BIR Zonal Value Finder

Look up official BIR zonal values for properties across the Philippines. Search by city, barangay, or street name.

What is Zonal Value?

Zonal value is the BIR's assigned valuation for properties in specific areas, used as the tax basis for real estate transactions. When you sell, inherit, or donate property, the BIR uses the higher of the zonal value or selling price to compute taxes like Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and Documentary Stamp Tax (DST).

How Zonal Value Affects Your Taxes

The BIR compares your property's zonal value against the actual selling price. Whichever is higher becomes the tax basis. This means even if you sell below zonal value, you'll still pay taxes based on the zonal value.

Example: If you sell a property for ₱3M but the zonal value computes to ₱3.5M, your CGT (6%) will be based on ₱3.5M = ₱210,000.

About Zonal Values

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BIR Zonal Value?

Zonal value is the minimum property valuation set by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for tax purposes. It's used as the tax basis for computing Capital Gains Tax, Documentary Stamp Tax, Estate Tax, and Donor's Tax when the zonal value exceeds the actual selling price.

How is zonal value different from market value?

Zonal value is set by the BIR and updated every 1-2 years. Market value is the actual price buyers and sellers agree on, which changes daily based on supply and demand. Zonal values are typically lower than market values, but taxes are computed on whichever is higher.

Why do I need to know the zonal value?

You need zonal value to accurately compute taxes when selling, inheriting, or donating property. The BIR compares your transaction price against the zonal value — whichever is higher becomes your tax basis. Knowing this helps you budget for taxes accurately.

How often does BIR update zonal values?

Under the TRAIN Law, BIR is mandated to update zonal values every 3 years. However, updates can happen more frequently in high-growth areas. Always check the effective date when looking up zonal values.

Where does this data come from?

Our zonal value data is extracted from official BIR Department Orders published for each Revenue District Office (RDO). We verify against bir.gov.ph and update when new schedules are released.

What if I can't find my location?

If your exact street isn't listed, use the barangay-level zonal value. If your barangay isn't listed, contact your local RDO for the latest schedule. Some newly-developed areas may not have assigned zonal values yet.
