New Yong Peng taxes set for 2025
Yong Peng District Council (MDYP) is conducting a property evaluation exercise as part of its plan to introduce new assessment rates.

Its president Nur Faiz Jamil (pic) said this was following the introduction of new assessment taxes by five of the largest local councils in Johor this year.

“We have also not done a property reassessment since 2013, so this year, we have appointed a company to carry out an evaluation of the seven operation areas under MDYP.

“The evaluation is expected to be completed by end of this month and we can expect the new assessment to be introduced by January next year,” he said.

Nur Faiz added that there were more than 20,000 property holders under MDYP, which covers Yong Peng, Ayer Hitam, Semarang, Parit Yaani, Sri Medan, Parit Sulong and Lam Lee.

“The introduction will depend on the approval by Johor state executive council.

“MDYP has collected around RM20mil in revenue for 2022 and 2023 and this will go towards improving public amenities,” he said.

Besides MDYP, Kota Tinggi District Council, Tangkak District Council, Simpang Renggam District Council, Labis District Council, Mersing District Council, Batu Pahat Municipal Council, Muar Municipal Council, Segamat Municipal Council and Pontian Municipal Council are also carrying out reassessments.

The councils that have completed their reassessments are Pasir Gudang City Council, Iskandar Puteri City Council, Johor Baru City Council, Kluang Municipal Council, Kulai Municipal Council and Pengerang Municipal Council.

Separately, Nur Faiz said MDYP, through its Yayasan Makmur Yong Peng, would be organising a corporate social responsibility programme for the coming fasting month and Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

“We will be giving food aid to needy and poor families.

“This has been one of our annual programmes during each festive season, including Chinese New Year, Deepavali and Christmas,” he said.
