Payment schedule
- Assessment date: owner of record on June 1 each year
- 1st installment (July 16–31): half of the annual tax — if property tax (base + urban) is ₩200,000 or less, the full amount is billed in July
- 2nd installment (Sep 16–30): the remaining half
- Bills often add a separate fire facility tax (지역자원시설세), so the actual amount can be higher than this estimate
What this calculator does / does not do
- Does: official price → FMV ratio → base tax (standard or 1-home special) + urban 0.14% + local education tax 20%, split July/September
- Does not: comprehensive real estate tax (종부세), fire facility tax, tax-base or tax-burden caps, land/building-only bases, municipal rate adjustments

FAQ
Where do I find the official price?
Check Korea Real Estate Board’s price notice site (realtyprice.kr), Wetax, or your district office for the apartment/house official price (공시가격). Enter that price, not the market sale price — market price will overstate the tax.
Property tax vs comprehensive real estate tax?
Property tax (재산세) is a local tax billed by the city/district on most homes. Comprehensive real estate tax (종부세) is a national tax for owners whose total official prices exceed the deduction (₩1.2B for one home, ₩900M otherwise, 2026). It is not calculated here because the property-tax credit, age and holding-period deductions are complex.
Does the 1-home special rate apply?
If you are a 1-household 1-home owner and the official price is ₩900M or less, a special rate 0.05pp lower than the standard rate applies (Local Tax Act §111-2, through the 2026 tax year). The 43–45% fair-market ratio applies separately.
How much do I pay in July and September?
Usually half each. If the property tax (base + urban portion) is ₩200,000 or less, the whole amount is billed in July (Local Tax Act §115).
What about tax-burden caps and fire facility tax?
Tax-burden caps (limits on year-over-year increase) and fire facility tax need prior-year and building data, so they are not included. Your bill can differ — check your local government or Seoul ETAX simulation.
