Public review of mass property valuation in Tashkent extended to December 4

The public review opened on September 5 and was originally intended to run for 60 days, but has now been extended by another 30. A total of 721,632 owners received notifications via the my.gov.uz public services portal, and 380,525 people (52.7%) read them. Another 584,343 property owners were sent their results by SMS.

As of November 5, 11,035 owners had responded. Of them, 5,535 (50.15%) agreed with the valuation, while the remaining 5,500 submitted complaints and suggestions. A total of 3,210 property owners considered the value overstated, and 1,753 felt it was understated compared to the market rate. Another 273 people reported errors in cadastral records, and 264 submitted additional proposals.

According to Sultanov, taking part in the review is not mandatory, and the results themselves do not carry any legal consequences. The National Center also noted that valuations will not be revised without an owner's comments, and called fears that taxes will increase proportionally with the appraised value groundless. Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance Ahadbek Khaydarov previously stated that the agency has prepared proposals to reduce tax rates several times over.

The pilot project covered more than 600,000 apartments and 215,000 private houses. According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance, apartments were valued at a total of 426.7 trillion soums — almost 7.4 times higher than their cadastral value, while private houses were valued at 587 trillion soums compared to 39 trillion soums according to the cadastre. The ministry explained this gap by noting that the cadastre does not fully account for land value.
