Lucknow House Tax Online: Find Your House ID, Pay on lmc.up.nic.in and Download the Receipt
Paying your Lucknow house tax no longer necessarily requires a visit to the municipal office. The Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) provides an online facility to look up your House ID, check outstanding property tax, make a payment and access house-tax receipt details.
The official website is lmc.up.nic.in. Before starting, keep your property address, owner’s name and registered mobile number handy. If you already have a House ID, the process is generally simpler.
This guide explains how to find your House ID, check your dues, pay online and retrieve proof of payment if you need it later.
1 What is a Lucknow House ID?
A House ID is the property identifier used by Lucknow Nagar Nigam for its house-tax records. It helps the municipal system locate a property’s assessment, tax dues and payment information.
You may need it to:
- Check your house-tax balance
- Register or sign in to the LMC online payment facility
- Pay property tax
- View payment and receipt details
- Follow up on a property-tax record or mutation-related issue
If you have an older computer code, keep it ready too. The official House ID search facility accepts several search details, including the old computer code.
Important: If your property is already registered with Lucknow Nagar Nigam, use the existing-property login and payment route. The LMC portal specifically advises registered property owners not to use the self-assessment link for an already registered property.
2 How to find your House ID online
<text color="secondary" size="sm">Official LMC service: Know Your New House ID.</text>
Open the official House ID search page.
The page allows you to search using one or more of the details requested by the form, such as:
- New House ID, if known
- Old computer code
- Registered mobile number
- House number
- Owner’s name
- Father’s name
- Zone, ward or mohalla
Steps to find your House ID
- Open the official House ID search page.
- Enter the information you know, such as the owner’s name, old computer code or registered mobile number.
- If using a name, enter at least three characters as required by the form.
- Select the zone, ward or mohalla if needed to narrow the search.
- Enter the security PIN shown on the page.
- Submit the search and review the matching property details.
- Confirm the address and owner or occupier information before using the House ID.
If several properties appear, do not choose one based only on a similar name. Check the house number, mohalla, ward and other identifying details.
What if your property does not appear?
Try another search field, such as the old computer code, registered mobile number or owner’s name. Check the spelling and the locality information.
If the property still cannot be found, contact Lucknow Nagar Nigam’s house-tax department to confirm the record. Avoid creating a duplicate assessment or paying tax against a different property’s House ID.

3 How to check your house-tax dues
Once you have identified the correct property, use the LMC portal’s house-tax lookup or payment facility.
- Visit the Lucknow Nagar Nigam portal.
- Select Know Your House Tax or the relevant house-tax service.
- Enter the requested property details and security PIN.
- Review the matching property record.
- Select the option to view the tax details, where available.
The official portal’s property record can show information such as the House ID, zone, ward, owner or occupier, financial year, annual rental value (ARV), current-year tax, arrears, interest, payments received and outstanding balance.
Check the financial year and the outstanding amount carefully. If the owner’s name, address or property details do not match your records, resolve the discrepancy with LMC before making a payment.
4 How to pay Lucknow house tax online
If your property is already registered, use the existing-property payment route rather than the self-assessment route.
Official website: lmc.up.nic.in
Step 1: Open the payment or login page
From the LMC portal, choose Pay Your House Tax / User Charges Online or the login option.
You can also open the official LMC login page.
Step 2: Sign in or register
The existing-property payment page asks for your House ID, password and the displayed security PIN.
If you have not registered, use the portal’s New User Register option and follow the on-screen steps. Keep your registered mobile number available for OTP verification if requested.
If you have forgotten your password, use the official password-recovery facility instead of creating multiple accounts.
Step 3: Review the property and bill
After signing in, confirm that the displayed property belongs to you and review the tax details.
Check:
- House ID and property address
- Financial year
- Current tax and any arrears
- Interest, if applicable
- Any discount shown by the portal
- Total amount payable
Do not assume that a discount or rebate applies simply because it was available in a previous year. Pay the amount shown for your property and the relevant financial year, after checking any current official notice.
Step 4: Choose the payment option
Follow the payment methods available on the live portal. LMC’s published property-tax rules describe online payment facilities including net banking, debit or ATM cards, credit cards, Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS) and UPI.
Payment methods can change, so rely on the options shown when you reach the official payment gateway.
Before confirming, verify the amount and the merchant or payee details. Never share your bank password, card PIN or UPI PIN with another person.
Step 5: Confirm the transaction
Complete the payment through the authorised gateway. Wait for the result and check whether the portal records the transaction as successful.
Save the bank or UPI transaction reference as well as any LMC payment reference. A bank debit alone does not always mean the municipal system has completed the payment record.
5 How to download or retrieve your house-tax receipt
After payment, save the receipt or transaction confirmation displayed by the official portal. The receipt is important if you need to prove that tax was paid or resolve a later discrepancy.
The LMC House ID search facility includes a House Tax Receipt record with fields such as the property details, financial year, tax paid, arrears paid, interest paid, discount, payment mode, transaction date and transaction number.
If the receipt appears after payment
- Wait for the payment confirmation page to load.
- Look for an option to view, print or download the receipt.
- Save the receipt as a PDF, or print it for your records.
- Check that the House ID, financial year, amount and transaction details are correct.
If you need the receipt later
- Open the official House ID search page.
- Search for the property using the House ID or another permitted detail.
- Confirm that the correct property appears.
- Review the receipt or payment details displayed by the portal.
- Use the available print or save option if the relevant receipt is accessible.
The exact screen and available download option may vary. If the receipt is not displayed, use the payment status or transaction enquiry facility on the LMC website, or contact the house-tax department with your payment reference.
Keep both the municipal receipt and the bank transaction reference. They serve different purposes when investigating a payment discrepancy.
6 What if money is deducted but the payment is still pending?
Do not immediately pay the same amount again.
LMC’s website displays a warning for pending house-tax transactions: if the previous request is still pending with the bank and the amount has been debited, contact the municipal corporation or bank; otherwise, proceed only as instructed by the portal.
Follow these steps:
- Check your bank account or UPI app to confirm whether the amount was debited.
- Note the transaction date, amount and reference number.
- Check the LMC portal for the payment status.
- If the amount was debited but the municipal receipt is missing, contact the bank or payment provider and LMC with the transaction details.
- Keep the complaint acknowledgement and monitor the status before trying again.
Do not share OTPs, PINs or passwords with anyone claiming to resolve a pending payment.
7 What if the House ID or owner details are wrong?
If your property record contains an incorrect name, address or ownership detail, the correction process may depend on the type of error.
- Wrong or missing House ID: Use the official search page and contact the house-tax department if the property cannot be identified.
- Incorrect tax assessment: Ask the relevant LMC office about the applicable assessment review or objection process.
- Change in property ownership: Check the official House Mutation service and follow its prescribed requirements.
- Already registered property: Do not submit a fresh self-assessment simply to work around a login or record issue.
For ownership changes, the portal provides a House Mutation service. The documents required depend on the application and the applicable municipal process.
