Your Application, Clearly Explained

Get Your Documents Ready
Four important checks before visiting the PTR portal.
Check Whether You Need a PTR
PTR is a professional-tax transaction handled by the City Treasurer’s Office. Verify whether your profession and work situation require this tax. Ask the office about exemptions or special circumstances.
Check Your PRC or IBP Identification
Confirm your applicable professional ID is unexpired and prepare the genuine original for any required in-person verification.
Prepare New-Registrant Certification
If you are a new passer or registrant, prepare the applicable PRC or IBP certification specified in the Citizen’s Charter.
Confirm Your Address and Contact Details
Prepare your current Davao City address, mobile number and email. Make sure they are accurate before entering details in the government system.
Register, Log In & Verify Details
Use the genuine government website to access the Professional Tax service.
Open the Official PTR Website
Visit ptr.davaocity.gov.ph .
The 2026 Charter directs new users to the REGISTER HERE option. If the website is unavailable, contact the City Treasurer rather than using an unofficial alternative.
Register With a Username and Password
Select REGISTER HERE and follow the live form to create a username and secure password.
Keep your credentials private and avoid creating duplicate accounts unnecessarily.
Log In to Your PTR Account
Return to the login screen and sign in with the account you created.
Existing users should access their previous account rather than registering again.
Prepare the Assessment Documents
Check your PRC or IBP ID, any applicable certification and contact information against the official requirements.
Upload document files only if the genuine PTR system requests them. The Charter does not establish one universal upload button.
Review Personal and Professional Information
Follow the official account instructions and verify displayed details such as your name, profession, license, local address, tax year and contact information, where requested.
Enter only the fields shown by the genuine system.
Generate & Review the Payment Order
Check the correct tax year and generate the official Order of Payment.
Check the Tax Year Before Assessment
If the system displays a tax year or previous-year balance, review it carefully. Contact the City Treasurer if the tax period, license record or outstanding amount looks incorrect.
Generate the Order of Payment (OP)
The Citizen’s Charter instructs applicants to generate an Order of Payment through the PTR system.
Follow the current portal controls, review the transaction information and save your genuine OP reference.
Review the Assessed Professional Tax
The 2026 Charter lists a base professional tax of ₱300.00 under Section 58 of the City’s 2017 Revenue Code.
Check the actual amount on your official Order of Payment. Surcharges or previous obligations may affect the final total.
Pay Your Tax & Keep the Official Receipt
Use an authorized payment channel and retain proof of the genuine transaction.
Choose an Authorized Payment Channel
The Charter identifies payment through the City Treasurer’s Miscellaneous Fees Counters or the authorized LandBank e-Services payment facility.
Follow the official instructions associated with your Order of Payment.
Pay the Amount on Your Genuine Order
Present or enter the correct Order of Payment details when paying through the authorized channel. Keep any electronic transaction confirmation. The City Treasurer issues an Official Receipt (OR) as proof of payment.
Save the Official Receipt
Keep your genuine Official Receipt, Order of Payment information and transaction confirmation.
The published Charter confirms Official Receipt issuance, but does not guarantee an instant downloadable PTR PDF. Follow the official release procedure.
Check Your Payment Record and Future Renewal
If your payment does not appear in the system, or if you need another year’s PTR, contact the City Treasurer with your official OP and OR details. Confirm renewal, surcharge and document requirements directly with the office.
Payment, Processing & Office Details
Review the published tax and service information, and know where to request official assistance.
Professional Tax Amount
Listed tax: ₱300.00. Use the exact amount provided on your official Order of Payment, particularly if previous-year balances or surcharges apply.
Published Processing Estimate
The 2026 Charter allocates 10 minutes for account access, 5 minutes for payment-order processing and 3 minutes for payment/OR issuance: 18 minutes in total. Queues and downtime can take longer.
