Property Tax in Quetta (TY 2025-26)
Quetta property tax guide TY 2025-26 — Satellite Town, Jinnah Town, Cantt valuations, Section 236C/236K WHT, Section 7E, Balochistan stamp duty rates.
Quetta property transactions face the federal stack (Section 236C 3%/10%, Section 236K 3%/10.5%, Section 7E above PKR 25M, Section 37(1A) CGT) plus Balochistan provincial stamp duty (currently 2-3%) and Balochistan Board of Revenue registration fees. Quetta's role as the cross-border trade hub for Afghanistan and Iran creates a distinctive commercial-property mix concentrated around Sirki Road and Spinny Road.
FBR's Quetta valuation table places Satellite Town, Jinnah Town, and Samungli Road at the top, followed by Cantonment areas (Saddar, Quetta Cantt). Inner-city zones (Liaquat Bazar, Kandahari Bazar) sit lower. The mineral-logistics economy also drives a steady flow of warehousing and commercial-lot transactions that command separate commercial valuations.
Frequently asked questions
What's the buyer's WHT in Quetta?
Section 236K — 3% (filer) or 10.5% (non-filer) of FBR-notified value, collected by the Balochistan Sub-Registrar at transfer.
Are Quetta rates lower than Karachi?
Generally yes — even top Quetta zones (Satellite Town, Jinnah Town) sit well below comparable Karachi rates due to smaller market size and limited developer flow.
Does Section 7E apply in Quetta?
Yes — Section 7E is federal and applies to all immovable property above PKR 25M FBR-notified value, though fewer Quetta properties cross the threshold than in larger cities.
