Gazipur City Corporation

What Gazipur City Corporation does

Gazipur City Corporation (গাজীপুর সিটি কর্পোরেশন) is a statutory municipal government body under the Local Government Division of the Government of Bangladesh, established in 2013 and headquartered in Gazipur. It administers urban governance, public service delivery, and civic infrastructure across an 8-zone jurisdiction (Tongi, Pubail, Gacha, Gazipur Sadar, Kaulia, Basan, Konabari, and Kashimpur), serving residents, property owners, commercial businesses, and BFSIC industrial area operators. Core services include holding tax collection, trade license issuance and renewal, water supply connections, birth and death registration, road maintenance, waste management, and urban planning.

GCC's technology stack centers on an e-Governance platform anchored at gcc.gov.bd, comprising the e-Revenue Portal (erevenue.gcc.gov.bd) for holding tax and trade licensing, a dedicated Water Connection and Complaint Portal (water.gcc.gov.bd), a Zimbra-based internal web mail system, and a Grievance Redress System. The infrastructure runs on Oracle Cloud storage and is integrated with national e-governance systems including the Bangladesh National Portal, BDRIS, e-GP procurement, the forms portal, and the e-directory. Technical support is provided by Spectrum IT Solutions Ltd., with strategic development partnerships involving JICA, UNICEF Urban, and LGED.

The revenue model combines own-source municipal revenue streams — holding tax (zone-based per the City Corporation Standard Tax Schedule 2016), trade license fees, market rents, and water supply charges — with annual budget allocations from the Government of Bangladesh. Service delivery occurs through 8 physical regional offices staffed by Regional Executive Officers and self-serve digital portals. Leadership currently comprises Administrator Md. Shawkat Hossain Sarkar and Chief Executive Officer Miz Tanzeela Khanam (Joint Secretary), with the corporation operating under a hierarchical local government structure with no private ownership or external shareholders.
