FBR Property Valuation Rates Lahore 2026 - New Rates, Area Values & Tax Impact

The current FBR Property Valuation Rates for Lahore in 2026 are based on S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 dated 29 October 2024, together with a later amendment issued through S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 dated 19 May 2026.

FBR property valuation rates Lahore 2026 area and DHA update

The May 2026 notification did not replace Lahore's complete valuation table.

Instead, it revised selected property values in DHA Lahore Phase VI to Phase XIII under Nishtar Town and added a new entry for One Central DHA.


Quick Answer

As of 2 September 2026:

  • Main Lahore FBR valuation table: S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024
  • Latest listed Lahore amendment: S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 dated 19 May 2026
  • Main 2026 change: revised DHA Phase VI–XIII values
  • New entry: One Central DHA
  • DHA Phase I–V and other Lahore areas: continue under the base table unless specifically amended

FBR valuation is an official tax value. It should not be confused with the property's market asking price or Punjab's DC valuation.

Official FBR Lahore Property Valuation Record


What Is FBR Property Valuation?

FBR property valuation is the fair market value notified by the Federal Board of Revenue for immovable property for federal tax purposes.

The Lahore table was issued under Section 68(4) of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001. It assigns different values according to the property's location and type.

For Lahore, the official table commonly shows:

  • residential open plot value per marla;
  • residential superstructure value per square foot;
  • commercial open plot value per marla;
  • commercial superstructure value per square foot;
  • separate industrial values where applicable.

There is therefore no one fixed FBR rate for Lahore.

A correct calculation depends on:

town → area or society → property type → residential/commercial → land size → built-up area


Which FBR Valuation Table Is Current for Lahore in 2026?

The current official position is simpler than Islamabad's recent sequence of several new tables.

DateNotificationCurrent Meaning
29 October 2024S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024Main Lahore valuation table
19 May 2026S.R.O. 876(I)/2026Further amendment for selected DHA Lahore entries

FBR's current Lahore property valuation page lists S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 as the main notification and 876(I)/2026 as its related 2026 amendment.

This distinction is important.

If an article says:

"FBR issued completely new Lahore property rates in May 2026"

that would be too broad.

A more accurate statement is:

FBR amended selected Lahore valuation entries in May 2026, mainly covering DHA Phase VI to XIII and adding One Central DHA.


What Changed in Lahore FBR Property Valuation in May 2026?

S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 replaces the listed values for serial numbers 1330 to 1363 in the Lahore valuation table.

These entries relate to DHA Lahore Phase VI through Phase XIII under Nishtar Town.

A direct comparison between the original S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 values and the May 2026 replacement table shows that the revised numeric values for these entries are generally 30% lower than the earlier figures.

For example:

DHA Lahore Property2024 Base RateMay 2026 RateChange
Phase VI excluding C, M & N – residentialRs 1,617,800/marlaRs 1,132,460/marla-30%
Phase VI C, M & N – residentialRs 1,087,800Rs 761,460-30%
Phase VII excluding listed sectorsRs 1,292,800Rs 904,960-30%
Phase VIII Ex Park ViewRs 1,527,800Rs 1,069,460-30%
Phase IX TownRs 822,800Rs 575,960-30%
Phase IX Prism A, P, QRs 777,800Rs 544,460-30%
Phase XRs 467,800Rs 327,460-30%
Phase XII EMERs 1,172,800Rs 820,960-30%
Phase XIII Ex DHA CityRs 292,800Rs 204,960-30%

The old figures come from S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 and the replacement figures come directly from S.R.O. 876(I)/2026.

So searches around FBR property valuation Lahore should now use the May amendment for these DHA phases rather than relying only on the 2024 table.


Latest FBR DHA Lahore Rates 2026

Below are selected current residential open-plot values from S.R.O. 876(I)/2026.

DHA Lahore AreaResidential Open Plot Value
Phase VI excluding C, M & NRs 1,132,460 per marla

Phase XII – EME SectorRs 820,960 per marla
Phase XIII – Ex DHA CityRs 204,960 per marla

These figures are taken directly from the two-page May 2026 FBR notification.

What About DHA Lahore Phase I to Phase V?

The May 2026 amendment starts from the DHA Phase VI entries.

It does not replace the earlier Phase I to Phase V rows.

Those areas therefore continue under S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 unless FBR issues another amendment.

Selected residential open-plot values in the base table are:

DHA Lahore AreaFBR Residential Open Plot Value
Phase IRs 1,550,000 per marla
Phase I – Sector KRs 1,217,800 per marla
Phase IIRs 1,527,800 per marla
Phase IIIRs 1,732,800 per marla
Phase III – YZ BlockRs 1,352,800 per marla
Phase IVRs 1,672,800 per marla
Phase V excluding M BlockRs 1,937,800 per marla
Phase V Extension – M BlockRs 907,800 per marla

These values remain in the base Lahore table.

This is another reason not to use one general "DHA Lahore FBR rate" for every phase.


One Central DHA Added to the FBR Valuation Table

S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 also inserts a new entry after the existing DHA Phase XIII rows.

The new entry is:

One Central DHA

The notified values are:

Property CategoryFBR Value
Residential open plotRs 760,000 per marla
Residential superstructureRs 1,750 per sq ft
Commercial open plotRs 3,100,000 per marla
Commercial superstructureRs 2,800 per sq ft

This entry appears directly in the May 2026 notification.


Current FBR Rates for Other Popular Lahore Areas

The 2026 amendment is mainly a DHA update, but Lahore's main FBR table covers many other locations.

Because those entries were not replaced by S.R.O. 876, the base S.R.O. 1722 table remains relevant for them.

Selected examples include:

Lahore AreaResidential Open PlotCommercial Open Plot
Johar TownRs 1,570,600/marlaRs 3,114,800/marla
Johar Town Main RoadsRs 1,930,600/marlaRs 4,039,800/marla
Bahria Town LahoreRs 1,350,600/marlaRs 4,704,800/marla
Gulberg I, II, III, IV & VRs 2,464,400/marlaRs 5,850,300/marla
Gulberg Main Double RoadsRs 2,904,400/marlaRs 6,450,300/marla
Model Town OldRs 1,619,400/marlaRs 3,205,880/marla
Model Town Old – Main/Double RoadsRs 1,944,400/marlaRs 4,292,100/marla

The Johar Town and Bahria Town values appear in the Allama Iqbal Town section, while Gulberg and Model Town entries appear in the Gulberg Town part of the FBR table.

These are selected examples only.

The full Lahore FBR valuation table is around 80 pages long and includes many roads, colonies, societies, blocks and property categories.

Do not assume a nearby area has the same rate.


FBR Superstructure Rates for the Amended DHA Phases

The May 2026 amendment also shows lower superstructure values for the affected DHA entries.

For the amended rows, the table generally shows:

  • Residential superstructure: Rs 1,750 per sq ft
  • Commercial superstructure: Rs 2,800 per sq ft

In the earlier table, those same DHA rows generally showed:

  • Rs 2,500 per sq ft residential;
  • Rs 4,000 per sq ft commercial.

That is also a 30% reduction for the amended entries.

This matters for constructed houses and commercial buildings.

A buyer should not calculate only the plot value if the applicable FBR table also requires a superstructure value.

For the documents that should be checked with a constructed house, read AR Empires' property documentation guide.

FBR Property Valuation vs DC Rate in Lahore

This is one of the most important differences to understand.

FBR property valuation and Lahore DC rates are not the same table.

FBR valuation is used for federal tax purposes.

DC Valuation, on the other hand, is the officially notified value issued through the District Collector system in Punjab.

Punjab Land Records Authority states that DC valuation forms the basis for calculating stamp duty, registration fees and other government charges.

This is why search terms such as:

  • lahore dc rates
  • dc rates lahore
  • dc rate list lahore
  • e stamp dc valuation
  • dc value lahore

should not automatically be treated as searches for the FBR table.

Simple Difference

FBR ValuationDC Valuation
Federal valuation systemPunjab/District Collector valuation
Used for federal property tax purposesUsed for stamp duty, registration and related charges
Published through FBRAvailable through Punjab land-record services
Can differ from market valueCan also differ from market value

A property transaction may require you to understand both values.


How to Check Lahore DC Valuation Online

Punjab Land Records Authority provides an official Calculate DC Valuation service.

The system allows users to enter property information including:

  • location;
  • land type;
  • area;
  • category.

PLRA states that the service provides the current official DC valuation used for relevant government charges.

Official Punjab DC Valuation Calculator

So if you are searching for a DC rate calculator Lahore or e-stamp DC valuation, use the official Punjab source rather than depending only on a property dealer's screenshot.


FBR Value vs Market Price in Lahore

FBR value is not the same as the property's asking price.

Suppose a house is listed for PKR 1.75 crore.

That amount is the seller's or advertiser's asking price.

It does not automatically mean:

  • FBR value = PKR 1.75 crore;
  • DC value = PKR 1.75 crore;
  • taxable value for every charge = PKR 1.75 crore.

Each value must be checked separately.

For example, AR Empires currently has a 3 Marla house for sale in Al Hafeez Garden Phase 5 Lahore, listed at PKR 17.5 million. The page provides the seller's asking price and property facts, but that listing price should not be treated as an FBR or DC valuation.

How FBR Property Valuation Affects Section 236K

One reason FBR property valuation rates matter is Section 236K.

Under the enacted Finance Act 2026, Section 236K provides a 1.25% rate on the fair market value of immovable property for the applicable base/ATL rate. The enacted Finance Act text specifically states the 1.25% figure.

Taxpayer status can result in a different applicable rate, so always check the current FBR position before payment.

Example: 10 Marla DHA Phase IX Prism Plot

Take a 10 Marla residential open plot in DHA Phase IX Prism – A, P or Q Sector.

Current FBR rate:

Rs 544,460 per marla

Estimated FBR value:

10 × Rs 544,460 = Rs 5,444,600

At a 1.25% Section 236K rate:

Rs 5,444,600 × 1.25% = approximately Rs 68,058

This is only a simple illustration using the notified open-plot value.

The actual transaction can be affected by:

  • correct sector;
  • property classification;
  • taxpayer status;
  • built-up property;
  • other tax provisions;
  • separate provincial and authority charges.


Did the May 2026 DHA Reduction Automatically Reduce Every Property Tax?

No.

A reduction in an FBR valuation can reduce a tax base where that FBR fair market value is the relevant base.

But it does not mean every property-related charge automatically falls by 30%.

For example:

  • DC valuation is a separate system;
  • stamp duty follows relevant provincial rules;
  • society or DHA transfer fees follow their own schedules;
  • Section 236C uses a different statutory base from Section 236K;
  • market prices are determined separately.

So headlines saying:

"DHA Lahore property tax reduced by 30%"

can be too broad.

The precise statement is:

FBR reduced the notified valuation figures for the affected DHA Lahore entries by about 30% compared with the values they replaced.


What About Section 236C for a Seller?

Section 236C applies to a seller or transferor.

Under Finance Act 2026, the base rate for Section 236C is 2.75% of the gross consideration received.

That wording is important.

Section 236K refers to fair market value for the buyer.

Section 236C refers to gross consideration received by the seller.

So do not simply take an FBR valuation and multiply it by 2.75% for every seller transaction.

Buyer and seller tax calculations should be handled separately.


How to Check FBR Property Valuation Lahore Online

The safest method is to use FBR's official records.

  1. Open FBR's Valuation of Immovable Properties section.
  2. Select Lahore.
  3. Open S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 as the main Lahore table.
  4. Check S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 dated 19 May 2026.
  5. If your property is in one of the amended DHA entries, use the current replacement value.
  6. For other areas, locate the exact town and area in the main table.
  7. Confirm whether the value is per marla or per square foot.
  8. Confirm whether you need residential or commercial rates.
  9. Include superstructure where applicable.
  10. Re-check FBR for any later amendment before transfer.

Is There an Official FBR Property Valuation Calculator for Lahore?

FBR's official public system mainly provides the actual valuation tables and SRO notifications.

A third-party FBR property valuation calculator can help with arithmetic, but it can only be accurate if it uses:

  • the correct Lahore table;
  • the May 2026 amendment where applicable;
  • the correct town;
  • exact society or phase;
  • correct residential/commercial classification;
  • correct land area;
  • correct superstructure rate.

If a calculator still uses the pre-May DHA Phase VI–XIII values, its output may be outdated.


Why FBR Rate and DC Rate Can Give Different Values

There is no reason to expect your FBR and DC valuation to always match.

They come from different valuation systems and can be used for different government charges.

For a buyer, the practical approach is:

asking price → FBR value → DC value → applicable taxes → authority/society charges

Check each separately.

This also makes it easier to understand the actual transaction cost before paying a token.

For ownership and land-record checks in Lahore, AR Empires already explains how Lahore properties can fall under LDA, DHA Lahore, private housing societies, cantonment or Punjab revenue records.

DHA Phase 9 Buyers Should Check the Exact Sector

The FBR table itself shows why using only the words "DHA Phase 9 Lahore" is not enough.

Current residential open-plot values include:

  • Phase IX Town: Rs 575,960/marla
  • Prism A, P, Q: Rs 544,460/marla
  • Prism excluding A, P, Q & J: Rs 453,460/marla
  • Prism J Sector: Rs 453,460/marla

So even within Phase 9, property classification matters.

AR Empires also has a dedicated comparison of DHA Phase 9 Prism and Phase 9 Town, which explains why the two should not be treated as one market.

DHA Phase 9 Prism vs DHA Phase 9 Town Lahore


What Should a Lahore Buyer Check Before Using an FBR Rate?

Before calculating property valuation, confirm:

  • exact property address;
  • town;
  • housing society;
  • DHA phase and sector where applicable;
  • residential or commercial use;
  • open plot or constructed property;
  • number of marlas;
  • covered area;
  • correct superstructure value;
  • current FBR SRO;
  • later amendment;
  • current DC valuation;
  • taxpayer status.

Also check that these details match the actual ownership documents.

A tax calculation based on the wrong phase, town or category can be misleading even when the multiplication itself is correct.

Final Answer

The key point about FBR Property Valuation Rates Lahore 2026 is that there is not a completely new city-wide Lahore table for 2026.

The main table remains:

S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 — 29 October 2024

The latest Lahore amendment currently listed by FBR is:

S.R.O. 876(I)/2026 — 19 May 2026

That amendment mainly revised DHA Lahore Phase VI through Phase XIII and added One Central DHA.

For the affected DHA entries, the new values are generally 30% below the figures they replaced.

For other Lahore areas such as Johar Town, Bahria Town, Gulberg and Model Town, the main S.R.O. 1722 table continues to provide the applicable FBR entries unless a later notification changes them.

Before completing a property transaction, check:

exact Lahore area → FBR valuation → latest amendment → DC valuation → market price → taxpayer status → total transfer charges

Do not treat FBR value, Lahore DC rate and market asking price as the same number.
