Hi, sifus @ lowyat. New home owner here. Subsale. I have a query about assessment and quit rent. I've been wondering what are the procedures to apply for change/transfer of ownership?

What documents should I bring along to DBKL and Land Office? Copy of I/C? SPA? Etc?

Are there charges/fees involved?

Is there a timeframe involved with regards to these? How many days/months/years after S&P/vacant possession?

Can my solicitor do these on my behalf?

What other things should I know about?

Thank you in advance.

P/S - What about Indah Water?

You should bring it to the DBKL or land office.

Lawyer won't help u do it. it is not their job.

Remember to get a fresh copy and stamp copy of S & P.

indah water - just call their customer care; they will give you a reference number and ask you to fax your copy of s&p to them; and will be changed within 3 working days; they will send you a letter then (very efficient)

as for cukai tanah - bring copy of your s&p, go to dbkl, in your case (i went to mbpj for my property) - they will ask you to fill up a form and then submit the copy of s&p together. I don't remember if we need the ic, but bring in case lor...

quit rent - not sure, cos my condo mgmt handles it - so i pay my condo mgmt

buddy, u know what u talking about? the solicitor supposed to handle the land office documents on your behalf as well, for dbkl, yes, bring the s and p.

cukai tanah.. yes.. the lawyer will do the transfer

cukai pintu.. door tax (hahaha).. u do by ur own. i thought my lawyer do it for me.. until the previous owner call me that MBSA sent him a warning letter..


.it easy.. as for me.. just go to DBKL and get the form.. it take u less than 2 minutes at counter to settle this ( i do mine at MBSA.. MBSA open their office counter at 730 AM)

Assessment - Yes u do it on your own at local authority's office and please bring along stamped SPA.

Quit Rent - Automatically transfer to your name once title transfer to your name.

Indah Water - Same like Assessment but they've very few office. Call 2780 1100 to find out which one is nearest to u.

TNB & Water - Same like Assessment. Buat sendiri.

Enjoy...newhouseowner..congratulations

sorry guys is cukai harta = assessment rite?

Thanks for all your advice, guys. I really appreciate it.

I'll keep you guys posted (in other words, report back) once I've done so myself.

Once again, thank you so much.

Cheers!

liitle buddy, if u know nothing what u were talking, dont misguide other people. i had recorrect the other person, yet u still gave wrong perception.

cukai pintu, or assessment fees, or council tax, is the same thing, once u got the property, is either u inform the bandaraya or the previous owner with the proof of s and p.

cukai tanah, which is much much cheaper than cukai pintu, your solicitor had already transfer all the name and title into the new buyer.

in condo, quit rent also called cukai tanah, which will cost you maybe rm 12 a year.

so, if not sure what u are talking, dont talk.

I'm wondering what will happen if there is no transfer of ownership for Assessment or quit rent. Any problem to sell the property later?

terbalik the cukai pintu and cukai tanah

btw, your post appeared later than mine, so, didn't notice

nevermind la..we are all here to learn contribute exchange and share...we are kawan kawan ma..

btw, for water and electricity, how does it work? i jus bought a 2nd hand house and they have this alarm system installed. do the owner just cancel the account and the electicity will be cut until i apply or we just do a transfer?

i lazy to change cukai pintu name..if i still continue paying it but no change name, any problem with dbkl?>

Hi there,
i found this tax blog to be quite useful..check it out if got time
www.kisstaxgoodbye.blogspot.com

How to check the the assessment tax of the auction property?
Thanks.

i really think this is ur lawyer job
thats y we pay them

Hi there, see if this article may help you. All the best!

Nope. Unless it is specifically provided for in the agreement, this does not form part of the solicitor's duty for which he is being remunerated for.

That's why in certain quotation for fees you find separate charges for 'change of name form' costing from RM100-200

nope.. not included in the normal legal services...

it's quite easy... jus need some patience, going here n there..

some condo is central water system management.. so u dun haf individual water bill..
if tat's d case, then u jus need to go to TNB onli..

cactus1: darn it. my lawyer ask me to do myself, he didnt do a single s**T. even docs not in order he already order bank to release money. I didnt even get to check the property before I advise release. Lucky the property was in good condition.

valuable information for me too

can we check whether previous owner have clear their assessment in MBPJ as well?

sub-sale :
water & elec. should be sttled by seller.
get seller to trminate a/c for the return of deposit.
then buyer with snp apply for new a/c pay deposit.
assessment bill by town council n quit rent bill- normally lawyer would ask for latest to make sure seller settle if not buyer will need to pay b4 town council(mpsj) can change ownership name
auction :
tnb n syabas will ask buyer to pay for all outstanding n canno claim
town council assessment or managemnt fees sometimes can claim back depand on POS.

resurrecting old post . I need some clarification about quit rent and assessment for subsale house

1.what if the seller do not settle the quit rent and assessment ?
2.Will the lawyer instruct the seller to settle before transfering name to the buyer ?
3. What if seller still dont want to settle ?
4. Do I need to check the quit rent and assessment before sign anything?

5. Any other precaution about the seller loan payment ? What if he did not pay for certain months ? Will I know if the house will get auctioned off ?

Lol so lots of question. Afraid to fork out lots of money to have problem in the future .... Hope the pros can guide me

Good question here... anyone care to answer ?

Can I ask, Why is the assesment fees paid to DBKL higher for a condominium compared to a house on landed property?

Hi. My property is a condo. Recently I just finished paying up the bank and the lawyers are handling the changing of ownership from bank to me. One of the items the bank asked is quit rent receipt. As the management office is paying the bill, naturally I asked them for the copy of the quit rent receipt. So, when I asked the management, they asked me to pay in advance 3 months maintenance. Is that the usual procedure ?

what if we forever dont pay both?
what will happened?
pergi mahkamah?

u need to make sure the fire insurance policy had revised to your loan banker account not the previous owner banker!
Btw, tanah cukai and quit rent is the SAME! u dont pay ur tanah cukai or quit rent in local council! Your JMB will pay on behalf for all to land office coz under strada title! You only pay your Assessment fee or Cukai pintu to local council like MBPJ or DBKL by your own.
Please, don't post something to others you are not clear off. Very misleading and annoying to correct!

Added on March 29, 2012, 11:05 amThis requirement of advance of maintenance fee is ODD. Normally the JMB only allowed to collect for deposit on security entry card only. Others then that is NO NO. Bear in mind, you are not a tenant, you are owner, you hire JMB to serve you but not charging you with any advance. For example, your boss hire you to work, will you charge your boss a 3 months advance for works? Is a NO NO, check who is your building chairman committee, reflect this to chairman.
You can opt for quit rent receipt from the land office with minimal charges.
By teh way, if they insist, pay the 3 months advance and ask them to get the receipt out for u, then u start pay your maintenance fee in the 4th months with the above stipulated reasons.

hi i just bot a subsale landed property in bukit rahman putra. could anyone advise where can i change the name and address of assessment and quit rent and syabas account?
is it at majlis perbandaran selayang?
thx

Hi,

Say the condo deliver on May. When i expect to receive the assessment bill?
After the vacant possession, Owner need to go the MPSJ office to register or the developer will do for us?

Since mine is condo, the quit rent will be paid by the mgmt. the quit rent is included in the maintenance fee?

Let say want to change the name for cukai Pintu after 10-15 years buy over , any penalty have to pay to - DBKL - MBPJ - MPK - MPS seremban ? ( I meant any different charge in different bandaraya)

Do I have to pay assessment and/or quit rent for land without building??

you see, however much one thinks they own the land, the land belong to the country, u are still paying them for the land.

interesting infos but it makes me confused.
Why do we need to settle both Bill Cukai Taksiran and Quit Rent?
Whats the reason?
anybody knows?

actually what is quit rent? why we need to pay it?

b'cos government simply spent our citizens hard earned money & now keep give excuses. charge high on us then feed those useless kroni & clear our beloved country debt. hopeless country. cukai harta keep raise. later gst implement raise again. apa lagi gov mau?

Fellow forumers, please can someone guide me:

is it seller or buyer's responsibility to change ownership with the DBKL?

Thanks.

according to my lawyer, its the buyer's job to do so..

Thanks a lot, nookie188.

for assessment, can i just do it at any dbkl branch ?

Cukai Taksiran (Assessment Charges) paid to DBKL or majlis bandaraya or majlis perbandaran is for the Local Authority in your area to take care of your town eg. roadside sweeping, cut down trees, repair streetlights....

Quit Rent is paid to the Land Office (Pejabat Tanah & Galian)....this is because all lands belongs to the State/Goverment so we have to pay to the State for owning the property which is erected on the land.

Do anyone have any knowledge on this? I'm a new subsale property owner and i just stayed for 1 month until I receive the notice "Membayar Tunggakan Kadar" from DBKL which ask the owner of my house address to pay almost RM950 of the outstanding amount.

1. Should the previous owner settle the outstanding amount?
2.what if previous owner do not settle the quit rent and assessment ?
3. What if seller still dont want to settle ?

did you get a lawyer to represent you as he is supposed to check to make sure all outstanding assessment and quit rent are paid by the previous owner?

go to dbkl and register yourself as the new owner - give them a copy of the relevant pages of your SPA..

just reconfirm with dblk but I believe you are not responsible for previous amounts owing by the ex owner..

Lawyer supposed to do apportionment of taxes to be paid by both buyer and seller. You are supposed to pay those taxes from the date of vp . Prior to vp the seller supposed to pay.

Could somebody tell me how to provide Quit Rent receipt for condo?
We pay to condo management then condo management pay to land office on behalf of us.

This is for bank loan application purpose.

Does the bank accept receipt from condo management or do they require receipt from land office?

just the receipt from the condo management will do

I just found out that you have to go to the DBKL department in Bangunan TH Perdana to change the name of the owner, if you are the new owner of a property. Do not go to the DBKL building along Jalan Raja Laut.

I'm the new sub-sale owner since Dec2015 and I went to Bangunan TH to change to my name on 26/1/16.
At the time i change name, the first half year bill already issued out under previous owner name and account number.
Shall I pay the bill or wait for the second half year accumulated bill to come? Bcoz I'm worried if i pay now it will goes to wrong account. Can I know the new account number is it same as previous or different?

Hi All Sifu,

I receive a notis peringatan to pay my cukai taksiran , a red colour form but the name still previous owner.

What will be impact if i not pay or pay partially. Will the bandaraya really come to sita my house. A bit worry when one day i cant enter my house.

Can someone advice? My amount hutang not too high 1000++ but receive warning letter

Quit rent receipt means "Cukai Tanah Receipt"?

is there auto billing?

Recommend to pay up as local council has been stepping up effort to collect overdue even though not in your name

any other way to pay cukai tanah and earn cashback/rewards from ccard/ewallet?
