ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATIONS OF REAL PROPERTY ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTS

Certified True Copy of Tax Maps – A tax map can be requested to identify the particular location of a property based on the latest Tax Mapping Record, whether manual or Geographical Information System (GIS), and for other purposes. However, this particular certification cannot be used as evidence for setting boundary disputes.
Certification of Adjoining Lot Ownership – a Certificate of Adjoining Lot Ownership is also issued for purposes of stating the exact location and nearby lot owners within the boundaries of a particular property requested by the owner.
Certificate of Property Location and Vicinity – a Certificate of Property Location and vicinity is also issued for the purpose of stating the exact location of property based on records available, as part of their due diligence before purchasing a property, land disputes, and for other purposes.
Issuance of Property Holding Certification (With Property or No Property) and Certification of Improvement (No Improvement or With Improvement) – The OCAs provide a Certificate of Property Holdings or Certificate of No Property Holding upon the request of the owner or his authorized representatives, government agency, or private entity. This service allows the taxpayer to obtain a listing of his or her property holdings as a reference for payment of taxes, and for other legal purposes, it may serve.
Certificate of No Improvement – provides proof that a certain parcel of land is vacant upon the request of the owner or his or her authorized representative. Should there be an improvement or structure thereon, declared on record, the office will certify the improvement erected on the lot, as per the existing database.
Counter Verification or Issuance of computer print-out – This is a fast lane service that provides readily available real property information instead of a certified true copy of tax declaration which may be used for paying their real property tax to the Office of the City Treasurer and for other uses it may serve.
Issuance of Certified True Copy of Tax Declaration – The OCAs provide a Certified True Copy of Tax Declaration upon the request of the owner or his authorized representative, government agency, or private entities, for various reasons, the most common of which are for property transfer-related transactions, as a requirement of BIR, for mortgage, loan, financial institutions, courts, and many other legal purposes.
There are currently two (2) classifications of TDs being certified –the manual copy or those issued from 2006 and below, manually processed; and the electronic ones which to date can be certified electronically as well.

PROGRAMS

DEVELOPMENT OF QC: iDeclare Easy

In 2025, the Office launched the Real Property One-Stop Shop via the QC:iDeclare Easy Online Application.

In strict alignment with the Philippine Ease of Doing Business Act, this platform unifies all real property registration steps into a single digital space, eliminating red tape and providing citizens with a faster, more transparent transaction process.

In May 2026, the Office successfully launched the Online Request for Certified True Copy of Tax Declaration, allowing requesting parties to submit their requests and complete payments through an online payment gateway. With this improvement, citizens may now receive the requested document within approximately two hours upon payment, significantly reducing processing time and enhancing service delivery.

This initiative is further supported by the Scanning and Retrieval Gateway, which has made the retrieval and processing of certification requests faster, easier, and more reliable. Before the end of 2026, the Office also aims to launch additional online certification request services to further improve convenience, accessibility, and efficiency for its citizens.

LAND ADMINISTRATION AND INFORMATION PROGRAM

Deployment of Quezon City Real Property Viewer

QCitizen Real Property Viewer is a customized web-based application deployed last May 9, 2024. QCRPV enables the public to access basic parcel and real property-related information with additional information on real property tax payments, which promotes government transparency. With this application, the users can be able to search available properties based on specific PIN and TCT, Title No., or click on any property on the map.

Deployment of Online Payment Option

The City Government has expanded its payment options for taxpayers planning to settle real property taxes electronically. Through the QC e-Services portal, taxpayers can now pay their current dues using the Maya e-wallet, and credit cards, or by transferring funds from the following banks: RCBC, Robinsons Bank, Union Bank, BPI, and PS Bank.

Community Awareness Program

The OCAs team, led by Atty. Sherry R. Gonzalvo, City Assessor, conducted a voluntary mission to serve the Dumagat Community in the remote areas of Quezon Province.

SPOTLIGHT

SIMPLIFYING REAL PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS THROUGH REAL PROPERTY ONE STOP SHOP

The Office of the City Assessor continues to improve the delivery of real property services through the enhanced QC iDeclare Easy, accessible through the QC e-Services – Real Property One-Stop-Shop. The online platform allows QCitizens to request a Certified True Copy of Tax Declaration and Assessment Documents without the need to personally visit the office or repeatedly queue for their transactions.

Through its streamlined “File–Pay–Claim” process, applicants can submit their requests and documentary requirements online, receive updates on the status of their applications, and pay through available e-payment channels. Once payment has been successfully processed, the corresponding electronic Official Receipt (eOR) may be obtained within two (2) hours, making the transaction more convenient and efficient for property owners and other concerned stakeholders.

The enhanced QC iDeclare Easy reflects the Office of the City Assessor’s continuing commitment to providing accessible, responsive, and citizen-centered public service. By making real property transactions available online, the Office helps reduce waiting time, minimize unnecessary visits, and provide QCitizens with a more convenient way of accessing essential assessment services.

This initiative supports Quezon City’s continuing efforts toward digital transformation and improved public service delivery by making government transactions faster, more convenient, efficient, and accessible to all QCitizens.

PROMOTING TRANSPARENCY AND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION THROUGH RPVARA PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS

The Office of the City Assessor, under the leadership of Mayor Joy Belmonte through the City Assessor Atty. Sherry Gonzalvo, successfully conducted six public consultations across the six districts of Quezon City, reaching approximately 1,150 participants from various sectors of the community.

The consultations were conducted in line with the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act (RA 12001), which requires the updating of the Schedule of Market Values (SMV) for real properties. Through these consultations, the Office provided citizens with a clearer understanding of the proposed changes in market values and the purpose of the reform. More than a compliance activity, the initiative served as a platform for meaningful dialogue between the

City Government and its constituents. Residents, property owners, stakeholders, and sectoral representatives were given the opportunity to raise concerns, provide recommendations, and participate in discussions affecting real property valuation in the city.

By bringing the consultation process closer to the people, the Office of the City Assessor strengthened its commitment to transparency, accountability, and citizen-centered governance. The activity highlighted the City’s effort to ensure that property valuation policies are not only technically sound and aligned with current market conditions, but also properly explained, openly discussed, and responsive to the concerns of Quezon City residents.

This accomplishment reflects the Office’s continuing commitment to fair, updated, and transparent real property assessment practices that support better public service and more informed citizen participation.

GROWING TOGETHER FOR A GREENER TOMORROW

In celebration of the 76th Founding Anniversary of the Office of the City Assessor, nearly 250 participants gathered at La Mesa Ecopark for its Annual Tree Planting Activity held on June 12, 2026.

The activity highlighted our shared commitment to environmental stewardship through tree planting, seed and soil bagging, and nurturing future green spaces for the next generations, according to our City Assessor, Atty. Sherry R. Gonzalvo. More than planting trees, the event strengthened camaraderie, volunteerism, and our collective responsibility to protect and preserve the environment.

The Office of the City Assessor extends its heartfelt gratitude to all employees, partners, and volunteers from Manila Waters and La Mesa Ecopart Foundation who took part in making this meaningful activity a success.
