Why Property Tax Changes: Annual Value and Occupancy

Market rents, physical changes and occupation can change the bill even without a sale.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Annual Value revisions

IRAS reviews values using comparable market rents and physical property changes, such as redevelopment. Where value changes, a valuation notice is issued. A fixed existing tenancy does not necessarily prevent a market-based Annual Value adjustment.

Occupancy changes the residential schedule

The infographic illustrates S$36,000 Annual Value: S$960 under the owner-occupier schedule versus S$4,800 when the whole home is let, before any applicable rebate. The example uses rates effective from January 2025. Report moving out or letting as required and apply for lower rates only when the owner actually qualifies.
