Land registration cost in Chattogram: the Group 5 mouzas
Chattogram is the only city outside Dhaka with its own mouza group in the rule 6 table — Group 5 — and its numbers tell the market's story: a 3% rate and floors well below Dhaka's, because the port city's land values, while high, are not Dhanmondi's.
Group 5, exactly as the rules list it
Stations: Chandgaon, Panchlaish and Bayezid thanas, the Chattogram cantonment area, and Kalurghat and Patiya. Rate: 3%. Floors per decimal: Classes A & C — ৳1,75,000 · Classes B & D — ৳70,000 · Class E — ৳70,000 · Class F — ৳35,000.
Land in Chattogram outside those stations is not unpriced — it falls to Table 2: pourashava mouzas at 2% or ৳10,000 per decimal, and upazila mouzas at 2% or ৳500 per decimal. When you run the land calculator, choose "Pourashava area" or "Upazila / other area" for those, and Group 5 only for the listed stations.
A worked Chattogram registration
Ten decimals of residential (Class D) land in Panchlaish, deed value ৳50,00,000. Source tax: the higher of 3% (৳1,50,000) and the floor ৳70,000 × 10 (৳7,00,000) → ৳7,00,000 — the floor binds, as it usually does in the city. Buyer side inside the city corporation: registration ৳50,000 · stamp ৳75,000 · local government tax at 2% ৳1,00,000 = ৳2,25,000. All-in ৳9,25,000, plus fixed fees and e-mutation. The same deed value in a Group 1 Dhaka mouza would have carried a floor of ৳35,00,000 before the section 125(2) ceiling stepped in.
Flats in Chattogram
A resale flat prices its structure exactly as in Dhaka (৳800 per sq m or 8% in a city corporation area), and its land share at the Group 5 floors above. A developer flat runs under section 126 — and here Chattogram buyers should read the calculator's note carefully: the per-square-metre ladder is confirmed for the Dhaka groups (1–3) and for areas outside the listed groups, but the steps attaching to the middle groups are unverified, so for a Chattogram developer flat the tool shows that line as conditional rather than inventing a rate. The section 126 guide explains the position.

Is land cheaper to register in Chattogram than Dhaka?
The source tax usually is: Group 5’s floors are a fraction of Group 1’s, and the rate is 3% against 5%. The buyer-side charges are the same as anywhere (1% + 1.5% + local government tax), except the local government tax inside the city corporation is 2% against 3% outside it.
