The City of Ekurhuleni is aware of incorrect information contained in some Section 49 letters issued in terms of the general valuation roll inspection process.
Property owners would have received letters from the City issued during February calling for the inspection of the general valuation roll and lodging of objections as per section 49 of the Municipal Property Rates Act of 2004.
According to metro spokesperson Themba Gadebe, the letters have correct property owner information but the property description box and its contents are incorrect.
“This was a result of an error when merging data to mail these letters,” he said.
“The City is preparing new letters with the correct property description and values and these will all be mailed before end of March. ”
The certified valuation roll is open for inspection at Customer Care Centres as the certified roll remains intact despite the printing error on notices to inspect it.
The closing date for objections will be on Friday, May 5, at 3.30pm.
This still affords residents enough time to lodge objections (where applicable) in line with the relevant legislation.
The certified valuation roll can also be viewed on www.ekurhuleni.gov.za
