Flats aged 5 to 10 years will experience a 10% reduction in value, while those between 10 to 15 years will see a 20% decrease.

Commercial properties aged 10 to 15 years will now be valued 5% lower than their original assessment. For properties aged 15 to 25 years, the reduction increases to 8%, while those older than 25 years will see a 10% decrease in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, an exception has been made for commercial properties located in Karachi\u2019s Defence area, where values will increase by 15% as per the FBR\u2019s updated guidelines. This adjustment reflects the area\u2019s premium status and higher market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/set-up-functional-tax-office-in-gwadar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FBR urged to set up fully functional tax office in Gwadar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The FBR\u2019s move to revise property valuations is aimed at creating a more equitable and realistic assessment framework that accounts for the natural depreciation of structures over time.
