Quit Rent Johor: Rate ~RM0.025/sq ft, Deadline 31 Mei
Johor quit rent (cukai tanah) is administered by the Pejabat Tanah dan Galian Johor (PTG Johor) under the State Land Office. The annual deadline is 31 May — same as Selangor and most other states. Johor has one of the lower residential quit rent rates in Malaysia at ~RM0.025/sq ft, but must still be paid annually to avoid accumulating penalties.
Johor vs KL — Key Difference
Johor quit rent deadline is 31 May. KL deadline is 28 February. If you own property in both states, note the different deadlines. Johor residential rates (~RM0.025/sq ft) are slightly cheaper than KL (~RM0.035/sq ft).

4 Tips for Johor Property Owners
1. Set a May reminder
Johor's 31 May deadline falls on the same day as Selangor. Pay in April to avoid last-minute rushes and ensure the payment clears.
2. Iskandar Malaysia property owners — note the new developments
Rapid development in Johor (Forest City, Medini, Iskandar) may affect land categories. Verify your title category hasn't changed after major infrastructure projects.
3. Settle before selling or transferring
Any outstanding quit rent must be cleared before a property transaction can proceed. Your lawyer will check this during the due diligence process — avoid surprises.
4. Condo owners in JB — check with your MC
If you own a strata property (condo, apartment, serviced residence), the Management Corporation pays quit rent centrally. Verify this is included in your maintenance fees so you're not double-paying.
