You have to get your documents scrutinised by a lawyer well versed in this field for ascertaining the nature of property.
Give a reply notice to the notice by the civic authorities and defend your interests as well as deny the knowledge and request for waiver of arrears payment by expressing your willingness to pay the enhanced rate of tax from the current period.
You have to manage the situation craftily instead of putting up a fight against, if you desire to get releif.

Well advised by Mr.Kalaiselvan. I would like to add that land classification may be true. But the building if rent out commercial purpose to be taxed at commercial rate. Hence if you talk to same official they will guide you better for compliance of revenue also protect your interest. If not yielding results administratively then you may resort to legal advise and legal course of action.
