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.

DEVELOPMENT OF QC: iDeclare Easy

QC: iDeclare Easy is a platform that aims to streamline the processes of securing New Tax Declaration, Certified Copies of Assessment Documents and Certifications, including Tax Clearance, for properties to be transferred, and the computation and payment of Transfer Tax, in compliance with the “Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018”. We also made it easier for QCitizens and other property owners to verify and check their properties, locate the same, and even verify their last real property tax payment with the introduction of its QCitizen Real Property Viewer.

With just a valid QC E-Services account, you can experience the overall convenience of accessing essential services, in terms of real property-related information, whenever you need, without leaving home.

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.
