As per section 271 of Kerala Municipality Act, tax need to be paid on advertisements. If the above mentioned advt is without sanction, you can file a petition to Panchayath/Municipality secretary to remove it.


Sec 272- Prohibition of advertisement without written permission of the Secretary.


If the above fixed advertisement is a nuisance to public or in a dangerous situation, which affects public, a petition can be preferred under section 133 of Code of Criminal Procedure code also, before the RDO. U  can also forward the same to Panchayath Secretary also.

  1. Dear sir
    If a person erect an advertisement board without my permission within the land which i pay tax in my name what to do? The man who erected has a right of use for the same road as per agreement. Who to complaint ? Whether such acts are considered as breach of peaceful enjoyment of land?

  2. Usually, Municipality/Corp/Panchayath will collect advertisement taxes for such boards. If it is erected on the basis of any agreement and otherwise, tax need to be paid on every term. You can file a petition before the M/P/Corp secretary and object the license.
    The permission of local authority is necessary for erecting a hoarding.
