TAX MAPPING AWARENESS

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!

Not all buildings identified during tax mapping are taxable!

Under the Local Government Code of 1991 (Sec. 234) and the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the following are generally EXEMPT from Real Property Tax:

✅ Government-owned buildings (for public use)
✅ Churches, mosques & religious structures
✅ Charitable institutions
✅ Non-stock, non-profit schools (used for education)
✅ Properties used exclusively for public service

This is further supported by Article XIV, Section 4(3) of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which protects tax exemptions for educational institutions.

As reinforced by the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act, tax mapping ensures fairness—but also protects lawful exemptions.

Being included in tax mapping does NOT automatically mean you will be taxed. It only means your property is being recorded and verified. If it qualifies under the law, it remains tax-exempt.

Remember:
“Mapped” does NOT always mean “Taxed.”
Validation is key!

Let’s support transparent, fair, and lawful property assessment in our communities.

More than two years in the making and we’re just getting started.

From downtown streets to highways, from railroads to rivers, and from smooth terrain to the toughest roads, this journey has tested us in every way.

After nearly 30 years, we reignited tax mapping in Libmanan, facing challenges head-on, learning through every setback, and celebrating each hard-earned success. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been deeply fulfilling.

Because this is what public service truly means.

The lessons we’ve gained are not ours alone, they belong to the entire Municipality of Libmanan. While not every path is certain, each one leaves behind stories, growth, and memories worth keeping.

32 out of 75 barangays mapped.
And we’re not stopping here.

More ground to cover.
More challenges to face.
More meaningful victories ahead.

This is the real tax mapping journey demanding, relentless, yet incredibly rewarding.
