In Johar Town Lahore, the August 2026 average asking price of a 10 marla house was Rs 4.53 crore and a 5 marla house Rs 2.76 crore, Zameen Index shows. A 10 marla house rents for about Rs 1.75 lakh a month. For tax, FBR values a residential marla in Johar Town at Rs 15.71 lakh.
Johar Town is an LDA scheme, not a private society. LDA still sells a few plots here by ballot and decides what you may run from a house, so those two things matter more than a developer’s approval.
These are averages of asking prices on Zameen.com, so treat them as a starting point, not what buyers actually paid. To turn these sizes into square feet, use our marla to square feet converter.
| Property | Average asking price, Aug 2026 | A year earlier | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 marla house | Rs 2.76 crore | Rs 2.66 crore | +4% |
| 10 marla house | Rs 4.53 crore | Rs 4.31 crore | +5% |
| 1 kanal house | Rs 8.56 crore | Rs 7.5 crore | +14% |
| 5 marla plot | Rs 1.82 crore | Rs 1.61 crore | +13% |
| 1 kanal plot | Rs 6.65 crore | Rs 5.05 crore | +32% |
Over a longer run, the 5 marla house average rose 82% from Rs 1.52 crore in August 2021. The 10 marla house average rose 29% in three years, from Rs 3.51 crore in August 2023.
We left the 10 marla plot out of the table. Zameen’s average for it stayed at exactly the same figure from August 2024 to April 2026, a sign of few listings, then jumped to Rs 2.79 crore by August 2026.
On 17 October 2026, Zameen showed 675 homes and 208 plots for sale in Johar Town, so there is plenty to choose from. Zameen splits the area into Phase 1 and Phase 2, each with lettered blocks.
| House | Average asking rent, Aug 2026 | A year earlier | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 marla | Rs 1.17 lakh a month | Rs 1.02 lakh | +15% |
| 10 marla | Rs 1.75 lakh a month | Rs 1.64 lakh | +6% |
| 1 kanal | Rs 3.42 lakh a month | Rs 3.42 lakh | 0% |
These are Zameen Index averages of asking rents. We found no reliable average for portions or flats. Before you move in, put the deal in writing with a rent agreement and complete tenant registration in Punjab.
FBR’s valuation table sets the value used for income tax when you buy or sell. Lahore’s table is S.R.O. 1722(I)/2024 of 29 October 2024. FBR amended it on 19 May 2026, but only for DHA rows, so these Johar Town values still apply as of October 2026.
| FBR row | Residential plot, per marla | Commercial plot, per marla |
|---|---|---|
| Johar Town | Rs 15.71 lakh | Rs 31.15 lakh |
| Johar Town Main Roads | Rs 19.31 lakh | Rs 40.4 lakh |
| Shoukat Khanam Hospital to WAPDA Town roundabout | No residential value | Rs 39.24 lakh |
Built-up area is added on top: Rs 2,000 per sq ft for a residential building and Rs 2,500 per sq ft for a commercial one. Check the row on your papers: FBR lists places such as “Johar Villas Dhan Singh Wala” and “Din Ajodia Pur Johar” separately, at lower values.
Our guide to tax on property sales shows how these values feed into the tax you pay.
Yes, a few at a time, by computerized ballot. LDA’s own ballot lists include Johar Town commercial plots, Johar Town Residential (R-I) and, in 2026, 5 marla plots in Block K.
| Ballot | Plots | What we know |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Feb 2026 | 37 five-marla residential plots, Block R | Rs 20,000 non-refundable application fee |
| 9 Sep 2026 | 25 five-marla residential plots, Block K | 557 applications, from LDA’s own list |
Winners pay in 12 equal instalments over three years, with 5% off for paying in one go. You apply online through LDA’s mobile app or website, or at the LDA Citizen Facilitation Center.
With about 22 applicants for every Block K plot, most people will buy on the open market instead. If you do, check the transfer papers with our guide to property transfer in Punjab.
Only on roads where LDA allows it, and only after you pay a conversion fee. The Auditor-General’s 2018-19 report on LDA lists these Johar Town roads:
Under LDA’s Land Use Regulations 2020, the fee on a List-A road is 20% of the commercial value of the whole plot in the valuation table. A scrutiny fee of Rs 5,000 to Rs 20,000 is added, depending on plot size. LDA no longer takes new applications for temporary or annual commercialization.
That audit is from 2018-19, so ask LDA’s town planning office whether your road’s status has changed. It also found LDA had allowed annual commercialization in Johar Town without checking the use, and listed six 12 to 20 marla plots used as a clinic, college or academy below the minimum plot size.
LDA’s online list of its own schemes had no Johar Town entry on 17 October 2026, though LDA runs ballots, town planning and sealing drives here. The list also leaves out Gulberg, so we treat it as incomplete. We couldn’t find an official date for when LDA launched Johar Town.
APP reported 1,520 applications for the whole September 2026 ballot. LDA’s own list shows 557 of them were for the 25 Block K plots, and we use LDA’s figure.
Next door, south of Johar Town, is Wapda Town, a co-operative society with its own LDA approval. Compare Johar Town with Gulberg and Faisal Town.
