Property valuation objection process on track

The objection process is prescribed by the Municipal Property Rates Act and is handled as per Sections 49 and 50 of the act.

Over 47 000 objections were received on the 2021 – 2025 general valuation for properties in the City of Ekurhuleni.

Of the 47 610 objections received, 4 270 were duplicates caused by multiple submissions of objections on one property.

All objections have been resolved, except for 400 special properties which will be finalised during December. Property owners can expect objection outcome letters (Valuer’s Decisions) from the municipal valuer via email and post notifying objectors and or property owners in the next week.

Once the outcome is received, property owners can appeal. The appeal period closes on March 4.
If any person has not received the objection outcome letter by January 20, they can visit the valuations section at Kempton Park Civic Centre for a re-print of the letter and or be assisted with submission of appeal.

Note that no appeal will be accepted via email, only hand-deliveries will be accepted at the valuations section.
