Real property owners in Taguig need to pay a higher tax starting January. 

The Taguig City government announced that a new city ordinance was approved that imposes an increase of 0.25 percent in real property tax (RPT) that will take effect on Jan. 1 next year. 

On Dec. 15, the Taguig City Council approved Ordinance No. 28 or an "Ordinance Revising Basic Rates of Levy for the Real Properties within the Territorial Jurisdiction of Taguig City." 

Under the new ordinance, which was sponsored by all 24 councilors, Sangguniang Kabataan president and Liga president, real property owners need to pay the following taxes on the assessed values starting Jan. 1, 2026:  

CLASS 

Residential - 1.25 percent (from the old rate of 1 percent) 

Agricultural - 1.25 percent (from the old rate of 1 percent) 

Commercial - 1.75 percent  (from the old rate of 1.5 percent) 

Industrial - 1.75 percent  (from the old rate of 1.5 percent) 

Special - 1.75 percent  (from the old rate of 1.5 percent) 

They also need to pay an additional 1 percent for the Special Education Fund (SEF).

“Taxpayers who paid their Real Property Tax (RPT) for Tax Year 2026 on or before December 30, 2025 and availed of the twenty percent (20%) advance payment discount under Ordinance No. 100, Series of 2005, but who incur a short payment as a result of the adjusted tax rates effective in 2026, shall remain entitled to the twenty percent (20%) discount on the short balance, provided that the short payment is settled in full on or before March 31, 2026,” according to the new ordinance. 

It added, “Short payments for Tax Year 2026 that are paid after March 31 , 2026, shall no longer be eligible for the twenty percent (20%) advance payment discount.”

This is the first time since 1993 that Taguig has adjusted the rates for real property tax. 

The ordinance stated “in 1990, there were only 266,637 registered Taguigenios; however, as of 2024, the population of the City of Taguig has grown to approximately 1,308,085 residents; and this rapid and sustained increase in population has significantly heightened the City's responsibility to deliver essential public services, programs, and infrastructure to meet the needs of its constituents.” 

It added that “the City Government of Taguig intends that the additional revenues to be generated from the adjustment of real property tax shall be utilized to finance new programs and projects and to expand, improve, and sustain existing ones, including the construction, upgrading, and maintenance of public hospitals and health facilities, enhancement of medical assistance programs, expansion of scholarship, education subsidy and school support initiatives, and the improvement of public safety, traffic management, and disaster preparedness systems.”
