Action” column to list all tax payments made. You should see your newest payment listed at the top. Repeat this process for all other listed properties to verify their updates for the upcoming year.
Important Reminders:
Payment Deadline: Be mindful of the deadline for RPT payments to avoid penalties and interest charges. There are discounts for paying early, especially during December.
Proof of Payment: Keep a copy of your payment receipt for future reference.
Late Payment Penalties: Late payments may incur penalties, so it's advisable to pay on time.
Remember Your Username and Password: You can regularly check your real property tax status through the Marikina Online Services portal.
For other inquiries or more specific information, it's best to consult the Marikina City Government's official website or contact the Treasury Department directly at 86460462 or 86460306.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure timely payment of your Real Property Tax for your Marikina property and contribute to the development of your community.
