How to file an RTI for property tax in Andhra Pradesh

The general guide on RTI for property tax covers the full template, decision steps, case law and FAQs. This page focuses on the Andhra Pradesh-specific bits: which office to file at, what fee mode the state accepts, the online portal (if any), and where to escalate.

1. Identify the office. Municipal Revenue Officer is the standard target; in Andhra Pradesh, this is typically located at the district/tehsil headquarters.
2. Pay the fee as per state norms: Rs. 10 IPO; some depts also accept court fee stamps.
3. File: online via https://apgs.ap.gov.in/ OR by Speed Post to the office, with acknowledgment.
4. Track: 30-day clock starts from the date of receipt by the public authority.

1. Day 31: file First Appeal under §19(1) to the First Appellate Authority (FAA) — typically the office one rung above the PIO.
2. Day 75-76: file Second Appeal to the Andhra Pradesh State Information Commission.
3. Parallel pressure: file a CPGRAMS grievance (pgportal.gov.in) and (where the state has one) a state-level grievance helpline.
