Guide only
BetterRamon.org does not collect payments, accept applications or issue documents. Assessments, official receipts and permits come only from the offices of LGU Ramon. Property records and tax declarations are kept by the Municipal Assessor’s Office.
Local fees, schedules and forms can differ by ordinance. Items marked “To be verified” are not yet confirmed for Ramon; ask the office before you go.
What is a tax declaration?
A tax declaration (TD) is the Assessor’s record of a property for tax purposes. It shows the property’s location, area, classification, market value and assessed value. Real property tax is computed from the assessed value. A TD is not proof of ownership; a land title is.
Common requests at the Assessor’s Office
- Certified true copy of a tax declaration. Bring a valid ID and the TD number or property details. If you are not the owner, bring an authorization letter.
- New declaration of an undeclared property or a new building. Bring proof of ownership or possession, a sketch or survey plan, and, for buildings, the building permit and plans.
- Transfer of a tax declaration after a sale, donation or inheritance. Usually required: the deed or settlement document, the BIR Certificate Authorizing Registration, the transfer tax receipt, the new or annotated title, and a real property tax clearance.
- Real property tax clearance from the Treasurer’s Office, showing your taxes are paid.

How property values are set
The Assessor prepares a schedule of market values for each property class, which the Sangguniang approves by ordinance. The assessed value is the market value times an assessment level set by class (for example, residential or agricultural). The Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act (RA 12001) of 2024 now guides how these values are updated.
Tax mapping
The Assessor keeps tax maps that show every parcel in each barangay with its property index number (PIN). The PIN links the parcel to its tax declaration. Tax mapping finds undeclared or wrongly declared properties so each owner pays the right share.
- Find your PIN: it is printed on your tax declaration. Bring it when you request records or pay real property tax.
- If a tax mapping team visits: ask for their LGU ID. Show your tax declaration or title, and point out your boundaries and any new buildings.
- Wrong area, boundary or classification on your record? Bring your title, survey plan or approved subdivision plan to the Assessor and ask for a correction.
Parcel ownership records are personal data, so this site does not publish a parcel-owner map. Ramon’s tax mapping schedule: To be verified.
Disagree with your assessment?
You can appeal to the Local Board of Assessment Appeals within 60 days of receiving the notice of assessment. Pay the tax under protest if you want to keep your right to a refund.
